Notes: I have a thing for
good Absolute Daniel fic. The problem is, this is the first one I
ever read, and it spoiled me. I love the mood of this
piece. Kind of...I don't really know how to describe it. It
doesn't move really fast, there's a kind of relaxed air to it that's
hard to reconcile with the fact that it's a story about Jack being a
captive of the Daniel that Shifu describes in his "teaching
dream." But the fic moves at it's own pace, and I love the
glimpses we see of Jack and Daniel together, of Jack's escape attempts
and recaptures and of Jack watching football with his guard Major John
Sheppard splitting his attention between the game and Jack. I
like the way dirty diana leaves so much of the action to our
imaginations, and just gives us glimpses that fill in the gaps.
Excerpt:
The day guard has a name, something long and Russian-sounding that Jack will never remember. The night guard has a name too.
"This is Major Sheppard," Daniel explains quietly, from inside the doorway. "His job is to keep an eye on you."
Jack looks up. He studies Sheppard in just a glance, as the younger man stands neatly to attention. Jack doesn't respond.
"I've seen his record," Daniel adds. His tongue brushes his mouth as he speaks. "It's quite impressive. He's pretty good at shooting things. I think he might even like it. Do you, Major?"
Major Sheppard has green eyes, ones that don't tell anything. "Depends," he murmurs quietly.
