Why Don't You Stay? by Pepe (NC17)
Fandom: Stargate SG1
Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Author on LJ:
Author Website: Pepe's Place
Why this must be read: I love pepe's Jack & Daniel. Especially in this fic. They're fucked up and hurting and oh so real. I could totally believe in a Stargate where her version of the SG characters live.
In this fic, Jack and Daniel are estranged. And since Jack caused the separation, it is up to him to try to breach the ever widening gap between him and Daniel, his once closest friend.
"Please, Danny."
I haven't called him Danny in a very long time. It caught both of us off-guard. I thought he was going to cry. I really did. He slumped onto the bench and just sat there for a few minutes, fiddling with his long fingers and trying to get a grip on himself. I had no idea me calling him that affected him so much.
"Danny?" he asked slowly, looking up at me - his eyes blinking unsurely behind his glasses.
I swallowed and nodded, impossibly moved by the look on his face. There was pain there and longing… and hope. That was what hurt me the most… that he should still hope there could be some sort of friendship between us. It finally drove home to me how very much I fucked things up between us when I told him there were no foundations to our friendship. Jesus.
I'm a fucking asshole.
Doctor Daniel Jackson was the best friend I ever had and I fucked it all up because I wouldn't deal with the fact I needed him in my life. That I still DO need him.
Many fics go this route -- Jack closeted or in denial, Daniel left behind or left in the cold, both suffering in the process until one breaks down and gives in to the emotion. But what I like about this is that the author makes me believe in what is happening. I love the angst and pain both men go through but I also love the wonder and beauty as they finally realize and consummate their love for one another
So why dont you stay and read Why Don't You Stay? You won't regret it.
P.S. Thanks to a very sharp Stargate fan, I realized that I may have written something that could be misunderstood, like s/he had. Anyway, I edited it so there will be no misunderstanding (this is what I get, for writing while being distracted by the season 2 premiere of the OC).
