Why This Must Be Read: The friendship between Jack and Daniel is so complex, so beyond normal understanding, that it’s almost impossible to define. Call it a soul-deep affection, perhaps. So what happens when the people around them mistake that deep friendship and make an assumption – an assumption that, in fact, isn’t remotely based in fact at all?
Set in Season Nine and written with gentle, charming warmth, Not With a Bang is the story of Daniel’s discovery of how their friends have been watching their six all along, even if they didn’t actually need defending. If you love the depth of Jack and Daniel’s friendship, but prefer the focus of that friendship to be strictly gen, then this tender little story – complete with the sweetness of Jack and Daniel’s final exchange – is definitely for you.
