I've been meaning to read this for, well, a while now, and I finally finally clicked on it and...YAY! BRA'TAC OMG!
Bra’tac walked into his shadow. The heat on his back had faded into the warmth of the evening long before the edges of his shadow blurred into the night.
This wording right here? Frakking amazing! Awesome way of describing the action and the scene and setting the mood.
I love the teasing back-and-forth battle of words between the two of them. So well done and real and smiley and painful. And little Teal'c! And this is so powerful - that Teal'c's "Jaffa revenge thing" could have settled so early and the way his mother tried to protect him from himself.
To serve my God, he mentally corrected, wondering at her phrasing, wondering which was the honor and which the price.
Oh, wow. I love the implication that Bra'tac may have learned the seeds of disbelief from Teal'c's mother (who, perhaps, also sewed them in Teal'c)
I love the glimpse into what Bra'tac was like while he was young and ambitious - seeing the beginnings of his later wisdom.
