Why This Must Be Read: Daniel at his snarky best. What more could you want? Well, it's Daniel at his snarky best, written by one of the queens of gen fic. How's that for more?
I've always been a bit annoyed at fanfic writers who write Daniel as a wide-eyed, naive innocent. This is, after all, the same guy who pointed out to Jack and Teal'c that as long as they were going through the time loops in Window of Opportunity, they could do anything they want without consequences. In this fun little episode tag, Betacandy seizes on a single facial expression of Daniel's and a single line of dialogue to present us with a very entertaining possibility - and even has Jack admiring that common misconception about SG-1's archeologist.
The fic takes place right in the middle of Spirits, and it's simply Daniel complaining to Jack that he tried to get him some entertaining blackmail material, but the natives wouldn't cooperate... Very short, sweet, and delightfully in character, this story is sure to put a grin on your face.

“Sounds like your field trip went well.”
“Yeah, well,” Daniel said. Then he lowered his voice and leaned in a bit closer so only Jack could hear him. “Could’ve gone better.”
Jack looked at his face for clues, but it was perfectly inscrutable. “Yeah?”
The corner of Daniel’s mouth twitched ever so slightly, and he held up two fingers in pinching mode. “I was this close, Jack. This close. To gold.”
“It’s trinium, Daniel.”
He ignored that and breezed right along. “And it would have made such a nice ‘get well’ present for you."
Oh, so this was Devious Daniel he was dealing with. Could get interesting. Looking around to make sure no one was listening, he asked, “What did you do?”
Daniel was really struggling not to grin now, but he covered it with a big wince. “Nothing – unfortunately.”
Just drag it out and milk it for all it’s worth, eh? “What did you try to do?”
