Reactions and Reviews
Ok, don't smack me, but it's sortof a Gen fic, slash undertones, but still sortof gen. I usually don't read gen, but it was at a slash site and well, I didn't realize there was no sex, until I already got into it and started liking it. You can think of it as pre-slash and hope maybe she'll think of doing a sequel getting the guys together. That's how I prefer to think of it. I don't really read gen, anymore than I read het stuff. I'm a true slash slut. Anyway, moving on to the rec. The story has a really beautiful sweetness to it. In this one it is the one year anniversary of the death of Daniel's wife Shar'e. Jack knows Daniel is suffering, but trying to put up a brave front and hide it. So he talks him into coming with him to a little visit to his parents house. Intending to give Daniel a little comfort and pampering from all sides during this difficult time for him. I absolutely love Jack's family in this. They are great. Not your typical Ozzie and Harriet here. Jack's mom flirts with Daniel like crazy and pampers him silly. They tease and joke with each other constantly. I think his family was the thing I liked most in this, they weren't perfect, but I hate those perfect families we always see. They are a little weird, but they truly care for one another and just adopt Daniel as one of their own. They think he's so damn cute they practically don't want to give him back. This respite from his hectic and, at times, harsh life is just what Daniel needs. Jack knows better than anyone what it is like to lose someone you love and he knows Daniel doesn't need reminded of that. There's no need to remind someone of something they never forget, think about every minute of the day, in fact. They need reminding that there is life out there and people who truly care about them. That is what he gives Daniel, a reminder that he is loved. Jack is completely gone for Daniel in this one, though I'm not even sure he realizes it fully. His mom sees it, so it's not to hard to identify. I would love a sequel to this, maybe biblio will do one if we beg nicely. I liked that she didn't get them together in this one, that wasn't what the story was about. Wouldn't have worked between them if she did, not the right time for romance when your mourning the anniversary of your wife's death. I knew I was going to rec this one as I read it, even though it does lean heavy on the gen side with only slash innuendos. I loved it you probably will too.[1]
Jack takes Daniel to his family for some much needed rest. Hilarity ensues. Don't drink or eat while reading, this is hysterical. rec: Feb 2001[2]
