The Many Paths of Daniel Jackson

Rating: Teen and up
Word count: 20,000-50,000 (Novella)

Summary

Every possibility, every choice I had ever made, even choices I hadn’t, led to an entirely different life until I could no longer tell reality from its alternates.

My notes

Daniel touches a mysterious crystal (which is just so Daniel) and starts experiencing various alternate realities and timelines his life might take. Not being able to discern what’s real as he’s living each moment, it sends him spiralling gradually into madness as SG-1 (plus Jack) tries desperately to save him.

This is heartbreaking, gripping, weird, funny, raw, and a pure display of loyalty and chosen family that is SG-1 in its finest fucking form. This is the kind of story I want to see – down to each character present – in any potential revival. I want it all, or nothing at all.
