WARNINGS: (highlight to read) dark themes, language, violence, torture, attempted suicide, attempted rape. Canon mind control, canon drugging, canon rape. We all know what happened to Daniel during "Hathor" – this story will deal with some incredibly sensitive and potentially triggering issues, including discussion of PTSD triggers themselves and some statements that could be construed as victim blaming. Please tread carefully if you might be adversely affected by these subjects. If you would like more details before you read, please don't hesitate to contact me.



SUMMARY: Hathor is gone. The Earth is safe. But the victory has come with a painful price for the men of the SGC. Though Hathor no longer controls their minds, her drugs aren't letting them go without a fight. As if the physical damage she did wasn't enough, withdrawal manipulates their emotions, amplifying the most extreme. Jack and Daniel fight to to deal with their experiences at Hathor's hands, while one of them turns on the one he's sworn to protect, and the other turns on himself. But Hathor didn't leave empty-handed, and she'll stop at nothing to regain control of what she left behind.
