Why this should be read: Here are Moebius!Daniel and AU!Samantha, sitting on the sands of Ancient Egypt. This fic is a rarity: a Moebius!Daniel at peace with the choices he's made, and optimistic about a future that he himself will never get to see... and an AU!Samantha who is ready to hear about the woman she once was, even if it's never going to fit what she is right now.


"One morning, on the day this started, I’ll wake up, go to work at the SGC, and at some point in the day, in a fraction of a second, we won’t come back here.” He lifted a hand and waved it through the air. “I won’t know that something has changed, that everything is right again, but it will be...” Daniel spread his hands. “This is, but it isn’t.”

Her brow creased as she thought about what he had said, and she looked away. “You have the advantage of knowing you’ll be the same person, continuing your life as you were supposed to. I’ll… kind of cease to exist. She looked at him again. “Although, I will have ceased to exist long before that, in the sense of being alive—and I will have existed, because I’m here.” Samantha shook her head.

“You’d like who you’ll be. Sam was, will be, a wonderful person… Uh, not that you’re not now. I mean… You’re not that different… Ugh.” His eyes squeezed shut and he brought his hand up to cover his face. “Sorry.”
