Why this must be read:

This was written for me for

sg1_jubilee last year; even above how much I like it because it was written in response to what I wanted, it's still a great fic.

This is kind of like the anti-off-world cliche fic, only nowhere near as cracked out as that sounds. SG1 get captured, then escape, and everything seems to be going fine except... not so much. There's head injuries, ankle injuries, Strategic Body Heat Preservation (not cuddling!), a near escape through the gate that... isn't... and then a really cool twist at the end. All of this along with Daniel and Cam and their usual snarky sort-of friendship.

Daniel exhaled loudly and adjusted his body so the injured foot was out in front of him. “Don’t take this the wrong way,” he murmured, “but I wish you were Sam or Vala.”

“Likewise,” Cameron retorted. “I could carry you a hell of a lot further.”

“They could use the Gou’ald healing device on my foot,” Jackson said.

“You have one?” Cam asked. The damn Winepago had stripped him of everything but his clothes.

“No,” Jackson said, after a moment.

“Hey,” Cam said, leaning into Jackson so his lips were almost against the man’s cheek. “At least your virtue is safe with me.”

This, at least, got a dull chuckle out of Jackson. “I’m not sure I could fight Vala off in this condition,” he admitted.
