Hi! I wanted to let you know that I've just recced your very intriguing AU over at stargateficrec.

Also, you're the first author I've seen who posts faster at FF.net than on LJ. :)

I'm looking forward to reading more of this!

Thanks for the rec! I actually got into the SG-1 fandom pretty recently, and partially after reading some of your fanon vs. canon meta, so I'm happy to hear from you :)

And I'm still getting used to LJ, so ff.net is easier for me to work with. But I'm working on it!

Oh, that's funny. :)

LJ is such a lovely corner of the fandom! You'll find it indispensable, after a while.

Well, this story had two strikes against it for me initially. I don't read WIP and I don't care for AU. But Fig rec'd it so I decided to go out on a limb and read it. I'm glad I did because it's marvelous.

My main complaints with AU's is that my favorite characters are unrecognizable. But I can picture this Daniel, so hurt, so scared, so vulnerable, yet trying to convince everyone he is an adult who can, and should, participate in decisions about his life. Jack is perfect, too, also hurting but trying to put that aside and help this child.

But my very favorite parts are the Daniel/Teal'c scenes. They are so quietly powerful, so compelling that I did something with this fic that I've only ever done once before. When I finished reading it, I went back and started all over again.

Great, great job! And I cannot wait for more of this mesmerizing story.

That's quite a compliment! Thanks for giving it a chance, and I hope you continue to enjoy it. Daniel/Teal'c is one of my favorite friendships to explore, and while their scenes aren't as numerous or long as Daniel/Jack ones, to me, they're just as important.

Thanks for the comment!

Well, I've just found the rec for this on stargateficrec and I'm very intrigued. Will have to bookmark it for another time when I can dedicate my attention fully, because it sounds like I may want to try and read it in as close to one shot as possible. Something to look foward to on a free day. :)

[night_spear1287]

Well, I do hope you enjoy it :)
