Earliest saved document 20 Jan 2000 Summary: Jack discovers Daniel is homosexual and has recently been living in a domestic-violence relationship with a Lawyer named Peter Dove. Daniel reveals that Peter's recreational drug use (used occasionally between them to heighten their sexual experiences) had grown into a habit, making the man violent and unreasonable. Jack is furious to think that his team member might be influenced by drugs when on missions, and cites the incident with the sarcophagus as a point of reference. Daniel assures him that he personally doesn't use drugs anymore and never did around a mission - just on long leaves. Daniel also reassures Jack that the relationship with Dove is well and truly over. Jack trusts him. However, it is clear that the gentle-natured anthropologist still believes there is good in his ex-partner so when Dove makes contact Daniel tries to reach through to the man that he once loved deeply. When Daniel is at first threatened, then beaten and raped, by Peter Jack steps in to help, showing the darker side of himself to Daniel. Through a series of conversations O'Neill inadvertently reveals his own feelings for the archaeologist but tells Daniel that nothing can happen between them, as per military protocol. The confession strengthens the men's friendship, though, and a cat-and-mouse game of flirtation and unfulfilled sexual tension begins between them. Dove disappears out of Daniel's life, which pleases Jack, and it's some weeks before Daniel receives a letter from Peter begging forgiveness and giving Daniel a cherish memento. When Daniel tries to get in touch with the supposedly 'reformed' man he discovers that Dove died of an AIDS related illness weeks ago and that the letter had been posted after being discovered amongst his possession when his sister cleaned out his loft. Daniel is left facing the prospect of HIV and AIDS - and the possibility of becoming Tok'Ra in order to prolong his life if he'd contracted the disease. Jack's left with the fact that the man he's loved for a long while might get a 'snake' in his head, and might be forced to leave the SGC to live and work amongst the Tok'Ra. Before that happens, both men contemplate the possibility of finally consummating their suppressed desires. Story notes: If this story is faintly familiar to you, especially the AIDS/ HIV angle, it's because this is the story I was working on when Philip Simmons (of the Bombshells Series) came to mind. Wanting to take this fic in another direction with the HIV/AIDS thread, but feeling like it wouldn't suit this story, I started jotting notes down that eventually took the Bombshells series to a whole 'nother level! Philip Simmons went from being a one-scene character (we weren't meant to see him again after the first scene in Daniel's apartment) to being one of the core characters. The story (Bombshells) was originally a JD fic and was due to end within 5 more parts from the scene at Daniel's apartment! Would
Daniel seriously consider becoming a Tok'Ra if he had to? Would
Daniel take recreational drugs? |
