Reactions and Reviews

This story is immensely satisfying to me -- I love Merry's Jack, and Daniel, and Sam, and Teal'c, and Hammond... and Hairy (the OC of the piece. He's fabulous.). And I love her team, and how they work together, and how it's made up of all these small units that come together to make a big unit -- Jack and Daniel in lovely synch, Jack and Teal'c understanding each other so well, Sam and Daniel geeking out so alike and so differently... it's just fun, watching them all bicker and tease and take care of each other and be a team. She also hits one of my big buttons -- yearning restrained by duty and honor. Watching Jack and Daniel's awareness grow even as they never lose sight of who and what they are is wonderful.[2]

jack’s precious leave time is interrupted by the tollan sending the team on a wild goose chase; i would tend to characterize this as preslash rather than out-and-out slash, with a fantastic team dynamic, believable character voices and a very amusing alien. great fun, and very sweet without being sentimental.[3]
