Why this must be read:

Kikkimax is one of the few author's I've read in more than one fandom, and this fic, again, just illustrates why. With enough twists and turns to make a reader dizzy, "Yesterday's Pain" draws you into a tale of past mistakes, pain, rage, and red herrings. At first glance, this seems like a typical mission fic with SG1 and SG7 investigating some archeological ruins. But soon, certain details start to creep in that hint that everything is not right here... What the reader will ultimately get is a fic that will leave you breathless from the sheer storytelling and an edge-of-your-seat suspense until the very end.

Story Summary:[Bad username or unknown identity: ]While excavating an old stronghold, Sam and Daniel aren't quite themselves. Is it Goa'uld technology, a curse on the castle, or something else that haunts them.

“I’m coming in,” Sam announced, once again working the lock.

Daniel disregarded the warning as he eased onto his back and attempted to lift the fragile bed skirt. The ancient material literally disintegrated between his fingers and the age’s old dust made him cough painfully. Growing increasingly impatient, he simply tore the fabric away enough to see into the nest of cobwebs and dust bunnies. Much to his dismay, the light from the lantern glittered on a steel blade. Remaining flat, he reached under the bed with his left arm.

“Got it,” Sam crowed in triumph. Suddenly the door swung open and Sam limped into the room. “Daniel,” she cried out as soon as she spotted him on the floor.

“Stay where you are,” Daniel threatened, brandishing the knife. “It wasn’t a dream. You did try to kill me.”
