Why This Must Be Read: Destina gives Jack marvelous voice here, as he fiercely clings to that long-distance connection with his team after moving to Washington, keeping his finger on their pulses and knowing when he needs to be there for them.
We are first treated to a powerful episode tag to Prototype, with Jack and Daniel's shorthand communication that speaks volumes in understanding and pain. Then it shifts to Jack and Teal'c in the wake of Stronghold, and you'll find your breath taken away by the sheer depth and breadth of their friendship: the memories of shattering experiences shared and eased, the bond of warriors and leaders, and the challenge of those with whom they serve and whom they must inspire.
And the few paragraphs on post-Abyss will leave you gasping.
Magnificent prose, an almost intimate understanding, and stellar characterization: it's all here, and it's all marvelous.
