I wrote this about 36 hours ago.  I'm convinced now that I'll never think of a title.  So here it is:

VIGIL

The increasing noise woke Jack from his restless sleep.
 
Daniel put out a hand to stop him sitting up. “It’s okay,” he soothed. “It’s just thunder.”
 
Jack dabbed at his upper lip. “I’m hot.”
 
“I know. The rain will come soon and cool things down.”
 
There was a bright flash. “Lightning,” Jack murmured before slipping back into morphine-induced slumber.
 
Daniel listened to the rumbling and booming as the battle approached ever nearer. The night sky lit up. He crouched over his wounded friend protectively and prayed that Sam and Teal’c had made it through. 

That rescue would come in time.

~~~

def: a watch formerly kept on the night before a religious feast with prayer or other devotions.

Tossing coins is a well-respected ritual in this culture. ;-)

Lovely. Says so much. Okay, I'm cheating on them with McShep, but J/D is still SG1OTP. :o)

How about "Eye of the Storm."

You think this might be the catalyst that drives Daniel to declare himself?

Of course it is! I'll wait; I'm good at that. ;-)

You're most welcome. :-) Tis true! I could see them sitting there and hear the thunder in the distance.
