Why This Must Be Read: It's hard for us to imagine an SG-1 who would go to another universe and lie, cheat and steal from an SGC -- that's the central hook that reels us in in Ripple Effect. With Black, CK does a beautiful job of getting inside the black team Daniel's head and how he felt about the mission.
In the end, there is, of course, angst for the black team returning to their Ori-overrun galaxy, with an extra poignant moment for Daniel. But his actions while in "our" universe led to an unexpected gift for our Daniel.
(I betaed this story, which mainly consisted of flailing and saying, "Post it!")
Excerpt:
When the time came and they were suiting up, Daniel put on black. Teal'c came into their ready room and paused to watch him a long, quiet moment. Then he joined Daniel. By the time the representatives of the US Air Force arrived, Daniel and Teal'c were kitted out.
"T, the mission brief calls for desert camo, buddy. 455's a desert planet..."
Daniel stalked out of the room without a backward glance. With a last snick of a weapon being checked, Teal'c followed him. He heard Mitchell swear faintly behind them.
When Mitchell and Sam arrived in the embarkation room, they were all in black. Shadows of themselves.
Teal'c had been surprisingly quiet since the briefing. Daniel thought perhaps Teal'c was even more disturbed by this op than Daniel was.
