I recently dug this out of my slash library to re-read and in the process rediscovered why I loved it so much. Put aside the Jack/Danielness of it and read it for the writing. Spare, lovely, evocative. Alien without silliness and rape that makes you almost as sick as Daniel.
More than a soupcon of plot, excellent character voices and more than a passing reference to other team members.
Back to the Jack/Danielness.
This is those two stripped down to the bone. It's a fairly rugged piece that way. Nicely twisty with some truly tender moments. My only reservation was that, as with most h/c, there wasn't enough comfort. While I'm a big fan of the story left hanging, I think in this instance I would have liked to seen a more comfortable resolution.
It's not a hanky story, but it will make you want to eat Ben and Jerry's and read some fuzzy warm fic afterwards.
But you won't be sorry.
