I was just sitting here reading fanfic and totally thought of you when I encountered this bit of Jack's thoughts:
"He, too, had to be there, he told himself. He had to watch her back, get her home, and every now and then serve as a portable hard drive for downloading Ancient data or a punching bag for some Goa’uld with an attitude. If that meant that he also got to work with her, see her for coffee and at briefings, and now and then spend time on weekends or evenings, always as her CO, of course, and always in the company of others … ‘Well, what,’ he’d demanded of his restless conscience, ‘is the harm?’
Looking in to Ba’al’s dead eyes, Jack O’Neill had his answer – CFB. In a flash of terrible clarity, he saw what it would cost Sam and Daniel and Teal’c … and him. "
Dude!
