this is really wonderful. i don't think i read it before.

i love how you have daniel thinking about sha're through the whole thing, because of course he would think about her and not himself.

great teal'c, too. i love daniel thinking about how teal'c could get them to behave, and i love how this very subtly explains how daniel has come to respect teal'c despite everything. you make me ponder daniel's ruthless streak; he does have one. and teal'c's ruthless in a totally different way than daniel but it's one of the things they have in common....
