Show: SG-1

Why This Must Be Read: This long story is replete with action, drama, team interaction, great world-building, and richly-written original characters. As far as action / adventure stories go, this is one of the golden-oldies of the fandom. The author's understated summary says "SG-1 visit a world where everyone has disappeared" ... but don't be fooled by the simplicity of that summary. Also don't be fooled by the apparent emphasis on Daniel in the early stages of the story - the plot involves the entire team working to do what they do best: save a world.
The author's fics have gone off-line. Her work is only available via Wayback links, so this rec hopefully serves a dual purpose: to re-introduce you to a wonderful story, and to keep Lex's fic alive for that little bit longer. I hope you enjoy it.
Jack looked over at Sam, acknowledging the shake of her head, before he replied. "We're going to stay here and help these people with their snake problem. I'm still not happy with their technique of asking for help... ah!" He raised a finger in warning, halting the flow from Daniel's mouth before it began, "but under the circumstances I'm willing to forget about it."
"Forget?" Daniel asked softly, "Not forgive?"
"Not my place, Daniel." Jack replied.
