Why This Must Be Read: “All Daniel wanted was a bottle of milk...”

This ficlet makes me cackle with glee, because I find it to be so perfectly Daniel. Go about his perfectly innocent business. Run into (possibly mortal) danger. Seek a peaceful solution, try to keep things calm, open a dialogue and establish a line of negotiation… and, when all else fails, use whatever tool is at hand to whack the bad guy over the head.

Too short for a snippet, but well worth the read. And look! mistraltoes wrote a remix of this: Trigger Finger (The Eleven O'Clock Remix).

Oh sorry! Forgot that different people have different spoiler limits for plot synopsis. Didn't really go into much more detail than what's on the back cover of the book, though.

::blinks:: The back cover specifies what Sobek does to Daniel?! Good grief. In that case, I apologize. :)

Eh, mostly still me sticking my foot in my mouth. The exact quote is 'When Jackson refuses, the Goa'uld resorts to devastating measures to ensure his cooperation.'. Again, I apologize, I've been out of mainstream-fandom for awhile and got rusty on spoilers-nettiquette outside of my own friendslist. I really just meant to emphasize that it's an action-packed plot and lots of team-angst.

Don't worry about it! And yes, it does sound like a good read. I hope I'll get a chance to pick it up one of these days.
