Why This Must Be Read: SG-1 visits a world with truly unique aliens, and then Jack gets snaked by a goa'uld like they've never seen before. The story of their ordeal and the aftermath is told in a back and forth style to reveal in pieces both the horror of what happened and the guilt carried afterward. Incredibly angsty with friendship and love shining through.

Excerpt:
"Hard to believe you still wanted to save me by that point," Jack muttered.

Daniel's head shot up, his eyes blazing. "Don't talk like that. You're alive, Jack. Everything else, we'll deal with. But if you --" Daniel's face got red and he twisted up his mouth, swallowing hard. When he spoke again his voice was tight and strained. "I thought we got this straightened out on the first mission to Abydos. Alive is better than dead."

"Not always."

"Yes it fucking is!" Daniel yelled at him, abandoning any attempt at control. He staggered to his feet and loomed over Jack, so angry Jack honestly thought he might throw a punch. He wrapped his fists in Jack's shirt, trying to drag him to his feet. "You've got no right to give up now, you cowardly son of a bitch. Do you hear me?"

"Daniel." He put his hands over Daniel's fists, still clenched in his shirt. "Don't do this."
