Why this must be read:

Mara is someone I believe who doesn't write nearly enough Stargate fanfiction because she absolutely rules when she does. She has an amazing grasp on the characters and uses it quite deftly and in "Crazy Like A Fox" she gives us a damn good look at Jack O'Neill's most infuriating habit. Pretending to be dumb and, in a perfectly brilliant move, she uses Cassandra to do it.

It's post "Rite of Passage" and during a visit to Jack's house, Cassie and he have a positively enlightening discussion and Mara handles it with the usual amazing skill that makes this story - and the rest of her Stargate stories - a must read.

::hugs medie:: Thank you for the lovely compliments :)

This fic was a kind of present for my beta, Captain Average, who was annoyed by Stupid!Jack.

You're quite welcome!

and bwah! I hear that. It's his most aggravating habit.

I muchly enjoyed reading this fic - I think people often overlook Jack's intelligence, which he's displayed on more than one occasion. I think it's just because Stupid!Jack is more obvious when surrounded by geniuses *g*

Thanks for the rec ;)

Can't wait to read this, and will scuttle off to load it up to my pda before I leave work.

I think Jack uses this "dumb ol' me" routine like Br'er Rabbit.

Scuttling now....

Hmm, when I clicked on the link I got the 18th chapter of an Enterprise story. Mara must have rearranged her site. The new link to Crazy Like a Fox is: http://mara.ink-and-quill.com/viewstory.php?sid=83&PHPSESSID=62acea0d02303172cd96da4a18eaf350
