Five times Daniel thought he was going to die
1. He thought he would die of grief. He thought grief might crush him as surely as the cover stone had crushed his parents, his hopes, his life. He was surprised and discomfited to learn that life went on.
2. He thought he was going to die when he stepped in front of Jack, and Ra’s guard fired his staff weapon. This marked the first time that he was right, but far from the last. He was shocked and grateful and shocked to learn that life went on.
3. Guilt, heartbreak, loneliness. He thought he would die when Sha’re was taken. But he had a purpose, a team, new and exciting discoveries on far-flung worlds. Loneliness still came visiting at night, when he was alone. But his heart slowly healed with time, as hearts do. The guilt will never go away, and new guilts are added to it, one by one by one.
4. He thought he would die of boredom. Somehow (and he has his suspicions), his bag of books never made it into the truck. And Jack doesn’t want him to talk because he might scare away the fish (he likewise has his suspicions regarding the actual likelihood of there actually being any fish, scared or otherwise.) The scenery’s not bad, of course. But he’s not done sulking yet. He’ll enjoy the scenery later, while plotting his revenge.

5. Sitting on the Arctic ice, watching his friends walk away, a Daniel thought he was going to die. Over a year later, that Daniel never saw death coming when it stopped him in mid-sentence. But thanks to a Mitchell, that Daniel never existed, never suffered. Did he?
