Stealing Minnesota by Biblio (NC-17)
Fandom: STARGATE SG-1
Author website: JD Divas
Author on lj: n/a
Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Rating: NC-17
Why this must be read:
Before I started doing the recs for SG-1, I had a look at what had been recced already and I was surprised that no one had recced anything by Biblio, who is one of the best writers in this particular pairing and one of my top five fanfic writers of all.
Biblio's peculiar strength is in first time fic, of which Stealing Minnesota is possibly the best. There's an astonishingly quiet quality to this story which deals with Jack and Daniel spending a week at Jack's cabin in Minnesota. Daniel is quietly and pogniantly hopelessly in love with Jack but he doesn't just hang around and pine - the characterisation is wonderfully snarky at times and the road to true love is bumpy and, um, has Jack in it.
This is a gorgeous story. The quality of the writing and the characterisation is very high and Biblio's confidence with the characters, the fandom and the emotions/relationship shows through every line. Whether SG-1 is one of your fandoms or not, I cannot recommend this highly enough. Something to read, reread and treasure.
It hadn't even crossed Jack's mind his beloved best bud wanted to hump him through the wall every time he laid eyes on him, Viagraed up or not. Daniel was
always up where Jack was concerned! He wondered whether Jack had ever figured out his dear old parents had to have done it at least once, if he couldn't even face the fact his archaeologist did it and in fact loved doing it. If Jack ever had to face the fact his archaeologist wanted to do him, he'd probably drop on the spot. Which begged the question. What exactly was he to Jack? Eunuch Boy?
Right after that insulting realisation, it also occurred to him that Jack had just assumed he'd done this damned stupid thing despite his track record with mind-altering substances of every kind. Including Jack's tuna casserole. Jack had leaped to the wrong conclusion and barrelled in as always to rescue Daniel, his closest friend and confidant. It hadn't even crossed his mind to check with Daniel if he needed rescuing. Zero to impossibly pissy and
overprotective in sixty seconds. Or less. He had no objectivity at all where Daniel was concerned. He didn't even notice that he hadn't freed Daniel's hand, even though Daniel had emphatically not budged an inch.
He was not about to allow Jack to drag him by the hand back to the Stargate like a naughty child. Daniel had to tug his hand away. This was why - exactly why Jack O'Neill was his dearest friend, and not his lover.
They were going to Minnesota in two days' time. Fishing. Though he'd die at the stake before admitting it, Daniel knew his friend well enough to know that Jack was happy and excited, looking forward to having Daniel's undivided attention in his most favourite place in the world. Daniel was dreading it. The last time they'd been up at the cabin, he'd tumbled into that big bed with Jack and not given it a moment's thought. Now he wanted to lick the sweat from Jack's shoulder as they made love.
It was maddening to have the man so close to him, closer to him than to anyone else in the history of ever, to have Jack loving him and needing him so much as a friend he would never, could never, fall in love with him and be his lover. Daniel couldn't stand it. He loved Jack too, and he would never, could never hurt him.
He found it easy to hurt himself. Easier every day.
