Why this must be read:
For the Christina Rossetti poem ? Because, I love Christina Rossetti, and it's very cool to see a fanfic quoting her.
;)
I love the tone of this AU-Crossover, and all the voices, they sound so true! Very character driven, and that is why you can them all involved in this alternate world.

Summary per the author:
"SG-1 and Cassie attend Janet's wake and set events in motion with a wish. Later, Elizabeth and John look for Ancient texts hidden away on Earth. In Los Angeles. In the Hyperion hotel, specifically."
(note: Ms. H.T. Cat gets asked – pleaded for a sequel in the comments, but this "stands alone", in case you want to know such things.)

Why this must be read:  Long, plotty fic is my absolute favorite kind.  Apocafic is another fave.  Long, plotty apocafic that offers humor and drama, action and adventure, engaging characters, suspense, sex, and a rich characterization of a Daniel Jackson stripped of virtually all he knows and loves that is full of nuance and insight and is totally spot-on is fanfic nirvana.  At the Hour When We Are Trembling offers all of the above with style and context that never falter.

Author's Summary:  "The Wraith make it to Earth, and John and Daniel are left to pick up the pieces."
