Q&A
Jack scrubs an agitated hand through his hair. “What exactly do you want?”
It isn’t the first time he’s asked that question. The first time, the answer was, “You,” and a thrill skittered down Jack’s spine at the heat in Daniel’s eyes.
After Daniel descended the answer was, “Us,” and Jack knew he meant more to Daniel than he’d realized. Daniel wanted to recapture what they’d been to each other. Jack was something more than an object or an outlet or a project. Maybe one day he’d learn exactly what he was to Daniel. Maybe Daniel would even tell him.
Maybe pigs will fly.
Now, standing in Jack’s kitchen, Daniel’s answer is, “I want you to take the Washington job.”
Daniel never interferes in Jack’s career. Jack doesn’t need his permission to accept a promotion.
This is Daniel sending him away.
“So, it’s over?”
Daniel steps in close, eyes glittering. He slides his hand around Jack’s throat and applies mild pressure. “It’s not over unless I say it’s over.”
Jack feels arousal swirl, low in his belly. He takes in a breath through his nose and smells Daniel’s aftershave, the one Jack gave him last birthday. He shudders and begins to harden. “Okay. Just checking.” He licks his lips. Waits.
Daniel’s hand tightens. “It’s never going to be over, Jack. Just so you know.” He releases his grip. His hand moves to Jack’s shoulder, fingers tapping.
Jack hurries to reply, letting all his relief show in his face and eyes. “That’s good to know.” And if Daniel wants to read love into that….
“I’d keep you here if we didn’t need you there.” Daniel pulls him in tight, speaks gruffly into his ear. “I’ll miss you.”
“Likewise,” Jack gasps, as his hips begin to grind out his impossible, uncontrollable need.

Reader's Tip: Do not click on this while 'listening' to your teenager rattle on about, well, about anything teenagers tend to rattle on about.
Just don't.

Just because it feels as if no matter what Jack and Daniel are to each other, and that's obvious a great deal, SG-1 is a greater part of them because it encompasses both of them, their past.
(i really hopes that makes sense)

So glad you liked this, and especially that line. :-)

Oh my my my.
“It’s not over unless I say it’s over.”
That's just perfect. B/c while they're equal partners in their relationship, Jack's the one that's worried the most about appearances and he doesn't even want to give the appearance, even to himself and Daniel, that he's running roughshod over Daniel at all. And Daniel, while not wanting to hurt Jack or Lord over him, has no such hesitance (for lack of a better word).
mmhmm. like I said. perfect.

So glad you enjoyed it, and that it answered the question of why Jack would ever leave. :-)

(If I had a few more words to play with, Daniel's hands could have been on Jack's hips.... *eg*)

I read it twice. I had too. All dominant Daniel, then he kinda collapses with his, "I'll miss you". Oy.
*quivers* Oh. My.
I wanna know!!! Tell, tell!
no subject
Talk to Daniel, kiddo. He hasn't told me any secrets. *pouts*
Glad you enjoyed!

My fandom is all good....

And then, at the end, Daniel's cryptic way to say that he loves him - and Jack's immediate reaction of his body to this.
Perfect! I love every line of it.

Lovely fb, thank you! :-)

puppies-and-rainbowsD/s. It scared me a little! I was afraid it would come across as something ugly, rather than just fucked-up. *whew*(*giggles*)
no subject
I suppose it would seem ugly to someone who doesn't 'get' D/s -- it would have freaked me out completely not that many years ago. (I'm remembering a friend of mine who defines edgeplay as anything that "an ordinary person, on seeing it, would immediately want to beat the crap out of whoever's doing it".) (Then he looks at me and tries to make me feel guilty.)

And neither of them are really talking to me, any more than they do to each other, so I'm left wondering which way Jack was leaning before Daniel stated his wishes. Hmm.
Very glad you liked it!
no subject
Oh, and so happy to see you use that icon! :-)
no subject
No, I don't sit and try to actually talk to the characters. I have no idea if that would work for me or not, although it sounds like it would be a very interesting process. But things sometimes come out in the course of writing, as you are saying. Only this time around nothing but secrets came out. *shakes Jack and Daniel hard* Still nothing. *g*
