Summary: Now that they're back home, how do they begin to cope?

(touching)
I can hardly believe the stories they tell me. I feel fine. As long as I don't think about it.

Jack tells me I'm a hero, but I don't quite see myself as the hero type.

SG-1's on stand-down, for an indefinite period of time. That's for the best. My friends are suffering, and I wish I could help.

Jack's brought me home; says he's not letting me out of his sight. He's touching me a lot, but always hesitantly.

It's not hard to figure out why. Does it make me a hero, just knowing what needs to be done?

He's so normal it's spooky. God bless Thor, if that's not redundant.

I kept my word; told him everything. Almost.

Left out the part where he said he wanted to be touched. Maybe I'll work up the nerve to tell him later. Meanwhile, I'm trying to give him what he doesn't remember he wants. It's hard; I keep remembering him jerking away from me...

What's this?

Daniel's arms are around me, and suddenly I'm holding on way too tight, but he just strokes my hair...

I think I may be getting his collar kinda damp. Don't care. Never letting go.
