Why This Must Be Read: This is a brand new story just posted today, but as soon as I read it I knew it would be my first rec for Sam/Daniel this month. It's a beautiful look at Daniel's life and the women who have gained his love, and who have loved him in return. From his mother to Sarah to Sha're to Sam, I think Daniel has always been a little in awe of how they love him. Abyssinia writes a beautiful set of snapshots to Daniel's life, past to present and back again, always borrowing heavily from the archeology he loves so passionately.

I label this a Sam/Daniel story because out of all his relationships in the story, his relationship with Sam is the one not proven in canon. And yet it is woven into the fabric of his life in a very real way.

This will be a wonderful read not only to Sam/Daniel fans but to those who are simply Daniel fans as well. Abyssinia is a (mostly) gen writer with a guilty penchant toward Sam/Daniel. By all means, go and lay gifts at this new (SG) writer's feet and make sure she stays a good long time with us! :)

It's so GREAT. I love her insight into Daniel's life.

Wow. You know what? I didn't even *realize* what I'd done with his mother (in terms of tying her in with Sha're and Sarah and Sam) until I read this. I love when readers see something in my stories I didn't realize was there!

I told my beta last night that Daniel/archaeology metaphors appears to be my strongest bulletproof kink. I can't resist them.

Thank you for the rec! It's quite an honor.

That happens to me too. People say, "hey, I love how you did this and it all tied back into this." And I'm like, "I DID??" Heh! Live and learn, even through your own writing! :)

You're welcome! You deserve it.
