Why this must be read: When the damaged, more than heartsick alternate reality Samantha Carter from the episode Point of View kidnaps this reality's Jack O'Neill, with Daniel following, just before she destroys the quantum mirror, our Jack and Daniel are left stranded on the other side of the mirror with little hope of rescue. But alternate realities exist because they are different, and this one offers Jack and Daniel, and Jack/Daniel, opportunities they didn't have or never would have considered in their reality, leading Jack to question "How can things be so fucked up and so amazing at the same time?" With a deft mix of action, humor, romance, alternate reality building and spot-on character voices for Jack and Daniel, Civilians shows the reader what a difference a reality can make in ways that are entertaining, heartwarming and bittersweet.
Author's Summary: "AU ending to Point of View. What if the AU Samantha hadn't been able to let go of Jack?"
