Fair Power


Why shouldn’t we give up the Stargate? One word: Sha’re. My wife is still out there and I’m not resting until I find her. I can’t believe Jack—that anyone—is even considering this. We’ve got people out there. This is insane.

But do they really have another choice? All of Earth leveraged against the hope of finding Sha're. How is that fair? How is it even something I could ask?

Jack—stoic and angry, emotions boiling at the surface—he'd do it if I asked. Which is why I shouldn’t—can't—ask.

It isn’t fair to wield such power.

Very very nice. Love the emotion in this. Drabbles are so hard cuz there's so little room to convey so much. This does exactly that. The tension and war raging within Daniel. That internal struggle. And that need to do what's right rather than what's right for him. *guh* So Daniel. Nice job.

Thank you. This isn't one of my favorites, but I feel like it's got a good grip of Daniel's emotions.
