A
little romance, a little angst, a little hurt/comfort and lots and lots of Jack
and Daniel. Does it get any better than this? There are no deathfics and only
one story has previously appeared on the web (in a different, gen context — see
description below). Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find in Issue #1:
Perfect
Setting by Circe: When Jack is given the chance to attend a conference of
allies against the Goa'uld he must first drink a potion that will reveal to him
his “true self.” His self-revelation is as welcome to Daniel as it is
surprising to both of them, but when Daniel is kidnapped by an unscrupulous bounty
hunter, Jack has to put his faith in the Tok'ra if he hopes to ever see Daniel
again. A novella.
Tears for the Innocents by babs: Daniel has trouble dealing with
the aftermath of a tragic mission. Jack helps him cope.
Unsuspected by
PhoenixE: While waiting for help to arrive in the
aftermath of a terrible off-world accident Sam learns something about two of
her team members she never suspected.
Go Fish by
Xochiquetzl: Jack. Daniel. Fishing. Beer. Books in
peril.
Slaves by Puff and
Ruffle: Far from home, on the run, separated
from their companions—and a bad case of shared amnesia—leave Jack and Daniel in
a bad situation. When they finally regain their memories, will they be able to
come to terms with the changes in their relationship? A novella.
Change in my Life by Brionhet: The road to true love never did
run smooth. Jack and Daniel hit some rough pavement.
Aschen Nights by
ELG: After Carter has to leave Faxon behind
with the Aschen, Jack muses on all he and his team have lost and all that he and
Daniel have found in one another.
It Never Rains But It Pours by Hapshut: While off-world with another
team, Daniel is forced into some unwelcome interaction with the local
matriarch. Will his subsequent worries impact on his relationship with Jack? (A
different “gen” version of the first part of this story is available on the
internet.)
Payback by Circe: After the events of “Shades of Grey,” Jack and Daniel get drunk and
make up, but end up making out as well. (PWP)
Minnesota by
Brenda and ELG: A brush with death for Jack
leaves Daniel in need of rest and recuperation. Jack makes sure that vacation
comes with a side order of freshly-caught bass and serious TLC.
Perfect Reproduction by Ankh: This story follows on from the
events of season 4 episode, “Double Jeopardy.” When you lose something special
can you really get it back? When you're “a robot” is life and love any less
real?
Homecoming by
Brenda: Jack comes back from a visit to
Washington to a warm welcome…and an archaeologist with a secret.
The Anniversary by ALF: Daniel finds out just how much
Jack cares about him.
The Need to Know by Biblio: Stranded together, Jack and
Daniel find themselves upping the ante in their relationship…
Give by Puff: Daniel is no longer sure of Jack in the aftermath of “Shades of Gray.”
Can Jack regain his trust?
Plus Ca Change by Livengoo: Jack and Daniel needed a change.
They just weren't sure what kind…
Bliss by Brenda and
ELG: After the events of “Seth,” Jack finds
he can no longer conceal his true feelings for Daniel. But a very satisfactory
close encounter in the showers is interrupted by SG-3, and from then on
circumstances seem determined to keep them apart.
And even more stories! Full color cover by Alice.
