Oh wow -- I was trying to give choices and this is an embarrassment of riches. :)
#1: I love the SG-1 details/background that ground this fic.
I have no illusion that a type of cult of personality wasn't exactly what had also happened on Atlantis.
And that's a story in itself. ;) The dynamics here are wonderful and Caldwell's discomfort with it and his task are perfect.
For a month at a time, The Island of Misfit Toys gets their action hero. Yet under most circumstances, I would be returning often enough that I could take command when necessary, as well as attempt to mold Sheppard into what he should have become.
I like this solution, and that Caldwell is the one suggesting it.
I need the home advantage (any advantage I can get), but how am I going to be able to do it here on the Daedalus? When every day that I'm here I will be forced to remember?
The internal conflict totally works. I like that Sheppard's trauma is shown by Caldwell's reaction.
"On you knees, boy."
Oh my. Love the combination of the challenge and the smirking hiding how messed up Sheppard is and Caldwell's decision to help Sheppard this way.

Disturbingly good.
