Why this must be read:
Because it's so freaking good. I just reread it to think about what I'd say, and I get to lines like these...
They paused at the edge of the woods, and Jack stared out at the cabin, and the two figures of their friends, who were now sprawled out in the snow, panting. Well, Carter was panting. Teal'c was just sort of laying there in that zen way that he had.
and
Daniel and Carter both looked up from their meals and gave him puzzled expressions, and he thought that his love for them might actually be dangerous because it made his heart hurt. He felt like it might swell right out of his chest, cartoon-style.
Which really, just make me love the story that much more.
It's in the style of the "oops, the earth is broken and we must go somewhere else" type story, but doesn't make any bones about attempting to tell you what might be wrong with the earth, which is a very clever way of letting you imagine anything you want while concentrating on the important aspects of the story, like how the characters are going to react to the broken earth. Reacting to the breaking instead of trying to fix it.
They're very much them while they're somewhere else and it's very good.

Jack sighed and whipped his knit cap off his head just so he'd have something to do with his hands.
Which was so very Jack.
Good call :)

I love the little moments that make this story. It's one of my favorites, as you can see. :)
