Hi! I'm sorry to bother y'all, but I'm looking for a particular type of Stargate fic to read, and since I thought I'd seen a fic like there somewhere (but now can't find it) I thought somebody here might be able to help me. Basically, I'm fascinated by this whole ascension/decension thing, and I'm looking for some more good fic to read that deals directly with it. I'm a very detail-oriented type of person, and I'm looking for long, involved fics that try to deal with all aspects of Daniel's ascensions and decensions back to mortality. And I don't just mean what all goes on while he's "gone" either. I mean fics that look at the what he was doing, what he was learning, what he was capable of, during the time when he was ascended. Has anybody written any fics that you know of that look at the process of ascending/descending - what it felt like, how he dealt with it, etc. - in any real detail? Because I'm simply dying to find some fic that deals more with Daniel's end of the process. I've seen lots of fic that deals with how the others tried to deal with Daniel's absence, but very few fics that deal with how Daniel took the whole process of ascending, what it felt like and how he dealt with it (all that knowledge/power), etc. I thought I read something that dealt more closely with Daniel's powers/knowledge while he was ascended the first time somewhere or another, but now I can't find it. And honestly, I'd like to find some more fic that similar to read now, too. It doesn't have to follow canon strictly, if you know of some fic that might fit the bill. In fact, I'm be just as happy to read something that doesn't follow canon exactly, so long as it deals with Daniel as an ascended being. So if anyone knows of anything that sounds like this, could you please, please, please pass it along to me? I would be forever grateful!!!!! Thanks so much, y'all!

Can't help you with finding a fic but I love your icon. Of course, didn't Pol run around as an Owl? Anyway, I still love the icon :)

Would it be Hound Dog (http://idyllictendencies.popullus.net/temphound.htm) by [livejournal.com profile] ladyflowdi?

This has been niggling at me forever -- I was pretty sure I'd read one like that and only just came across it again. Was it A Study in Immobility (http://www.area52hkh.net/asa/aces/immobility.php) by aces?

There's System of a Down (http://www.butcheredart.net/Fiction/SystemOfADown.html) by Mayaan, which describes a descended Daniel who has a hard time dealing with sensory input after being without a body for so long. So AUish. It's a collection of beautifully written snippets that tell the story in reverse order.

I know I read another one in which descended Daniel starts hallucinating people in the SGC, like a child speaking archaic French, until he realizes he's getting memories of people on other planets he saw while ascended, and the memories slowly come back of what he was, and mostly was not, able to do as an Ascended being. Can't remember title or author, but maybe someone else will recognize it. (probably a Jack/Daniel fic)

I don't know of any archives for it. Most of the fic I've seen around Meridian are "Meridian fix-it" stories in which Daniel doesn't die/ascend, or stories in which he ascends but comes back and/or communicates with his friends -- not canon.

The second story you were thinking of is A Mournful Rustling (http://www.fadedpress.com/fiction/sg1_mournful.html) by Otter.

Other stories I can think of:
-By Path of Night (http://www.area52hkh.net/ase/eos/path01.php) by Eos.
-Desolation Angels (http://salieri.bonuspoints.net/angel.html) by Salieri.
-Soul May Look and Body Touch (http://katiefic.shriftweb.org/Stories/Soul.html) by Katie M.
-Stone (http://www.livejournal.com/users/troyswann/278527.html?mode=reply&style=mine) by Salieri.
-Triptych on the Theme of Flesh (http://salieri.bonuspoints.net/triptych.html) by Salieri.
-Woe to Him That is Alone (http://www.area52hkh.net/aso/otter/woetohim.php) by Otter.

And I think I vaguely remember Sideburns having a story along the lines you're interested in, [livejournal.com profile] polgarawolf, but I'm not entirely sure offhand.

Yes! Thank you -- I love Otter's work. And that Sideburns story is The Eternal Heart (http://www.thealphagate.com/stories/TheEternalHeart.asp). Very much about what it's like for Daniel ascended -- I'd forgotten about that one.

A new one is Enoch by [livejournal.com profile] inyron in the SG1 team ficathon

And of course there is Mnemophobia by Tripoli, which may be more descended Daniel coming back to himself, but I liked it a lot.

Found another one that fits perfectly... Insubstantial (http://www.area52hkh.net/ask/keiko/insubstantial.php) by Keiko Kirin.
