Why This Must Be Read:

This is a huge, sprawling epic told across 2 timelines.  Daniel arrives on a planet to find himself hailed as the long-lost King.  And then things get weirder.  While the story occasionally feels as though it has lost its way a little, the research done by the author lends events a rich background - and the gradual realisation of where the plot is going provide a rewarding payback.  An old story (it is set in season 3), it is complete despite the second part spuriously announcing itself as a WIP.

Snippet of fic:

"I...I do not know what to do," Elowen confessed, in a small voice.

"Well, there we can help you," Jack assured her. "Now...Where's Daniel?"

"Gone," Sam replied, awkwardly.

"Gone where?"

Sam gave a helpless shrug. "I don't know. Just...gone."

"Gone? Like: ‘poof'?"

"Yes," Sam replied. "Although more of a ‘phoot'."
