It Can't Rain All the Time
by tir-synni
Okay, this is my first SG-1 fic,
so if there's any discrepencies, please, let me
know. Vidfic,
Daniel/Sha're angst, Danny whumping. Maybe
slight bit of j/d slash, just matters how you look at
it. Please, review.
Daniel Jackson, standing in a moonlit
desert. Behind his glasses, his
blue eyes stare blankly, glistening with tears.
We walked the narrow path,
beneath the smoking skies.
He stumbles, walking forward, his feet sliding in the
sand. Behind him, the Stargate looms, while Apophis's
ships drift above.
Sometimes...you can barely tell the difference
between the darkness and light
Daniel falls to his knees, only to encounter a
Do you have faith
in what we believe?
Stumbling once again, Daniel walks on, as the faces of Hathor, Ra, Apophis, Cronus, and so many others appear in the stars above.
The truest test is when we cannot...
when we cannot see.
The moonlight glistens off something left in Daniel's
footprints. It shines brightly, only to
fade, revealing Daniel's glasses lying in the sand.
I hear pounding feet in the

and it's hard to believe that
love will prevail
Daniel lies beside Sha're's
lifeless body, blue eyes empty before sliding shut.
Oh it won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
In a nameless parking lot, Daniel stands, drenched by the
falling rain. He doesn't move to get out
of the way. He simply drops his bookbag and lowers his head into his hands.
And though the night seems long
Amidst his chilled shivering, the shaking of Daniel's
shoulders is unnoticeable.
your tears won't fall forever
And in the falling rain, Daniel's tears are invisible.
Oh, when I'm lonely
I lie awake at night
and I wish you were here
Daniel lying awake in a large bed,
staring sightlessly up at the ceiling.
Sha're's name is on his lips.
I miss you
Silently, his lips move.
His voice doesn't say the words.
His heart already has.
Can you tell me
is there something more to
believe in?
Daniel stands alone in the desert, staring at something
before him. Swallowing, he closes his
eyes and turns his head away.
Or is this all there is?
Before him is Sha're's final
resting place.
In the pounding feet in the

Teal'c shoots, and Sha're falls. Daniel
collapses beside her, laying beside his wife for the
last time.
Oh it won't rain all the time
the sky won't fall forever
and thought the night seems long
your tears won't fall, your
tears won't fall
your tears won't fall
forever
Daniel, older, wiser, again standing in
the rain. He stands atop the SGC,
his tears mixing with the rain. Now,
though, his face is lifted to the sky, his lips moving in a silent plea.
Last night I had a dream
Daniel back at
You came into my room
Sha're walks in, older, but her
face is lit up with a brilliant smile
you took me into your arms
The pair embrace, Sha're
clutching her husband close, like she would never let him go.
whispering and kissing me
and telling me to still believe
Sha're kisses Daniel's lips, his cheek, up to his ear. Her mouth moves, whispering something over
and over, even as she peppers him with kisses.
But then the emptiness of a burning sea
against which we see
our darkest of sadness
Even as she holds Daniel close, Sha're
eyes remain black with grief. A tear
falls down her cheek, but she kisses Daniel before he can notice.
Until I felt safe and warm
I feel asleep in your arms
Clutching her close, Daniel relaxes against Sha're. Contented,
he allows his eyes to slip shut...
When I awoke I cried again
for you were gone
Oh, can you hear me?
...When he opens them again, Sha're is gone. Trembling, Daniel realizes it was just a
dream.
It won't rain all the time
Daniel, endlessly in the pouring rain
The sky won't fall forever
Daniel tilts his head back, allowing the sky to cleanse
his tears
And though the night seems long
On and on, the darkness burns, and
within it...
your tears won't fall forever
...Daniel cries.
It won't rain all the time
The rain begins to slow
The sky won't fall forever
The heavens begin to clear
and though the night seems long
The sun begins to rise
your tears won't fall, your
tears won't fall
A strong hand reaches out, wiping away Daniel's tears.
your tears won't fall
Daniel turns to meet Jack's understanding eyes
forever
Daniel smiles weakly at Jack, allowing the older man to
lead him back to SGC.
A/N: When I
originally posted this on ff.net, I had many reviews concerning the
ending. Yes, this is the ending. The story ended when the song ended. I'm sorry to end it on that note; that's just
how it came out. Just so you know, the last line was the end.
Reviews are always a must. Please
tell me what you think about it.
