Why This Must Be Read: A year ago, Abyssis offered to write "Five Things" prompts. I asked for "five ways Teal'c and Daniel work their way past Sha're's death."
This eloquent, delicate, heartbreaking story is the result.
I love how it takes slow steps, and a span of four years, to reach the point where both forgiveness is offered and accepted. I love the team's silent support, and Daniel's drunken fury, and the aching beauty of that first anniversary. I love Teal'c's voice in this, and the gentle click of the full-circle ending to it all.
Lovely, lovely stuff. Read this one carefully, and savor.
Teal'c is roused from Kel'noreem as Daniel Jackson exits the tent. He waits thirty minutes and leaves himself, following the footprints to find his friend sitting on a sand dune - silvery moonlight washing out the shadows from beneath his eyes.
Teal'c joins him, sitting quietly for a long time before finally speaking. "Tell me of Sha're."
Daniel Jackson removes his glasses, rubs his eyes, then leans back on his hands. Finally he begins to speak and for the rest of the night it is as if Sha're is sitting with them - rebelling against a false god, learning to read and write, laughing at Daniel Jackson as he tries to weave a sleeping mat, and filling the night with her presence and spirit and warmth. The illusion shimmers away as the sun rises and the heat of the day begins to grow.
Walking back to their tent, Teal'c thinks Daniel Jackson may be standing a little bit straighter. He mourns for what his friend has lost, but a small part of him knows that without that loss Teal'c himself would still be First Prime to a false god. With the strength of Sha're's spirit on their side, Teal'c is more certain that one day the Goa'uld will fall.
