Now, if only I could get an idea for a nice meaty Daniel-and-Teal'c friendship fic.
YES YES YES YES. I am always complaining about the lack of good Daniel and Teal'c friendship fics - in fact, that's how your name came up in the discussion in the first place, when I wondered if I might be missing out on good Teal'c and Daniel friendship stories by Sam/Jack writers, in much the same way you tend to write strong Sam and Teal'c in your Jack and Daniel gen fics (I'm thinking mostly of Quality of Mercy and Separation Anxiety, although of course Sam and Teal'c positively shine in Salt of the Earth). I was regretfully informed, however, that most Sam/Jack writers are too busy either pairing Daniel with Janet (so he won't be left out) or turning him into the cheering yenta on the sidelines.
...I'll stick to gen, thanks.
But really, the Teal'c and Daniel dynamic has such dramatic potential, and it's just - not - there. Argh.
