The Hanged Man by Maayan
Fandom: STARGATE SG-!
Pairing: Jack/ Daniel but a little bit of Sam/Daniel and Teal'c/Daniel implied.

Why this must be read: I find it difficult to talk about this story without feeling the need to make large hand gestures. This is truly a remarkable story. I think there's a tendencey in fandom - if not every where else - to think that sex-centred stories are somehow devoid of plot/ meaning/ insight/ impact/ etc and this story shows how short-sighted that myth is, and how fraught with meaning sex really is. It's about sex as more than attraction, more than love, more than intimacy and desire, and how fucked up it all is. I don't care what pairing you're into, or whether you even get into slash at all, read it because it's a complete mind-fuck, and I think it's quite possibly the most powerful writing the fandom has ever produced.

Agreed. I thought it was Daniel in three dimensions - the kind of complexity you can't portray in a television show but would surely have to be there.
I loved this story. I just did. The way it was writen drew me in... it's plot kept me.
I'm pleased to hear it. It's an excellent story and definitely worthy of accolades.
