Why This Must Be Read:

This is another lovely S9 vignette -- set a bit later in the season -- that presents the physical details of Jack's Washington office as touchstones at the confluence of his personal history and his changed professional circumstances. It features outstanding Jack voice and a wonderful combination of humor, biting realism, and affectionate warmth. About 562 words.

Excerpt:

Personal old stuff, old stuff that matters, that Jack understands caring about. He has plenty of mementos at home—pictures, letters, even that Power Ranger Charlie had saved his allowance for with a grim determination unlike any five-year-old Jack had ever met, armless now as a result of the kid's love of taking things apart. Back at the SGC, he'd even kept some personal stuff on-base, because he'd spent so much time there it might as well have been home. Somehow, it had felt right to have pieces of home there with him.

My pleasure! I love that piece, and 'Tourist Attractions,' which janedavitt beat me to by a couple of years *g*.
