Why this must be read:
I love Teal'c fic where he's navigating Earth culture, especially fic that does so without falling into caricature of him as a fish out of water or too-easy pratfall humor. This is an excellent look at Teal'c immersing himself in the stories of his new home, in the compelling context of the stories of his life before SG-1.
"Yes," Janet agreed, twinkling. "They've taken some liberties with the text."
To take liberty, Teal'c thought. Janet was still talking about the length of the original play, how it would have been shown in Shakespeare's time, and other productions Janet had seen. "Right after Star Wars came out, I saw one at the community college where the fairies all had lightsabers," she told Cassie, who couldn't decide whether to respond with giggles or disdain.
Teal'c thought of the Most Glorious Tales of the Divine Court of Apophis, which never changed, even in inflection. He thought of Colonel O'Neill standing before a system lord and saying nothing but, "O most powerfulest one," and causing not satisfaction, but sore offense. He thought of Sha're of Abydos, as Daniel Jackson had described her.
