Why This Must Be Read:
I'm somewhat shocked and amazed that this hasn't been recced anywhere that I can see.  This long fic has to be one of the most original Stargate plotlines I have ever read.  Generally well written with great dynamics it's a romp that has everything - action, adventure, mystery, angst, some h/c, and truly awesome character moments.  I won't go into details of the plot becasue it's too good to give away but once you realize what it's about you'll wonder why more people never ran with this idea.

I will say that, while being a pretty good team fic, it's also a great character study of both Carter and Daniel.  Carter gets more of the focus because she's the main subject of a rather incredible event.  In dealing with it Carter has to handle some of her latent issues with Jolinar; there's also a question of identity that runs throughout and at least one (perhaps more, it's been awhile since I've read the whole thing) morally ambiguous situation.

Overall it's a superb Carter-centric, gen, team-y fic. 

One note for people who do tackle this fic.  There are some formatting issues with the first chapter on fanfiction.net that are not present on the copy on Confushi's site.  But if memory serves later chapter(s) on Confushi's site have issues (apostrophes being replaced with ? I think) that aren't present on ff.net.  So between the two links supplied above you should be able to read the whole thing without problems.
