The Stargate name and original characters belong solely to MGM, Double
Secret and Gekko Film Corp, as do references to events in the Season Five
episodes, "MERIDIAN" and "REVELATIONS"
However the title and storyline that follows belong to myself,

STARGATE SG-1
STORY
If Sam and Jack and Teal'c had gotten around to discussing their dreams a few hours later as they sat in the Briefing Room, they would've discovered they shared one important element. Daniel. Somehow, he had visited all their dreams. Or so it seemed.
General Hammond met them all in the Briefing Room at 10am.
"Good morning." He said.
"Morning Sir." Jack said.
"I have just given orders to have our visitor brought up to the Infirmary." Hammond still could not bring himself to say Daniel's name, that would be like admitting liability.
"Right O Sir." Jack said.
"Colonel, it's not like you to be so agreeable."
"Well, if you prefer, Sir, I can go back to being moody and obnoxious." Jack smirked.
"Erm, no, that won't be necessary." Hammond was taken by surprise. "Why don't you all follow me down to the Infirmary ?" Hammond and SG-1 arrived at the Infirmary just as two soldiers were bringing Daniel in. One of the soldiers had been challenged by Jack in the mess hall the day before. He glanced briefly at O'Neill and Carter and then kept his head down.
As decided the day before Teal'c kept guard outside the Infirmary as Sam and Dr Fraiser worked. Hammond returned to his office, leaving Jack to wander the corridors. He ended up in Daniel's old office. Actually it was still Daniel's office. The shelves and desk still had all Daniel's books and research on them, Sam used this office as a second study centre, she kept everything up to date and tidy. She wanted to keep things as they were, and now it seemed like this might just have been a good idea.
In the Infirmary, Dr Fraiser went through the usual tests. She compared each result to the previous results on file for Daniel. After the eye test, she took Sam on one side, "It's early stages yet, but the indications are favorable."
"Wait a moment, Janet." Sam said.
"Sure." Sam walked over to Daniel, "You'll be wanting these," She reached into the pocket of her lab coat and handed Daniel his glasses. Daniel looked relieved and touched. Sam had kept Daniel's glasses safe ever since the first few days after he had 'ascended'. She had found them lying on his desk and at the time had shed more than a few tears at the futility of life, the futility of Daniel's life.
"Thanks Sam." Daniel said, gratefully.
"Janet," Sam said, "I want to show you something. Daniel, hold out your arms." Daniel did this, Janet came closer and gasped. Any doubt she may have had, soon dissipated at the sight of very faint scarring on Daniel's arms. Looking at his face too, scars there. This was what Sam had noticed the night before. Daniel still bore the scars from radiation burns, the lasting legacy of exposure to high doses of Naquadria.
As far as Sam was concerned, this was Daniel. For her, the tests were merely a formality. She had believed it to be Daniel since she had been 'visited' in her lab, his words "It'll be OK." echoed in her head.
"I don't know how, but this is Daniel, no doubt in my mind." Sam said. Janet nodded in agreement. Janet then went to the door, Teal'c immediately jumped to attention, his staff weapon poised.
"There's no need for that, Teal'c, I'm going to speak to General Hammond." As she left, Teal'c glanced into the Infirmary.
"Is everything alright Major Carter ?" he asked.
"Yes. More than you know, Teal'c," Sam smiled, she felt so happy, Daniel had come home. Dr Fraiser informed General Hammond that the tests on Daniel were now complete.
"In that case, I'll have him returned to the holding cell, until we decide the next move."
"I don't think that'll be necessary." Janet said, "Our visitor is no threat. Daniel Jackson has never been a threat." Hammond was trying not to smile, "You are certain ?"
"Yes, 99% anyway, there's just the blood work to get back." Hammond, at last, allowed himself to smile.
