Why This Must Be Read: A quiet and lovely scene between Daniel, Teal'c, and the idea of translation. I love this take on historical preservation and translation, and the fic shows both characters as intelligent and introspective.
Daniel smiled, a little tiredly. “Exactly. I want to honour what they mean, not reduce it to some dull definition in English. That’s what worries me. What if I get it wrong?”
“You honour them by remembering, Daniel Jackson,” Teal’c replied, his voice calm. “And by attempting understanding. Even an imperfect translation carries respect.”
