Why This Must Be Read: When Dr. Carter from POV starts to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of their bittersweet victory, one of her first steps is the search for her reality's Daniel Jackson...

Stringertheory offers a real treat with this one: a glimpse of a world shattered by Goa'uld invasion, a Daniel with a different background and history but still very much himself (brilliance, sharpness, and all), and the start of a new beginning of friendship and exploration through the Stargate.

Full disclaimer: My prompt inspired this, and I was lucky enough to beta it, too. :)


“What was the other reality like?” he asks curiously.

“Almost the same as here,” she replies. “There were people there that we knew - ” she flinches almost imperceptibly “ - like the people we knew here. I met my duplicate,” she says, a smile in her voice. “And I met you.”

Daniel blinks at her. “You did?”

She nods. “You were one of the lead scientists at the SGC, their version of the SGA. You'd been there from the very beginning – you made Gate travel possible in the first place.”

Daniel stares at her. “I did,” he says blankly.

She looks at him with that same odd, searching expression, and gives the faintest hint of a smile. It's small, but sincere, and it changes her face.

“Want to see it?” she asks, and there is a promise and a plea in the question.
