Author's Summary:

They say they found Daniel Jackson alive on a deserted planet. They were wrong.

 

 

Why This Must Be Read: 

A fascinating concept which takes Michael Shanks' character from Burn Notice (who was a very bad man) and drops him in the Stargate universe at a time that Daniel is supposedly dead.

What really caught my eye was the tag: Jack is not the Most Dangerous Guy in the Room For Once. That alone made the story intriguing

The author says it's unfinished (and it's an emotional bloodletting, not a physical one), and, yes, the story is open ended, but what is there is well worth checking out.

 

 

Things started to go pear-shaped about six months after Daniel died. More than they had been since Daniel had died. Sure, the intergalactic threats were the same. The SGC still ran like top secret clockwork, but things hadn't been the same. Jonas wasn't Daniel, no matter how much he tried to be. Carter and Teal'c had all made Jonas feel like a member of the team, but Jack had kept his distance.

Because he wasn't Daniel, obviously, or so he told Carter when she asked. But also because there was some deeply buried fear about getting too close, getting someone else killed, and there was that whole part about Jonas and his people (technically!) being responsible for Daniel's death. It was just better if Jack kept his distance.
