Wow, very powerful.

Thanks. I'm glad it resonated with you.

I have such a glasses kink (particularly with Jack wearing glasses), and the idea of Daniel slipping his glasses on Jack just seemed so incredibly intimate. Hell, Jack taking off Daniel's glasses in the episode is pretty intimate. When I got the prompt for that episode and "power" I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

For me, the only believable early-season fics address Sha're, and I kind of love Daniel/Sha're, so I really enjoyed writing this.

I'm glad everything was so visceral for you. I try so hard to write as vividly as possible, so I love it when people can see what I'm writing.

Thanks for the lovely comment!

ok, I went back to the original post and I think either I missed it (srsly, I remember reading it! *is confused*) or I read it at a time when I could not construct a proper thought to tell you how much I really really liked this. I am the angst-whore, so if it makes my heart ache, you know it works for me! Love love love how he puts the glasses on Jack. so much symbolism there. wow.

again, I am so sorry I do not seem to have commented in the first place...sheesh!

Y'know, I knew this one worked, so it didn't bother me that you hadn't replied. ;)

It's a good thing you like angst if you're reading my fics; I tend to make characters suffer. *cringes* (And if they're not suffering emotionally, they're suffering humiliation.)

Thank you for the lovely prompt. I usually don't write early-season fic (because of the whole Sha're-thing), so it was fun to waggle my toes in that water again. (Though this is more or less the exact same set up as another Season 2 fic of mine. Heh.)

Whoa! Excellent. Very convincing way of dealing with early-seasons J/D -- no dodging, no excuses, letting it be as painful and honest as it should be. Also, I loves me a forthright, strong, pushy Daniel. Great job!

Thank you. I don't think Jack would let himself be fooled. He lost his marriage and I believe the last thing he'd want to do is contribute to the break-up of another marriage. However, you have that much hot archaeologist coming on to you? Well, after you've laid everything out and he's made his decision, how can you resist? ;)
