Why This Must Be Read: Laura gives us sharp, edged, vintage Jack and Daniel in the aftermath of Double Jeopardy. Jack only wants to move on and forget about their dead doubles, but Daniel just won't leave it alone: how to relate to them, how to think of them, how to mourn them. Jack just wants to stop thinking; Daniel won't stop.
This is just so perfectly them, as they circle round and round each other. Blood and Wires is an excellent, thoughtful ending to a tense episode that will only leave you wanting more.
"... in one sense, they could even be considered our children."
Jack's pleased smirk vanished so quickly, it felt like someone had vacuumed it right off his face. "What?!" he choked. His hand hit the edge of a book, and the stack toppled every which way. Jack winced.
"Or our siblings," Daniel went on, oblivious, "or even near-identical reflections of ourselves. We've encountered similar things before, with the quantum mirror." That was different, Jack thought helplessly. "Or I could just be completely over-complicating things."
"Heaven forfend," Jack replied, picking up the fallen books.
