Why This Must Be Read: This five things of loss is powerful and achy and so perfectly Jack, from flying to Charlie to Daniel to losing his team and the Stargate. Add a sucker punch of AU apocafic for a grand finale, and you'll fall in love all over again with Jack for his toughness and tenacity in the face of so much heartache.
The Stargate he gives up, for, oh, so many reasons. Because being offered another unlikely promotion so soon after the first is flattering. Because he really can do more for the program from Washington. Because George Hammond tells him it's a good idea. Because if he has to fly a desk, it might as well be a shiny one in a big office with a window and a nice view.
Because maybe if he doesn't have to see it every day he won't miss it so much.
