A/N: I am really sorry this took so long, but here it is at last. My Magnum Opus is complete.

SG-0 Epilogue:

1: Jack & Sam

Back in the SGC, Sam had relieved Davis and discovered that the press really were besieging the place. Only the Wildfire lockdown order had kept the base secure so far.

"So, Paul, what've they been asking?"

"Oh, all sorts. Mostly about the current crisis and your relationship with the other members of the team."

"Lovely."

"Yeah, about that…Jack I want to talk to you later. Paul, I'll give a press interview later. For the love of God don't let them on the base."

"Will do, Ma'am."

"And tell them that the current crisis is over. Over for good. The Ori are dead. All of them. Forever."

"Really?"

"Yep. The Others wiped them out with our assistance."

"That's good to know. I'm sure the world at large will be reassured."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"So, Carter, you wanted to talk to me?"

"Yessir. I'm resigning."

"You're what???"

"Resigning. The SGC doesn't need me any more. The Goa'uld are gone, the Tok'ra will wipe out the rest as soon as they have Egeria, the Ori are permanently out of the question, no Replicators, the Asgard aren't in any immediate danger – Heimdall's research was going well last I heard – and the Wraith never were my problem, though I'm told that Atlantis've found their own Dakara."

"So?"

"These last years have actually been pretty boring."

"Join the club…we've got jackets." Jack turned, showing off his SGC uniform.

Sam chuckled. "Jen can handle the base as well as me from here on out. The larger galaxy doesn't need me. But Earth does. They're going through a period of chaos, there are wars, famines, diseases, you name it. I'm a hero, they'll follow me. I'm running for President in the next election."

"Really? That's great!"

"And there's one important bonus."

"Oh?"

"I can serve my country, my planet and one very special guy all at once."

"I thought Pete was gone."

"Oh, he is. Long gone."

"Then who…?"

"Don't be dense, Sir. Anyway, remember Daniel's planetoid?"

"Forever. ….. Hey, does that mean…?"

"Yes it does…Jack."

"Sam!"

"Please, not until the resignation's gone through."

"How long will that take?"

Sam picked up the phone and pressed two. "Hi, Henry? This is Sam…Yes, it went great…For everybody. We're going to resurrect Egeria…Yes, Sir. No, Sir, that's not what I called about. Well, Sir, how would you like the list of Presidents to read Hayes, Durrant, Hayes, Carter? …Yes, Sir, that's right. …Not, that's not entirely why, but…if my resignation could be sped through? Thankyou, Sir. … Thankyou, Sir. That'd probably be very helpful. Yessir, he's here now. … Thankyou again, Sir, goodbye."

"So…who's one on the ol' speed dial?"

"Um…you, Sir."

"Really?"

"Yep. And, the President said that my resignation is through as of as soon as the General of the Air Force approves."

"I do."

"Isn't that my line…Jack?"

"C'mere, you."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"That was one hell of a press conference."

"Yes, it was."

"You do realise that it's going to be all over the internet."

"What, us kissing? I don't care. Anyway, they don't know the whole truth."

"What do you mean?"

"They're going on about 'the shortest engagement outside Vegas'. Little do they know it's the longest."

"What?"

"You don't remember?!"

"Don't remember what?"

"The day we were both between assignments. The one day we were free. You said you'd do anything I wanted, and I said even wait?"

"And I said yes and gave you that ring."

Sam pulled out her dog tags. "Yes."

"I couldn't remember, Sam. It hurt too much. The fact that we knew, and we were OK, and that we had to just ... wait."

"Not anymore."

2: Daniel

"So. Finally you take your place here."

"Finally I can do more good here."

"You still cannot interfere."

"I know. But I can help others to Ascend. And that, right now, is the most good I can do."

"And we can be together, my Dan'yel."

"Yes. Together, we're unbeatable."

And in the glowy tendrils of the Ascended Others, rumour has it that there was a smile.

3: Mitchell & Vala

(Rumour was correct – these two were delighted at the happiness of all of their SG-1.)

4: Jonas

Go to Sarah, Jonas. She'll need your help. Yours, and Kianna's.

"I will, Daniel."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Hello?"

"Hi. Sarah Gardner?"

"I don't do interviews, Mr...?"

"Quinn. Jonas Quinn. I'm not here to interview you, Miss Gardner. I'm here to introduce you to my wife. Kianna?"

"Hello. Forgive me, but i don't do interviews to peoples' wives either."

"I'm not a journalist. I'm an ex-host."

"What?!"

"Our cases aren't quite the same, my Goa'uld fell for Jonas in a big way, so when it was dying, it left me for him."

"Osiris would have done as much for Isis. He was unusual like that."

"Daniel sent us because he thought that now he's wandering around the Higher Planes twining tendrils with Sha're, you might like somebody to talk to."

"Thank him for me."

You're welcome, Sarah. you were a good friend these last few years. Least I could do. Besides, It'll be good for Kianna to have somebody to talk to about this.

A/N: So they all lived happily ever after.
