The Stranger I know

read it on the AO3

by Mini_Goat

“Do you suppose any alternates who lost the other, traveled to a reality where the other survived and they ended up together? “That’s a lot of permutations Daniel, but it’s possible.” “A little pathetic though, doncha think?” Jack grumbled “You wouldn’t fall in love with an alternate me if something had happened to me?” Sam looked at Jack from her position tucked against him on the couch. “I’d be ok with it you know.” Sam told him and stroked his cheek gently and earned herself an ambiguous and somewhat ambivalent look. “No one could ever replace you Sam, not even someone almost entirely like you.” He told her, his heart in his eyes. ~Shai Ch 10.5 ~

it’s quiet uptown, ch. 2

Amazingly, I have finished a second chapter of this Redemption Pt. 2 what-if!

Read chapter 2 on AO3 (you’ll need to be signed in) or under the cut below! Comments, feedback, etc. cherished :D (tumblr link to ch. 1)

The first thing Jack saw when he regained consciousness was gold.

Sure looked like the gaudy ceiling of a Goa'uld ship.

Oh. It was the ceiling of a Goa'uld ship.

Great. Well, at least he wasn't dead, which had been a distinct possibility. Jack sat up, his head throbbing in protest, and tried to figure out where the hell he was. Gold walls and a nice closed door with no inside controls surrounded a triangular room. The layout reminded him of the tel’tak that damned bounty hunter had trapped them in a few years back. Most of his gear--or what there had been of it--had been taken, but inexplicably, his 'chute was dumped next to him in the middle of the room. Oh, and he'd apparently gotten bashed in the head at some point because he definitely has a concussion.

Huh. Well, it could have been worse. He wasn't dead and he wasn't on a mothership, from what he could tell, which had to count for something. They'd have to come back to get him out of here at some point.

Jack scooted over to the parachute, trying to keep his head as still as possible to minimize the headache, and got to work.

Jack spent close to two days lulling the singular Jaffa sent to guard him into complacency and assembling materials. Toward the end of day two, he positioned himself beside the door as the telltale clanking of Jaffa footsteps approached, presumably to bring him food and water. Tensing in anticipation, he tried to ignore the still-pounding complaint in his head as the door slid open.

The plan worked like a charm. The Jaffa guard took one step into the room, tripped over the paracord stretched along the floor, and fell flat on his face. As Jack had hoped, the unwieldy butt of the Jaffa's staff weapon caught the underside of the second trip wire, sending it out of the falling guard's grasp and right into Jack's waiting hands. He allowed himself a proud grin--the Jaffa had nothing on the prank mastermind of the SGC--and aimed at the backs of the Jaffa at the front of the ship.

A quick firefight with the remaining Jaffa pilots later, Jack had turned the tel’tac around and was speeding back towards Earth. He'd scrounged up some aspirin from the medkit he'd found tucked away with the rest of the gear that had been attached to the ‘chute, and was feeling in much better spirits without the constant headache. Feet propped up on the console, he was content to let space whiz by.

The ship dropped out of hyperspace just as Jack’s stomach was starting to protest. He felt something in him quiet with the sight of the approaching blue marble, and suddenly couldn’t wait to get back home. Space was fine and all, but Jaffa rations couldn’t compete with a nice, juicy steak.

And, he admitted in the privacy of his own head, space was so much more fun when he had Carter babbling excitedly beside him.

The thought of Carter reminded him that she’d thought--everybody thought--that he’d been dead for several days. God, he couldn’t imagine what she'd been through--first Daniel, now him, and he had no idea if Teal'c had been able to get back to Earth.

Jack decided there and then that he’d beam down to his house first. He knew he'd be stuck at the base for a long, long time as soon as he showed up again, and he wanted a nice, warm shower before that happened. Also, more importantly, he wanted to see Carter before he checked back in at the SGC. He knew that he’d been distant since Daniel’s death, taken out his anger and grief on her, and--well, if he was technically dead, they couldn’t court martial him for giving her just one hug, right?

...And that's that, save for final editing tweaks here and there.

Over 240,000 words, 36 chapters, 26 months start to finish.

I did it.

Wow.

I'm feeling kinda giddy. Or maybe I just need lunch.

(What follows is essentially the Author's Afterward in the next chapter from the posted story, but the sentiment still applies here.)

To the readers who have made it this far you have my most sincere thanks for indulging me in this OC-inclusive, canon-divergent, three-way crossover AU. This has truly been a labor of love, for the fantastic shows and their inspiring settings and characters that have been a part of my life for so long, as well as the entire sci-fi genre, both literary and on screen. The best thing about the Stargate fandom is the extensive scope of the series, and how it can allow for so many different approaches in an entertaining mashup of ancient mythology and science fiction, served with intelligence, humor, and heart. I hope that I've been able to convey some of that in my own fashion and allowed it to lighten your own lives.

Have you ever had inspiration come to you in a dream? The idea for the whole story's been in my mind as bits and pieces for the past twenty years (!!) and I'm glad I finally had the time, drive and wherewithal to start translating the images in my mind into words. And that I felt free enough to go as big and epic as it played out in my imagination. I'm also glad it's taken me this long to do so, since I'm not sure I would've been able to write the same story without the maturity and added experience that comes from just plain living.

To be honest I never expected my modest AU would turn out to be so big a project. The story's been my lifeline to sanity in these very trying times for our world, as I suspect writing and reading fanfic has been for you, dear readers. Long live fan fiction and all who enjoy it!

This is the end of this story, but not of the AU. There's plenty of room for more adventures, multichapters, one-shots and vignettes alike. And not only by myself.

I'm opening it up to anyone who wishes to play in my sandbox if inspired. Additions, remixes or creations of any kind are welcome, so long as due credit is given. Have fun, give a nod in my direction (or an "Inspired by" link on AO3), and please let me know in the comments there what you've done. Any point in the timeline listed is fair game so feel free to expand upon anything- John and Rodney's relationship in Alpha Base and Atlantis, Sam and Jack's or Mac and Janet's- even future fics are welcome featuring the next generation(s). In fact, any of my original characters listed in Ch. 2 of Timeline and Who's Who in Ad Astra and original concepts in A Linguist's Guide to New Earth can be used, with credit of course. Or add your own, the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned!

If there's interest I'll create a collection on AO3 called Stargate: The New Earth Chronicles and open it to any rating or pairing- or crossover, if you think it can fit. All I ask is to keep it in the same optimistic spirit of soft apocalypse with a glimmer of hope, because now more than ever we need those happy endings.

Okay, time for me to give credit where it's rightfully due.

None of this would've come to pass in the first place if not for a certain actor and the two leading roles he portrayed so brilliantly. So thanks first and foremost to Richard Dean Anderson for introducing me to the original Angus MacGyver and later on Jack (Two L's) O'Neill, sides of the same coin as far as I'm concerned. The inspiration for my OC Rebecca Grahme came out of a desire to give both of them more family, and a concrete reason for doing what they do.

Thanks also to Michael Shanks for his version of Daniel Jackson, the first character on TV I could truly relate to, and proof that even glasses-wearing geeks (like myself) can be heroes. Indeed (to quote Teal'c) my admiration for everyone in both series- cast and crew alike- knows no bounds, for bringing to life a truly epic universe and giving it heart and wit, adventure and excitement. They are the reason why I'm still a fan after all these years.

I carry a warm fondness in my heart for the original MacGyver and the invaluable lessons he taught me about applied nonviolence, seeking creative solutions to problems and the willingness to do the right thing and stand up for others in the face of overwhelming odds. Those are values I still admire and try to emulate even today.

Many thanks goes to Sourlander and her excellent Loyalties series, for letting me incorporate Dr. Alex Lorne and her children Nora, Grace and Caleb into my 'verse. More adventures with Evan and Alex and family are welcome from you anytime.

As stated earlier this epic story is a love letter to the sci-fi genre I've been reading all my life, which taught me to think big when it comes to worldbuilding. Story inspiration comes from far and wide, particularly tales of space colonies both failed and successful, accidental and planned: Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover Landfall, Anne McCaffrey's Dragonsdawn, Jack L. Chalker's The Birth of Flux & Anchor, and the anthology Star Colonies (Martin H. Greenburg and John Heffers, eds.). Ursula LeGuin's Ekumen in her Hainish Cycle series is the model for the Stargate Commonwealth. Other elements come from the Cyteen trilogy by C.J. Cherryh (council government) and the alternate history anthologies What Might Have Been Vol. I & II, edited by Gregory Benford and Martin H. Greenburg (Ascended Daniel and Oma Desala's discussion).

Inspiration for elements of Atlantis Colony in particular comes from some incredible SGA fanworks on AO3: Speranza's Written by the Victors, LtLJ's Retrograde and Retrograde Extras series, ArwenLune's Rock Happy 'verse and Atlantis Program for Essential Skills Training, Three Fates by auburn and eretria, Wild Card by GillianInOz, Domenika Marzione (domarzione)'s version of Atlantis with its extensive cast of OCs, and The Body Holographic by Leah (Taste_is_Sweet) and springwoof. All are absolutely fabulous and mind-blowing, I cannot recommend them enough.

Once again my profound thanks to you, dear readers, for taking a chance on this modest AU. I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I did writing it. Feedback is greatly appreciated, and will always be. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Peace to you all. May we treat each other kindly and with respect, and strive together to create a better future for everyone's sake.

Take care,

Tanista

April 2019-June 2021
