Why this must be read:
I love alternate timelines, and I love when canon enjoys playing with them as much as I do. In "2010," SG-1 tossed a note through the 'Gate, trying to unmake the world they knew, to undo Earth's domination by the Aschen -- and they succeeded. This is the story of Janet, in that future that's now a might-have-been - Janet feeling out of place, watching her friends' lives, and circling through a casual relationship with Daniel.
It's a quiet piece of introspection, observation, and bits of conversations - it presumes you've seen the episode, and leaves the splashy, desperate action off-screen - but is well-informed by Janet's character. The author says she was inspired by the flip little waves Daniel gives Janet, of which the good doctor herself says, "He waves to her from the balcony, a casual salute that says everything that is needed: Goodbye. It's been fun. Sorry. ... This really is the final mission, which is why it's funny that it should be her going through the wormhole."
