Why This Must Be Read: Is there anything more heartbreaking than Moebius? Daniel is trapped in Ancient Egypt with a Sam and Jack and Teal'c that are not the people he knew, and AU Teal'c fights for a future which he has never known, and will never get the chance to see. And in Singing Down the Moon, Butterfly lovingly paints a vivid scene from Teal'c's POV, as he asks Daniel, in the aftermath of their victory over Ra, to help him die.

Elegant and elegiac, Teal'c watches Daniel, comparing him with the Daniel he himself killed. He listens to the velvet voice that bespeaks the bright and shining future that neither one will get to enjoy. And he takes comfort in a strength that they both share, in their unwavering convictions.

Beautifullly wrenching. You will remember this one for a long time to come.
