You'll have to read this in sequence for it to make any sense. Or at least we hope it'll make sense.

SPOILERS: This covers everything up until 'The Light,' so major spoilers for just
about every episode up until then.

references to most of the past episodes of Season 1 and 2, as well.
RATING: R. Strong language, mild sexual situations, violence, adult themes, substance abuse.

CONTENT WARNING AND AUTHORS' NOTES: Please note that this story deals with the very difficult and serious issue of addiction and substance abuse. We tried to handle this as sensitively and as realistically as possible, but please be aware that this may not be an easy story to read.
We have taken major liberties with canon, interspersing our own original plotline along with the actual events of the show, but there is nothing in canon to suggest what we came up with is actually `true.' Then again, there's nothing that says it isn't... But hey, that's what fanfic's all about right? Think of this as a pseudo-AU, a �what if story,� if you will.
SUMMARY: Daniel's dangerous coping mechanism is finally taking its toll.
