Such lovely angst. I don't see many stories from Sam's POV but this one is just wonderful.

You can see they are good friends despite the distance that appears between them from time to time. Very nicely written.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Oh. Beautifully written, and beautifully heartbreaking.

Best line: The hard muscles pressed tightly against her rigid body are an unwanted reminder of just how different this Daniel is from the man she met in an alien pyramid seven long years ago.

Daniel’s always been fit, but once upon a time, he’d been all lanky limbs. Nowadays he’s ripped, well-defined muscles adding bulk to what were once gangly arms and legs.

It’s like a physical manifestation of the hardness inside him now.

Yes, and OW. Because much as I love Daniel, there was so much that made me unhappy about the (logical, but still painful) direction he took in later seasons.

Great stuff!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

I'm with you on Daniel in the later seasons... I love him and I understand why his character developed the way he did, but it still tugs on my heartstrings to watch the early seasons and remember just how much he changed over the course of the show.

I did say I liked this, right? :)

You did, but I certainly don't mind you repeating yourself. ;) Thank you for such a lovely rec. I really appreciate it!

I liked this, it was so easy to see all the changes Daniel went though for the audience, it's nice to see how one of his teammates might be feeling about it. Wonderful job!

Poor Daniel!

fridayschild85 September 14 2011, 23:20:24 UTC

Poor all of them, really. I think the changes in Daniel are the most glaring because there's a whole season worth of character development that we miss out on seeing, but they all break my heart a little when I compare the first season with later ones.

Thanks for reading! :)
