Loki's Curse by Jonah in the Whale (NC-17)
Fandom: STARGATE SG1
Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: n/a
Why this must be read:
A long, plotty, character driven story that deals with both Daniel's descension and Jack's mini-me clone. The author does an amazing job of weaving several plot threads throughout the story as well as keeping everyone in character. Apparently, Jack wasn't the only one Loki experimented on, nor was there only one flaw in the clone's design. As the team races to save the clones, Jack struggles with how to deal with Daniel's loss of memory and how it impacts their friendship.
Jack would push too far to recapture a shared experience, and discover that Daniel didn't remember. Sometimes big things, usually small stupid things, but each time it happened he found it hard to resist examining Daniel, noting his stance and expression and gestures, trying to insist to himself that this was really *their* Daniel at the core, and not someone fundamentally unknown to him.

How much did a person need to remember of you, in order to stay your friend? If they remembered you only part-way, did the things they didn't remember not count anymore?
Worse, he was beginning to think even flakier stuff, such as; did people have an essence, or was memory essential to everything that made up a person?
