Title: Beneath the Stains of Time
Author: Annerb
Prompt: Any. "Everyone I know goes away in the end." From the song, "Hurt"
Summary: 50 years after the extinction of the human race, Jack O’Neill wakes to discover that he may be the only one capable of undoing it, but not without a price.
Classifications: Apocafic, Angst, Sam/Jack established relationship, some Daniel/Vala, Jack/Vala friendship/ust
Rating/Warnings: Mature.  Adult themes, complex timelines, and apocalyptic tragedy(duh).
Spoilers: Everything through the end of season 10 is fair game.
Author’s Note: This story takes place in a vague post-season ten future where the movies never happened, but completely ignores the canon established in ‘Family Ties.’  I am unabashedly going fanon for Vala’s background.  Just wanted to warn you.  Oh, and the title is borrowed from Johnny Cash’s Hurt (lyrics provided at end).  Special thanks to syxp, aurora_novarum, holdouttrout, and triciabyrne1978 for the betas.  You all saved my sanity.  Any remaining mistakes are my own.

This is breathtaking. Oh, man. Gorgeous, intense, sad and so Jack. I love your Vala, and everyone else is just spot-on as well.

Thanks.

Oh, that is beautiful and so sad, too. I weep for Jack and for Vala and the raw pain I felt from them both. When Sam discovers Jack holding his handgun I nearly couldn't continue. This story really does hurt.

(I also knew that sending you Johnny Cash was a good idea. Cam's choice of beer also hurts. Just, gah!)

Hope it wasn't too painful of a start to your day! Is that hurts so good? :P

Yes, Johnny was quite inspiring. The prompter never specified which version they were referring to (there is also a Nine Inch Nails cover of this song), but I went with Johnny in the end. His voice just gets me. That's a guy who has seen so much.

Thank you for reading and feeding so quickly! :)
