Reactions and Reviews

I just couldn't hold off rec'ing this story anymore. Had to. Ok, I admit yes I have a 'guilty pleasure' thing going on with this story. This is an alternate universe story where things are different, but the same in alot of ways. To start with Jack is a general in this one and has four sons, all of whom are alive. His wife, however, is dead. Daniel is still an archeologist, but working as a bartender to help pay some bills. At this point, your probably understanding the title now. I'll admit this story doesn't have perfect writing in it. Some of her language choices are weird, but she doesn't really use them offensively. In some way I think it is like how if you take a word some might use as derogatory and use it in another context it takes the power from it. It can't hurt you if you use it to me a good thing. Oh, she doesn't use any big one, small ones that don't really bug you. It has some problems, but I see promise in the writer. It's the damn characterizations I think that I just love. This story is AU, but Jack is still Jack and Daniel still Daniel. Situations may be different, but the guys are still the same, mostly. I absolutely love Jack's kids, Brad especially. The way he accepts them all as they are, no strings attached kindof love. The way the whole family just absorbs Daniel into them without him really noticing or minding. It's still sortof pre-slash, but I think the guys are getting there. I can't help it I just fell in love with the damn story from the start and eagerly await each new section. I'm listing this as my guilty pleasure, it's a rec for it, but go in knowing it's not perfect. The plot has some holes in it, but not big ones. The plot really is interesting and I am looking forward to where she goes with it. It's my guilty pleasure, you may hate it, but I'm owning up that I love it. Check it out, but realize I'm not saying it's perfect. Who needs perfect all the time anyway. Sometimes things are just good and make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
