Link: Our lost Skies Reborn

Why This Must Be Read: surrealis takes us to the universe we saw in the episode 'Point of View' in this beautifully written fic. The Earth is practically destroyed, the remaining survivors are trying to build up society again. And Daniel Jackson has no idea about why his world has changed so much until one day Samantha Carter finds him. The author has a wonderful way with words, the romance is wonderfully written and the smut is very hot. Even if you are not usually into het or apocafics, give this a try.

Now Samantha Carter sits at his kitchen table with a cup of his precious coffee in her hands, and she tells him that those papers had been instrumental in something the world had never known about. Something fantastic and unreal.

Something that had destroyed them all.

“A… stargate?” he asks, wanting to laugh but restrained by the sadness in her eyes and the niggling suspicion in his own mind.

She nods and pulls a thick, ripped and soiled file folder from her pack and lays it out reverently on the table. “It’s one of the only things I could save,” she explains, quietly.

He places nervous fingers over the papers and the photographs, feeling a little shock as he touches them and turns them toward his eyes and views the wonder of the stargate. He recognizes the hieroglyphs in some of them, not in others, but the fascination builds. He traces the glyphs on the gate as Samantha tells him about gate addresses and constellations and stellar drift. She has a thousand stories inside of her; he can sense it. Stories of galaxies and planets and aliens both good and evil.

Magnavox and I both rec'd this fic at Arcady's Stargate Information Archive site. I'm not a huge apocafic fan but this was well-written and so true to the characters of both Sam and Daniel.
