Why This Must Be Read: Written back in the early days of the show's run, imo this fic is a stellar example of the best of SG-1 team stories: When Jack O'Neill is affected by an unknown off-world influence, the rest of the team not only work to figure out what happened and correct it but also to unfailingly support Jack as he faces what could be the end of his life as he's known it. It's a long meaty story with plenty of everything, for everyone.
"Jack," said Daniel: "Please. Try to stay calm..."
"Calm?" he repeated incredulously. "This is my life that's draining away down the plughole. This is all I've got."
"And we will get it back." Daniel held up a hand. "I swear."
He was trying, Jack supposed, to communicate his sincerity: actually he looked more like an overgrown boy scout, and the effect was slightly comical. But the words were welcome nevertheless, and when O'Neill spoke again, he had at least regained sufficient self control to stop his voice from shaking.
"It's all I've got," he repeated.
"Not all. You have us," corrected Daniel. "And even if you forget, we won't."
