Statements Unspoken. Missing Scene fic from Secrets--what happens between when Daniel and Teal'c leave Amaunet and arrive at the pyramid. Why didn't canon explore more of this strange but wonderful friendship. It's also one of my shortest fics.
1. He had sworn an oath to reunite Sha're and Daniel Jackson. Before, his guilt regarding Sha're had been abstract–knowing he had chosen an innocent woman to be Amaunet's host, the beloved of a man he was now honored to call friend. But now, he had met Sha're, spoken with her. And yet, he had seen the Horus guards surrounding Nagada, the ha'tak over the Stargate. If Teal'c did not act, they would all perish. Emotion choked his throat as he fought to speak. "You know we cannot."
2. I don't know if the fanwank I came up with worked (or even that it's the truth--but it's Teal'c's theory in my brain). But...most fics (and even canon!) have the other characters translating Teal'c expressions. I'm proud of playing with the idea from Teal'c's perspective--such as how he wanted to wear the helmet or how he initially reacted to Daniel's response to his unconscious body communication about the ordeal in Cimmeria. Because of course that was no way a punt to get out of Daniel contininuing to argue about Shau'ri. No siree. *whistles innocently*
3. I like how Teal'c is the one leading Daniel at the beginning, but by the end, it's Daniel leading Teal'c. (Because you know it had to be Daniel's stupid idea to go in pretending to be a prisoner...although thinking now, Teal'c could've gotten the idea from Star Wars: A New Hope--but I don't think Teal'c would've been that cavalier with Daniel's life).
