Why This Must Be Read: This short, thoughtful piece, told entirely in Daniel's POV, is a wonderful slice of time after Fallen and Homecoming. Daniel, still uncertain of his abilities and place in the SGC, can't quite figure out Jack. But in the end, with a lovely insight that says so much about their friendship, Daniel finally realizes that the why is much more important than the how... and that for the time being, that's more than enough.
