Wow. Ow. I... this was incredible. So incredibly, beautifully f'd up. I can't imagine what it must have been like to live with these characters long enough to write the story down, and I'm glad I don't need to. I'm so glad you went there though, because this story needed to be let out into the universe.
Sometimes a story is so vividly drawn that it settles into what I think of as my "personal cannon" for a show and refuses to be budged. No matter how many times or ways it's made completely impossible, it will always find a way to be true in my head. This is definitely going to be one of those stories for me. Thank you for writing it.
On a (slightly) different note: I watched SG1: Continuum the day after reading this and it... colored... the movie for me. Complicated it. I may never know what the writers intended for some of those scenes...
