Link: Five experiences Daniel had while Descending
Why This Must Be Read: Vain Glourious gives us a beautifully thoughtful look at the first minutes and days and weeks of Daniel's descension: the confusion, the need to rediscover sensation and language and touch, the absence of a past and his yearning for a future. Together with Daniel, we move from that cataclysmic moment of his return to the decision to follow SG-1 through the Stargate. With a gentle eloquence and a marvelous character voice, this Five Things should be read slowly and lovingly - exactly as it must have been written.
Daniel spent his first days back in the human sphere babbling in over 20 languages, never using the same one consecutively within a sentence. Then, gradually, the words organized themselves. It was miraculous, and so beautiful he no longer wanted to kill himself to stop the chaos. His entire lexicon bloomed in his mind, becoming almost corporeal, like a living – no, evolving – thing within his head.
He would have been content to spend the rest of his life just following the ways connections jointed it, how it could be deconstructed and rebuilt, how nearly every part of it could be altered and reformed to do just about anything.
When his mind came back completely, he wasn’t surprised to find out he had a Ph.D in philology.
