Why this should be read:
This is definitely one of my favourite descension AUs. In Steep Descent, Daniel returns from ascension in a body that still has radiation sickness. The SGC is at a loss until Shifu shows up, and reveals to Jack that Oma was perhaps not entirely honest with Daniel while he was ascended. The final resolution is, in my opinion, quite awesome, and the ending is very Jack. In between Jb weaves us a story of ascension and all that that implies, and gives us a glimpse of what it might have been like as an Ascended being. She also writes a very good Shifu.
Shifu murmured under his breath, "Daniel is wise. It is not merely in the instruction of the teacher that the opportunity for learning resides. What is not taught is the greater lesson."
What? Jack had only a scant moment to wonder if somehow Shifu might have absorbed a few doses of those drugs Daniel was loaded up with. The faint spark Shifu had created before at Daniel's forehead suddenly reappeared, only this time it didn't just fade off right away but instead stayed put and quickly brightened. "Hey! Wait. What..." He moved fast, grabbing Shifu's wrist once again, and as a sharp tingling rose in his fingers he barely managed to grind out, "...are you..." before the white glow suddenly burst into a blinding flash. An intense, paralysing pain exploded in his hand and shot all the way up his arm to his shoulder, and then through his chest. Blinded. Suffocating. God, it hurt.
When he could see and breathe again the first thing he noticed, aside from the torturously painful pins and needles sensation in his arm, was that he was no longer holding Shifu's wrist. The second thing was that Shifu wasn't even standing there across from him anymore. And the third thing to hit him was that the bed in front of him was empty.

I do think, though, that this doesn't classify as a lost episode. It's an AU of Fallen, after all. So I haven't tagged it as such.
But not to worry - non-theme-related recs are definitely welcome! And I really appreciate all the lost episode recs you've been making. :)

I read a lot of long fics when I first got into this fandom. It's been fun going through them and linking to my favourites :)
