Why This Must Be Read: This haunting, elegant fic, set within the final scenes of the movie, touches upon Daniel and Sha'uri determining their future, but is mostly about Sha'uri and Jack.

Abyssis' intelligent, intuitive version of Sha'uri is wise enough to sense the darkness that lingers around her new husband's friend, and she worries that he needs something to act as his anchor. There is lovely backstory, and dreamy culture-building, and the pain of a quiet full circle, as the gift that was given to assauge one death is returned to help share in the grief of another.

This story will break your heart. And then you'll want to read it all over again.
