Follow the fake LJ cut to my (Gift for Snowshie) Have a happy new year!

I watched a lot of 'Needs' and 'The Light' while writing this. I've done quite a lot of editing but it's still a little rough in places. Hopefully it's not *too* bad.

Tg,
Happy New Year and thanks for posting the stories here for us all to enjoy. I really loved your Jack and Daniel. I had to be up early because I was on call for work and it was really nice to find the stories and have time to read them before I got busy.
Sneezy Daniel was just adorable and Jack was subtle and very sweet. Very Jack- like if that makes sense.
Thanks again - as always I get very excited to find new stories from you!

Dammit, this is what happens when I don't check my flist for nearly a month. >_< Firstly: thank you so much for writing this. I'm such a J/D whore, and seeing as it's the second SG-1 fic in the "community" it's definitely extra special. *hugs the fic*

So, feedback time: I love the fact that you've kept Daniel in the infirmary, the fact that they called in the medics to come check him, (Hazmat!suit fun! :P) and kept him there until they were sure it was just a cold. Details like that make me happy. Especially since Stargate, in general, doesn't follow through much with those types of things. Because everything is episode-by-episode instead of taking the details and keeping them all in the foreground all the time, they tend to skip over quite a lot for the sake of moving things along. So I love seeing them take place in fanfiction - we get to see what they cut out, in a sense, and you've done it so brilliantly here.

The little things? I love Jack's "bless." SO cute in cannon, so cute in fic. :D I adore your Sam. You've got her spot on, and just so perfect in her thoughtful-and-caring-but-not-smothing. Teal'c's strong, silent, supportive presence. Daniel's shyness in front of the camera - not wanting to make a spectacle of himself. Very true to character for him. (Well, when it comes to his personal well-being, at any rate. We all know he doesn't much care what people think of him when it comes to funny theories and the like. ;))

As for the slashiness, this is my favourite kind - sweet and subtle. So close to canon, yet it's just taken that step further. Thanks again for writing this, it was very much enjoyed.
