Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
“I am curious, Doctor Jackson, why your people have great reluctance in discussing the act of mating when your magazines and internet are full of subtle references to the action in question.”
Daniel blinked, and then sighed. “It’s complicated. Don’t the Jaffa have things that it is considered shameful to discuss… actions that if revealed had happened would cause a loss of honour?”
Teal’c frowned again. “Your people find the ritual of mating disgraceful? Then why do they use so many references in your media?”
Daniel shook his head. “We don’t find the action itself distasteful… it’s more the fact of someone doing it a lot and not sticking to one person… and being loyal to them.”
Teal’c nodded. “So the fact that Colonel O’Neill may have been… disloyal… is an act of shame?”
Daniel shook his head quickly. “No… no… It’s more that by speaking of it we can’t help but imply that it happened. There’s nothing wrong with it if you haven’t pledged yourself to one person but… its just one of those things.”
Teal’c paused again, his facial expression giving nothing away. “Ah, I see.”
Daniel blinked. “You do? That’s good.”
Teal’c nodded his head regally. “You do not like to talk about such things as to do so may inadvertently indicate disrespect to the person you are speaking to. It is a wise thing to do.”
He turned and left he room, leaving Daniel behind him frowning slightly, before the man shrugged and followed his friend out. Hopefully that conversation would not pop back up again.
