Updated May 28: I thought it might be fun if which episode this is creeps up on you, and my HTML-fu for highlight-to-read failed, so I put the episode name at the bottom for anyone who wanted to try reading without knowing the ep in advance.

Timestsamp coda to Five Ways Arrom Left Vis Uban Before SG-1 Showed Up.


A Few Weeks After SG-1 Showed Up

"Yep," Jack said definitively, defusing Daniel's animated -- OK, maybe a little frenetic -- defense of the significance of this cache of artifacts with the complete non sequitur of an affirmative that wasn't an answer. "Still as squirrely as ever."

Daniel stopped short, closed his mouth, cocked his head. Thought about the secrets tucked away in his head and heart, the cache of Jack-moments he stored up during the day and opened in his dreams whether he willed it or not, the love and desire that had constituted so much of the nameless yearning he'd felt in Vis Uban.
