Written for the Stargate Five Things on LJ for the prompt "Five lives a Daniel lived on the other side of the Quantum Mirror that our Daniel doesn't know about".

1) Daniel lived happily on Abydos with Sha’re and their 9 week old daughter when the SGC sent their message through the Stargate and subsequently came through to visit. The planet wasn’t visited by the Goa’uld and he chose to stay with his family rather than to move back to Earth. However, Jack was able to convince Daniel to work as a linguist for the SGC in exchange for water and medical aid for the Abydonians. Over the years he would occasionally join SG1 on archeology-related missions, or simply visit Earth to show Sha’re and his family his homeworld.

This reality never befriended the Unas or the Asgard, nor did they find the Replicators or Atlantis. They were, however, conquered by the Ori.

Luckily the SGC were able to open the Gate one last time and several hundred people were able to flee to Daniel’s new homeworld before the old one was blown to pieces by Earth’s planetary self-destruction.

2) Sarah Gardner didn’t give up on Daniel, instead she worked alongside him. She managed to convince him to write a book about his theory that the pyramids were landing platforms for spaceships, rather than to present it for their peers at the discourse.

The book included color photographs of many texts and pictograms and a word-by-word translation of each to prove his theory. The book became a bestseller and spawned several sequels, but he was still laughed out of academia. He still received several major grants from private benefactors to lead four digs in Egypt at the Giza Plateau. There was always someone who was willing to take a chance on the unlikely despite the overwhelming odds against it, especially if there was a chance that it could earn them wealth and fame.

Several years after the initial book was released he had a major breakthrough, unfortunately it was in the form of finding two intact stasis jars. By the time they realized what had happened Daniel was host to Osiris and Sarah was host to his queen Isis.

3) Egeria’s First Scholar, a Tau’ri slave named Daniel, had quickly risen in the ranks of the supposed Goa’uld queens court as he were able to translate texts that had mystified the Goa’uld for several millennia. In an effort to retain his knowledge for as long as possible she had convinced him to become a Tok’ra host under the guise that a minor Goa’uld had come to her to offer his services to her. He had accepted the offer mainly due to his friend Samantha’s experience with her symbiote, Jolinar.

Apparently Lantash and Jolinar had been in a relationship spanning over 600 years. Oddly enough it hadn’t been becoming a host that weirded him out the most; it was suddenly being in a long-term relationship with two symbiotes and a fellow slave who had been his friend for years. Sam had only laughed and told him he would quickly get used to it, and that he would soon realize that there were many benefits to being blended.

Having instant access to Lantash’s genetic memory had proven to be a major bonus, and had helped him put many things into a better focus. It had also given him a much better understanding of many Goa’uld dialects, which had been useful in his quest to translating the old texts for their queen.
