Nicely done. This is a grouping that I have trouble buying most of the time, but I didn't hiccup when reading this. You made it entirely plausible for me.

Thanks so much. I probably have some of the same difficulties with the grouping -- not that they don't have a strong bond sans Jack, especially in S8, but just that the threesomes/foursome with Jack are so much more obvious and that the issues, especially the Daniel/Teal'c issues, are so much more apparent. Originally I was planning to set my fic in S8, but eventually decided to set it much earlier and actually confront some of the things that made it so hard to imagine them together, like FiaD. I'm glad it worked for you. :)
