I'll have to go back and get inside Daniel's head and examine the Meridian canon, too. He's going to have to explain all his actions and decisions at some point.
heh. One of my current WIPs is an "Orpheus" tag where I try to do exactly that, though for a somewhat different value of "Daniel's actions and decisions", admittedly. It's proving... interesting. And hard. Almost like a conversation after a failed suicide attempt.
As for Jack, you always do well by him in your writing. I really like your take on Jack and the way you handly Jack's VP.
I imagine it was hard for Jack, protecting Bjorn... Sam, Teal'c &co might know Daniel, but the only person who knows quite *what* Jack's just lost is Bjorn. He's the only person Jack could share that with... and yet he *can't* share it.
I think it shows the depth of his love, honour and respect for Daniel, how he can put *Bjorn* first at such a time.
And now I'm wondering whether Jack hated not being able to tell Bjorn that Daniel's gone, but not gone. I think there's a place for another scene between Jack and Bjorn, a little later when it's not so raw. I'm very curious as to where you're going next with this series.
