Reactions and Reviews

After Daniel's "death" in the episode "Fire and Water", Jack realises he's in love with Daniel and lusts after him, a shock as Jack has only ever wanted women before.

"What happened?"

"The water was running," Daniel admitted, trying not to remember the feeling that had swamped him only moments before. "I..."

"Had a flashback?" Jack asked softly. He knew how that felt. They'd ALL had flashbacks. Jack during Daniel's memorial service party. Sam at Daniel's old apartment. Even Teal'c had experienced flashbacks. Jack wasn't at all surprised Daniel was suffering them too. He'd had to live through far more than the rest of them. He was the one who'd been trapped underwater.

"Yeah." Running water. Bubbles. God. Daniel didn't want to remember the feeling of thinking he would never see home or his friends ever again. Nem hadn't hurt him, but Daniel would be lying if he said he hadn't been afraid. He had been. "I cut myself. Fucking stupid."

"Not stupid at all," Jack assured him gently, and took the razor out of Daniel's shaking fingers. "You want some help?"

Some readers won't like the Britishisms in this story, and the characterisation owes more to fanon stereotypes than to canon, but I still liked this story a lot. Basically, for me, this was a very hot story, funny in places and with a nice, if not strictly canonical, Jack characterisation. Occasionally the fanon threw me out of the story but overall it's still very entertaining and sweet. HOT sex, too, which is always plus.[1]
