Why this should be read:
In Yesterday's Pain, Jack arrives at an ongoing dig/scientific investigation to find two of his teammates acting very strangely. Sam is hovering, Daniel is irritable, and both of them are constantly at each other's throats. And yet neither of them notice their own behavior. While the other personnel file it away for the SG-1 rumour-mill, Jack is sure that something is up. But he'd better find out soon, because otherwise this mission could end very, very badly. Roxie gives us a good story, and interesting background and an excellent ending. It's definitely worth a read. And if you like it, she's got several more long, plotty fics on her website.


Finding his glasses and slipping them on, Daniel paused to moisten his lower lip. “Every time I go to sleep I have these dreams… about Sam.”

“Oh?” Jack inquired, raising both eyebrows.

“Not like that,” Daniel groused. “Bad dreams. Bad, bad dreams.”

“How bad could they be?”

“I keep dreaming about putting my hands around her throat,” he paused for a minute as he involuntarily clenched his fists out in front of him in mute demonstration, “and squeezing the life out of her. Jack, I’m scared. I know I’d never intentionally hurt Sam, but now I apparently don’t know when I’m dreaming and when I’m awake. I really thought she was trying to kill me.”

“It was just a dream,” Jack reiterated.

“What if it wasn’t?” Daniel asked desperately. “What if… what if I snap or something? Jack, I don’t want to hurt anybody, especially not Sam.”
