Why This Must Be Read:
This quiet little fic, set "season two-ish", takes one logical implication of canon and develops it with careful, restrained grace into something so necessary and right that you can't think how it wasn't obvious before.
Jack says, "Do you think--" and then stops. Looks down at the gun, turns it over in his hands. He makes a motion as if he meant to holster it, but his hands tighten on the weapon, and Daniel thinks again about the half-outlined paper he's never going to write, regarding the degree of emotional security military personnel derive from going armed. "I was thinking about that quantum mirror thingy," he says quietly.
Thingy, like that will stop Daniel from noticing that he remembers the correct name, and probably at least as much as Daniel does about what Sam thinks it means. He looks down at his sidearm again, and he's awake in the night. Daniel says, "Yeah?" like he doesn't know where this is going.
