Why This Must Be Read: Redbyrd's website is a treasure trove of beautifully written gen fic. Marking Time is an amazing extension of what Daniel and the rest of the team and SGC were up to during A Hundred Days while Jack was stuck on Edora. I particularly love the well-rendered SGC military personnel and Daniel fitting himself into other SG teams in true anthropologist fashion.

Daniel Jackson stood in the hold of the Air Force cargo plane and listened attentively to the instructions that Jack was giving over the noise of the engines. 'Never a dull moment in this business.' He never thought when he'd learned to skydive that he'd ever be using it on the job. Then again, he had possibly the most unpredictable job in the universe. He should be expecting the unexpected by now. He wished he didn't know exactly how dangerous this was. They were at 7000 feet and just under the clouds. There was a brisk crosswind blowing and it looked like it could snow at any moment. A far cry from the sunny July day he'd first done this at the Air Force Academy.
