Why This Must Be Read: Full and utterly gleeful disclaimer: this is a brand new Tallulah Rasa fic, and she wrote it for me for the sg1teamficathon! Expect shameless squeeing ahead. :)

 

By Ear is something I thought was no longer possible: a fresh take on an episode tag for Shades of Grey. Jack rejects all of Hammond’s suggestions for team-building or MacKenzie sessions, and takes his team on a supposedly quiet, peaceful mission instead. Naturally, within seconds of going through the Gate, the team finds themselves separated from one another.

 

What follows is a fascinating exercise in aural bonding, as the team coordinates through their radios and Jack makes the uncomfortable discovery that his kids have managed to become a seamless unit in his absence. There’s delightful snark and lovely characterization, and twist upon twist, and teamy goodness, and Jack finding his place once again - and all of it in Tallulah Rasa’s marvelous style. Go and read this one. You’ll be glad that you did!
