Why This Must Be Read: This splendid fic is classic Tallulah Rasa: the quirkiness of Jack and Daniel banter with the underlying, almost unspoken depth of their mutual understanding. This is the kind of futurefic I love -- lives well lived and (if not complete satisfaction) a peaceful acceptance of where they've been and where they're going.
Absolutely, positively guaranteed to make you smile. Go enjoy!
"You're a snake head!" one of the smaller kids yelled at one of the bigger ones, and Jack raised an eyebrow at Daniel, who shook his head.
"Documentary on boa constrictors on the Discovery Channel," Daniel explained.
"Ah," Jack said. "Of course."
"Well, you're a… a Borg!" a voice countered, no less commanding for being high-pitched and obviously pre-pubescent. "And you live on a Death Star!"
"Long, rainy weekend with Teal'c," Daniel offered, though that time Jack needed no explanation.
The first kid, suffering a palpable hit, began to wail, and her mother hustled her into the house.
"I suppose," Jack mused, "that if you know the Gate and the Goa'uld are real, Star Wars and Star Trek seem like documentaries."
"Also Farscape," Daniel said in a tone suggesting he'd done a study. "But not Buffy 0r the original Battlestar Galactica."
"Someone should write a paper," Jack said seriously, and even in the growing darkness he could see Daniel's fleeting grin.
