Why This Must Be Read: To quote the original prompt: There must have been a closed time loop when SG-1 ended up stranded in the future, before Cassie and/or Sam somehow got word back to the past to have Cassie waiting at the right moment. What was life like for Cassie in the loop where SG-1 never came back from 1969?
Yvi did a fabulous job of creating an entire alternate reality in which SG-1 never came back. Her world's history is rich, detailed, and realistic: the Jaffa are more wary of the Tau'ri without Teal'c, the Asgard have less to do with them without Jack, and there is little information on the Ancients without Daniel. On the other hand, there are the fascinating twists of this other reality, including Furlings, the program gone public, victory over the Goa'uld, and a certain civilian becoming head of the SGC.
Cassie gets a long, satisfying life, including marriage and a family... and then she knows she's going to live another one, all over again.
Full disclaimer: the prompt that inspired this story was mine. Yvi did a great job with it, didn't she? :)
At twenty-two, just days after receiving her Bachelor's degree in Biomedicine, Cassandra went into General Landry's office and asked him for a job. She didn't want to do field work, she wanted to do research on ways to fight the Goa'uld.
The general was reluctant at first, but welcomed her with open arms when she told him of some ideas she had had about Goa'uld physiology and how to block their neurotransmitters so that only the Goa'uld would die and not the host.
She started work exactly ten years after SG1 had last stepped through the gate. There had never been another team designated SG1 afterwards.
Very few of the personnel still knew her. There were a few nurses who had been there when Cassandra had come through the gate, too frightened to really notice them and she remembered Sergeant Siler. But so many had died in those ten years.
So many deaths she never knew about, so many funerals she never attended.
The day she was introduced to the science team as a new researcher and started her training, she promised herself again that she would make them proud. Sam, Daniel, Janet, the dead soldiers, scientists, engineers and all the others. This had to end.
She would make them proud.
