Summary: True-to-the-characters seduction and a little h/c

So, Taselby put out a call for comfort fics, then proceeded to write one of the best fics I've read in this fandom. Quiet comfort for the characters, and deep, all-is-right-with-the-world comfort for this reader. Quietly brilliant characterisation and bright sharp moments of exquisiteness.

“Salad?” Jack leans back against the counter and watches the process, like an excavation in reverse. “Stuff? Why do you always presume I have no vegetables?”

Intent on his work, Daniel doesn’t look up. All he needs is his boonie and some dirt on his nose to complete the image. “Do you?”

“That’s not the point.”
