Why this must be read: - After the press conference, Blair leaves Cascade, deciding to visit a man he has reason to believe is his father - Jack O'Neill.

I've never been fond of crossovers in general; for me they often don't quite mesh in time and space, though I find TS/SG1 ones mostly work. I do like this one, which is a clever handling of the themes of a) who is Blair's father and b) what is a realistic follow-up to the press conference going to be? The story moves well, covers a lot of ground, and unlike many crossovers deals with both sets of characters pretty well equally. There has been some deliberate misinformation given to the characters in the past and there are some misunderstandings in the present, while the resolution is highly satisfactory.
