Why This Must Be Read: Superb old skool style fic, featuring an in-depth character study of Jack in the nebulous year between movie and COTG. Complete with a loving nod to Jack's Irish heritage and lots of foreshadowing, this is a fantastic glimpse of Jack's metamorphosis from the movie to the show.
When he watches the shows about Egypt, he wonders why Ra decided to be Ra and not one of the other gods, and why Ra liked the sand so much.
Thinking about Ra means thinking about Egypt which means sand. And sand means he thinks about Daniel Jackson living on Abydos.
It had been Jackson’s decision to stay there. Jack doesn’t really understand why, but he knows it’s partly because of Shau’re and partly because Jackson’s in love with all things Ancient Egypt, and partly because Jackson doesn’t think he has anything to come back to on Earth.
Jack O’Neill understands that last part. He really didn’t have anything to come back to either, and that’s why he took on the mission without question. Colonel O’Neill fights him about it, saying he’s violating the parameters of the mission, and Jackson, as much as he hated it at first, was part of his team and he wasn’t going home without all the living members of the team.
Leave no man behind.
But Jack tells the Colonel to shove it and lets Daniel Jackson stay on Abydos.
