Title: Beneath the Stains of Time
Author: Annerb
Prompt: Any. "Everyone I know goes away in the end." From the song, "Hurt"
Summary: 50 years after the extinction of the human race, Jack O’Neill wakes to discover that he may be the only one capable of undoing it, but not without a price.
Classifications: Apocafic, Angst, Sam/Jack established relationship, some Daniel/Vala, Jack/Vala friendship/ust
Rating/Warnings: Mature. Adult themes, complex timelines, and apocalyptic tragedy(duh).
Spoilers: Everything through the end of season 10 is fair game.
Author’s Note: This story takes place in a vague post-season ten future where the movies never happened, but completely ignores the canon established in ‘Family Ties.’ I am unabashedly going fanon for Vala’s background. Just wanted to warn you. Oh, and the title is borrowed from Johnny Cash’s Hurt (lyrics provided at end). Special thanks to

triciabyrne1978 for the betas. You all saved my sanity. Any remaining mistakes are my own.
