Why This Must Be Read: And now for something completely different... I've been on an AU kick for the last week thanks to surfing the Jack/Daniel tag over at del.icio.us and, wow, are there some scary things out there. This was one of the good finds (obviously).
The set-up is this: Daniel, complete with triple PhDs, is working as a professional psychologist, counseling children and teens dealing with issues of sexual identity. He also happens to be the adopted, only son of Senator Rogers. Besides the sticky politics of sexuality, Daniel (who is gay) is giving a speech at a gay pride rally, which has precipitated a slew of hate mail and threatening letters. Daniel doesn't consider this particularly worrisome, but his father disagrees and bullies him into a bodyguard for the week leading up to and for during the rally. It would have been three weeks leading up to the rally, but the other three bodyguards had found Daniel a bit much to handle. *cough* Enter Jack O'Neill, retired Air Force Colonel, who has been accepting side jobs as security detail.
What hooked me in here was the characterizations. This is Jack with a lot less scars (emotional, mainly) and Daniel... oh dear God. Think Absolute Power with no evil and all wicked. Adopted by the Senator at the age of 10, Daniel has long found his place in the world and is quite comfortable in it as well as in his own skin. Of which, Jack gets to see plenty. *snickers*
Author's Summary: Political intrigues and threats bring two men into each other's lives.
Excerpt: The door was finally closed and Daniel leaned back against it, eyes closed. "One and a half hours..." he muttered.
Jack sighed with relief. Somehow, against all odds, they'd managed to get through the visit without...
"One and a half *hours*, Jack."
Jack looked away from the window and carefully watched his lover push away from the door. "One and a half fucking hours." Daniel suddenly moved, fast, across the room, vaulting over the back of the low couch, aiming for Jack, who stood frozen to the spot for a moment, but then it was already too late. He didn't make it more than a few steps across the elevated part of the floor, in front of the floor to ceiling window, before Daniel tackled him.
