Why this must be read:
Absolute Power gave fic writers another Stargate-verse to play in, but the focus in stories is usually on post-'blowing up Moscow'. This one, however, takes place much earlier in the episode's timeline and shows the fracturing of the relationship between Jack and Daniel. Both Jack and Daniel are very much themselves - both Jack from his point-of-view and Daniel's voice - and his perceptions - which are just the right degree of off-normal that fits in with the episode.
And there's are neat cameo appearance by Shifu - along with appropriately cryptic remark.
“Daniel!” barked Jack, and finally got the man’s attention. He didn’t want to know if Daniel actually thought that all it would take was a word from him, and the United States military would completely rewrite its policies on homosexuality. Worse, he didn’t want to find out that it might actually be true. He knew what a hard-on the Pentagon had for the big guns that Daniel had promised. But, no – Daniel was valuable to them, but not that valuable. Only in Daniel’s own head did he wield that much power. What scared Jack was the way the line seemed to be blurring for Daniel, how he seemed to think that they were all there living in the world inside his head, right along with him.
