ok apparently this (from the novel sacrifice moon) is what jack was referring to— i missed it when i read it the first time bc it’s just daniel vaguely referencing it and we never actually see it (and neither does jack, much to his great disappointment😆):
Reading Sacrifice Moon. Jack busted his ankle at the beginning of the book and has been hobbling around on it the entire time on the Goa'uld Hunger Games planet they're trapped on. As someone who's had serious foot injuries where they can't put weight on it, the dedication to reminding us how bad Jack's ankle is, how much worse it's getting, and how characteristically stubborn he is in pushing through it is so painful.
At least he's still gay about it lmao.
And here he's...apparently getting jealous of Sam giving Daniel shooting lessons? Yeah ok. Good stuff recommend.

This one actually takes place before The Price You Pay but the list I'm going off put this second
Updates:
- Chapter 1
- this is so cute XD
- "She’d readall the reports, Jack knew, but those probably didn’t include the less thanenthusiastic welcome Kawalsky and Ferretti had given a long-haired, foureyed, sneezing geek who didn’t know one end of an MP5 from the other." Damn Daniel is getting ROASTED
- lime contamination XD
- "This might actually work, he thought, and felt something that had been clenched like a fist inside of him—since he’d seen Charlie Kawalsky die—slowly relax." 😭
- "somebody’sgoing to have to install an alarm clock in Daniel’s ass to remind him of briefings" PFFFT
- Chapter 2
- "it was like falling, just for an instant, into a sea of stars that blazed and froze and tore him apart and put him back together" neat line, damn
- PFFFFT AN AIRPORT
- the Helos Confederacy??
- Daniel's excitement is so adorable, I miss this Daniel
- "uncontrollable lecture mode" PFFFT so real
- Chapter 3
- “No. I am the one who brought your wife to Apophis. I witnessed her humiliated and stripped, and I did nothing. I heard her screams and pleas, and I did nothing. I have no right to your trust. You should know this.” ow ow ow

- “Teal’c even came with me as a visual aid.” XD

- WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENINGGGGG
- Chapter 4
- ah yes the DHD translation reveal
- bro I need to see Teal’c doin this shit, we were robbed
- Daniel wrangling XD
- oh hell
- this is pretty gruesome for Stargate, I kinda dig it
- Chapter 5
- ‘She dug out supplies, and inspected an MRE package with a slight, undeniably cute frown between her eyebrows.’ I can’t tell if that’s the narrator calling her cute or Daniel
- ‘She gave him a sidelong look out of those blue eyes that he couldn’t quite think of as military.’ He totally thinks she’s cute
- they’re bonding 😭
- ‘The city looks like a pillaged corpse, but it is a living thing, hungry and waiting.’ This is so cooooool
- ‘Everyone screams, in the end.’ AHHHH
- ‘They hold its mutilated, twitching body before him, laughing silently behind their jackal smiles, and their eyes are black and wide and avid.’ GEEZ
- It was Jack’s dream??? Wtf is up with the part about the symbiote then???
- the fact that he called out for Teal’c though 😭
- holy shit Carter as a hunter, this is so fucking spooky
- ‘Human. Crawling’ IS THIS A HORROR BOOK WTF IS THIS
- ‘Before Jack could tell him to stick it, Teal’c was out the door and moving fluidly across the open ground, staff weapon held ready to fire.’ XD
- ooooooh Jack dreamed of Teal’c getting killed
- “Take point, and keep your eyes open. If somebody’s running around dispatching new arrivals, let’s stay off their dance card.”
Teal’c’s eyes were wide, suddenly. “Is there a possibility of dancing, O’Neill?” “Figure of speech. It means, let’s don’t get killed.” “Indeed.” They’re so cute
- ‘hit-and-run archaeology’ is so funny help
- 'It probably said a lot about Daniel’s childhood, now that he thought about it. Sha’re was the only person Jack had ever seen touch him without causing that defensive reaction.' 😭
- OH MY GOD TEAL'C HAD THE VISION TOO
- bro I do noooot like Sam and Daniel behaving this way it's scary. Jack and Teal'c in a prey role??? Terrifying
- Chapter 6
- y'all I'm on the edge of my damn seat right now what is happening
- 'Daniel had looked particularly weird, standing up there gazing at the horizon, hugging those giant marble ankles.' XD
- 'He wanted to see what Daniel saw, the magic that Daniel felt holding these things.' 😭
- THIS IS SO INTENSE AHHHH
- GOD DAMN DANIEL
- I have literal chills AHHHH

- “I didn’t say you had character. I said you were stubborn.” XD

- 'Great. The bitch had a ship.' PFFFFFT
- 'Daniel looked at Sam across the limp, trembling body of the prey, and she was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen in his life. Flushed, fevered, blood-spattered and vividly, violently erotic' EXCUSE ME?!?!

- I honestly cannot think of a time where SG-1 has had it this bad, I mean DAMN
- Chapter 10
- ‘It went on forever, and Jack heard his breathing turn ragged and tortured as Daniel and Carter died, and died, and kept on dying.’ Good god this shit is brutal
- oh god, she went into the girl didn’t she
- HELL YEAH JACK
- YEP IT’S IN HER
- ‘Pylades put his hand on the living tomb of his sister, and wept.’ 😭
- dude, this is brutal
- wow, that was amazing and horrifying and completely unexpected
Y'all I'm over halfway through Sacrifice Moon and all I'm gonna say is that this book is WILD. It's so violent and gory and off the walls compared to Stargate SG-1 I mean HOLY CRAP.
Silence, except for the sound of his heart thudding faster in his chest.
He held his breath until he saw a pale set of hands groping at the sides, and then Carter's blonde head as she sat up.
She looked around, dazed, and blinked at them. "Where-" And then she knew; he saw everything kick in. Fast, his Carter. She climbed out of the sarcophagus, steadied herself, and flashed him an unsteady smile.
