Why This Must Be Read: In this lovely friendship fic, Jack and Daniel sit and talk over a game of chess sometime in Season Seven. There's one little twist, though: this isn't Colonel Jack O'Neill, but his clone from Fragile Balance.

Over the course of their conversation, we recognize that Daniel's close friendship with Jack hasn't changed, despite the huge differences in their lives. There's great Jack and Daniel banter and humor, of course. But there's also insight and understanding, and the quiet undercurrent of pain from two people who aren't quite what they were and never can be again.

Any Tallulah Rasa fic is sure to be a pleasure, and this one is no exception.
