Why This Must Be Read: I love Jack and Daniel ficlets like these - a quiet moment of communication between two people who know each other very, very well, and use that intuitive understanding to deal with the aftermath of a crisis.

 

Lokei gives us Jack and Daniel after Broca Divide, including Jack's discomfort over attacking Daniel and some nice insight into why it was so important to Daniel to help Melosha. There's a little angst, and a little comfort, and a snarky conclusion... and beer.

 

That sums it up all up, doesn't? :)

 

“And who knows why you remember more than I do about that Touched stuff,” Jack continued blithely, turning on the charm. Distraction he could do. “Maybe you should be thanking your allergy meds, or maybe you’re just more evolved than I am, or something.”

Daniel’s lips resumed their upwards progress. “Something like that,” he agreed, and Jack did an invisible inner victory dance.

“C’mon,” he said, slapping Daniel’s shoulder. “Pizza and beer, my treat. Lots of beer.”

Daniel tilted his head to one side and Jack saw with pleasure the gleam that returned to his eyes. “Voluntary devolution this time?” he queried with a small smirk.

Jack grinned. “Something like that.”
