Fic: Of Silence Ache by Cowardly Lion

[chattycatsmeow]

Set any time with no spoilers, this slash fic features Jack and Daniel as an established couple.  This is one of my more dramatic pieces, not so light and fluffy.  Rated PG and clocking in at 2,515 words and no warnings.  Many thanks to my ever essential beta Mare.

Synopsis:  Far from home, Jack and Daniel come to a decision about their future.

This is so nice. I love Daniel considering what approach to take with Jack, sort of like he's a skittish animal or something. Beautiful picture of them sitting there in cloaks and long hair (Jack's with feather!) -- gone native. They're at their best working on a problem and arriving at an agreement even though they approach it from different viewpoints. The hope at the end. Lovely.

Makes me want to read more of them in this universe.

The longer you're in a relationship the more conversational landmines there are to navigate. You have to plot the right course or you could get blown out of the water. :D

I had a kind of LOTR'ish vision of the fellas in their new world.

Gotta have hope!!!

Me too! :D

Oh, really liked that one. I could imagine the quiet atmosphere outside of the gathering, and it hurt to see Jack struggling with how he feels. And I like how Daniel is tentative in his approach while he tries to be encouraging. Very cool fic.

I'm glad that came through. I tried to be subtle, but still show it.

And I like how Daniel is tentative in his approach while he tries to be encouraging.

It's hard to be supportive of your partner when you're struggling with issues of your own.

Very cool fic.

Thanks!

Glad you liked it! Maybe the Muse will bring me another story set in the same place.

Oh wow! That was great.
Thanks!

I want to know what happened!
Me too!

How'd they end up there?
I have NO idea! :D

How long have they been there?
Ummmm...3 to 5 years?

And how many kids to they end up fathering?
A LOT! They're very popular and get a LOT of invitations. :D

Hee :)
Indeed. ;)

Nicely done. You told just enough about their circumstances to know that they've been there awhile, but not enough not to have us wanting to know more.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! It's a fine line to walk with giving *just enough* information. Good to know I got it right! :D
