Why This Must Be Read: I adore fics that explore the remarkable friendship between Teal'c and Daniel. This is early, early S1 - post The Enemy Within - that features Teal'c and Daniel as two outsiders in a crowd, considering cultural conflicts and hoping to build some bridges together. Lovely stuff, all round!


Teal’s stood silently at parade rest, finally offering, “It is a temperate evening.”

Daniel frowned at him. “What?”

“I have observed that many of your people begin a conversation with meaningless exchanges concerning climate.”

“Oh, well.”

The silence stretched out again.

Why This Must Be Read: Quantum mirror time (I like quantum mirror stories, oh yes). This is a lovely angst-ridden story for Daniel fans especially, as SG-1 find themselves in an alternate universe... in the past, in particular at that moment (which every fan will know, oh yes) of little Daniel's life when his life fell apart. And our Daniel remembers it all too well to just turn around and leave him, thus setting up changes and complications that cannot easily (and maybe can't at all) be undone...

A well-written little Daniel, traumatised and in pain but still intelligent and so very him, lots of wrenching suffering both physical and emotional for both Daniels, heaps of team support and empathy, Jack's all too well known bond for children made even more so by who the child is... and out of it all a happy ending in at least one universe. What's not to love?
