[Fic: SG-1] And All Those Disappeared Children

Title: And All Those Disappeared Children
Rating: T.
Genre: Character study/quiet angst.
Beta: I want to make a joke about the liberal elements preventing me, but I feel like there's only so many references to that poem I can get away with here.
Continuity: Plays well with canon.
Prerequisites: Orientation in Season 6. Tag to Full Circle. Also something of a tag to To Hold Us To Earth, an earlier story which was a tag to Unnatural Selection, an episode which was a tag, of a sort, to Menace, which... oh, you get the point.
Summary: Well, I wrote in the damn wrist beads; seems only fitting I should write them out. And Jack and Sam practice the fine art of not talking about what they're talking about.

These lies mean that something in the nation wants to die.
What is there now to hold us to earth? We long to go.
It is the longing for someone to come and take us by the
     hand to where they all are sleeping:
where the Egyptian pharaohs are asleep, and our own mothers,
and all those disappeared children, who went around with us
     on the rings at grade school....

– "The Teeth Mother Naked At Last", Robert Bly
