It's the Jack/Daniel Three Little Words 'Thon!

All right, everybody, let's get started! This 'thon is all about saying, "I love you." Or not being able to say it. Or showing it in a myriad of ways. It's about perfect pictures and lovely vids, quotes from fic (link us, please!) and brand new fic (we hope!)

Post in comments here, or post elsewhere and give us all a link.

Everyone is welcome to the party, so feel free to invite all your Jack/Daniel-loving friends!

The 'thon runs through the end of Monday, assuming [personal profile] jdjunkie and I don't collapse earlier from the sheer weight of all the squee. :-)/:-)

Excerpt from Salieri's 'Context'

[personal profile] paian 2012-03-05 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I hesitated in posting this even after I grabbed the text, because this is the gut-rippingest moment of a gut-ripping fic, but it's an extraordinary fic and the excerpt on its own is (of course; it's Salieri) beautiful and beautifully in-character.

Jack kept his back to the 'gate and watched Daniel dial home instead. Daniel was back-lit by the setting sun so that his outline enclosed a blankness and his shadow folded, sharply-etched, over the DHD and onto the polished stone of the 'gate platform. Then there was that familiar plunging rumble behind Jack as the 'gate billowed open, and Daniel's shadow split into three, four, wavering and shimmering in all directions around his feet as he came to climb up the stairs.

Just in front of the event horizon, Daniel stopped him, squeezed his arm tightly, then raised his hand to rest on the side of Jack's face. His eyes were still too blue, too steady.

Leaning in, Daniel kissed him slowly, opened him and breathed into him. "I love you," he said against Jack's lips, and Jack's gut twisted.

"Daniel," Jack said, his voice low, suspicious, his fingers fisted in the sleeve of Daniel's jacket. "What did you do?" He jerked away from Daniel's attempt to kiss him again, but didn't let him go. "I swear, Daniel, if I walk out the other side and you're not with me I will find my way back here and fucking kill you myself."

Surprisingly, Daniel laughed. "You know, you could just say 'I love you, too.'"

Jack stared at him for a long time, watching the 'gate's glow reshape his features, shadows and liquid light playing across the suddenly unfamiliar planes of cheek and forehead. While Daniel waited patiently, the smile faded from his lips but stayed in his eyes. "Okay," Jack conceded, grudgingly. "And I love you, too."

Turning, they stepped through the 'gate, Jack's fist still clenched in Daniel's sleeve.

You know that 'Ah, Bach' line from M*A*S*H?

Ahhhhh, Salieri.

Beautiful, indeed. Such skill, incorporating the play of the event horizon's light into what Jack sees when he looks at Daniel.

Jack's fist still clenched in Daniel's sleeve.

Don't ever let go!

Isn't that description gorgeous? Visually and verbally striking, and symbolically and thematically loaded. ::fancreatures Sal liek woah::

Oooh! That was good. I'd love to read the rest of the fic. Tried to click on the link but it won't take me anywhere. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for posting, paian.

The main page of her website is http://salieri.bonuspoints.net, and you can also go to [livejournal.com profile] troyswann and click on her fic tag. Every one of her fics is a thing of beauty, and you're in for a treat!

Oh, thanks, paian. I tried to find it by clicking troyswann, but must have done something wrong there, too.

Thanks again.

I don't think LJ is functioning very well at the moment, so it wasn't anything you did wrong.

Re: Excerpt from Salieri's 'Context'

[personal profile] freyasboy 2012-03-06 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you're right there, too. Tried both links and can't get in. I'll leave it and try again later or tomorrow!!

I hope you were eventually able to read!

Oh yes, thank you, paian.

I eventually found it. Haven't had time to read yet though, but it IS bookmarked.
