Author's Summary:
Jack has just rescued Daniel from an uninhabited planet and all is well. Or is it? If Sam and the others don’t know something is very, very wrong—they do when Daniel and Jack disappear. Not even the best investigators in the world can find them.
Set post season 10.
Why This Must Be Read:
A poetic, haunting fic related to the author's own treatment for PTSD. Jack and Daniel return from a mission gone awry, but they are different. Sam fights to understand, and learns more about team also being family.
This is part 1 of a series but it can stand alone. Part 2 is currently being posted.
Jack thinks it is in these moments that he hears best.
There is a crowd around him, going nuts, throwing their caps in the air and clapping him on the back. Daniel doesn’t say anything but Jack understands him best anyway, when the archaeologist looks at him like that.
They do not cheer. Just stand. Their eyes connect past the Air Force’s retirement celebrations and Daniel’s gaze softens at the edges.
Jack nods in response.
The world has always gone on without them.
“It’s almost over now, Danny.”
Jack can’t even hear himself say this over the noise, but Daniel bobs his head in that tired vehemence he wears now. Ducking yet another handshake, Jack takes Daniel’s sleeve.
They wander out of the grassy pavilion, into Jack’s truck. Nobody notices the exit of the man for whom they cheer.
“Where are we going?”
Jack shrugs. “Does it matter?”
