Downtime, by Merry (G)
Show: SG-1
Rec Category: Jack/Daniel
Characters: Jack and Daniel, Team, Narim, Original Alien
Pairings: Jack/Daniel, Sam/Narim
Categories: Slash (actually what this story is, we used to call preslash.), Humor, Mission
Warnings: NONE
Author's Journal: Merryish on LJ (I don't use LJ any more so I do not know if this is current
Author's Website: Unknown
Web Archive Link: Downtime
Why This Must Be Read:
This is a totally non-explicit Jack Loves Daniel fic, suitable for all audiences. I am still totally in love with this fic.
In rereading it to make this rec, I was struck by the importance of the narrative voice. Merry writes a very understated and humorous Jack, and this is her Jack in a very mellow mood. Her take on Jack's voice is what makes this story work. If you love Jack as a character and believe that Jack/Daniel is in any way plausible, you will enjoy this story.
It's an offworld mission involving a hilarious alien, rain, the Tollans (yay), all told from a gorgeous Jack POV, and the spine of the story is Jack getting to hang with Daniel. That's it. But it's so gorgeously told -- like Merry is lovingly sifting through her treasure box of SG-1 goodness and telling the old, old story again, once again, just for us. This story will cheer you up if you are down.

And thank you for your kind words about my stories! I totally fell in love with Jack/Daniel. Over ten years ago now.

I have made more J/D recs over the last couple of months -- if you scroll back using the jack/daniel tag you will see that they are the first ones.
I also have a big J/D rec list that is linked on the User Info page of my DW journal.
Hope you find stuff to enjoy! There's a ton of it! I am happy to suggest things if I know what you like.
