4. He was everything Daniel hated: aggressive, rude, and disdainful of academics. There was, quite simply no one more capable of completely irritating him, no one who could get under his skin and incense him, more than Jack O’Neill. They had a language totally unto themselves; a back and forth comprised of taunting jabs and scornful silences. One word, a gesture, a look – that was all it took to cause his blood to boil and his temper to flair.

But from the very first time he had laid eyes on him, he knew that he had lost all ability to leave him.

5. His foster father hadn’t been tall; Daniel had towered over him early in his teens. He was a tidy man, favouring a short, cropped hairstyle and the cleaner look of contacts. He wasn’t terribly imaginative, his job as an accountant lending a frank and straight-forward air to his entire being. He was as different from Daniel’s father as it was possible to be.

And yet he was kind, and encouraged Daniel to follow his own dreams. He worked hard to give the young boy a home, one filled with books and paper and love. He could never replace Daniel’s father, but then, he had never tried to. And for this, Daniel loved him all the more.

Oh, awesome, a foster dad! The rest of us neglected that part of Daniel's past.

I love that Daniel fell in love with a boy's brain, and that George's respect had such healing power.

I think Jack makes Daniel's blood boil in more ways than one. *g*

Thanks! I almost did the grandfather, but popped in the foster father instead - I'm glad I did now, since no one else picked him.

As for Jack making Daniel's blood boil... I decided it was best to leave that to your imagination *g*

Very well written! I especially love #3

Thanks!

Just love that you considered his foster father - foster parents do get forgotten don't they, but they really shouldn't. Love the idea that he never tried to replace Daniel's father and that made Daniel love him more. :)

Thanks! I figured he would have known his foster parents longer than his actual parents - but that he was old enough for his father to have been well remembered.

I really like these :) I tried to pick a favourite but it has proved impossible, though I do love the fact that you chose Daniel's foster father as one of the five.

aw, thank you!
