Things Fall Apart

Summary:

Jack realizes how things fall apart without Daniel to hold them together. (Spoilers for "The Light")

Work Text:

Dear God. I know I'm not that strong, but Daniel...

he feels like he doesn't weigh anything.

Or maybe I'm just that desperate.

I can't believe how easy it is to pick him up and carry him over my shoulder. Through the Stargate, back to that three-times damned planet because I can't bear to lose him. Not that I'll ever tell him that. The flatline on his heart monitor... I've heard it a hundred times in the infirmary, but this time it seemed like that sound was the only thing in the world.

Like *he* was the only thing in the world.

Come on, Daniel. Don't leave me now. You've pulled me back from the abyss more times than you'll ever know; let me help you now. Come on. Wake up. Please.

The End

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
--The Second Coming, by W. B. Yeats
