Part 1 of "If You Want to Go Far, Go Together".
 
Daniel stumbles into trouble on a mission, but neither he nor Jack could have imagined what they'll have to do before they are allowed to return home.
 
Author's Note(s): 
 
This is set sometime in Season 1, before episode 20 ("There But for the Grace of God")/the Apophis attacks Earth arc. There may be spoilers for any episodes before that in later chapters.
 
This installment can be read as 'gen' with a team lead/fatherly/brotherly Jack but just for full disclosure, part 2 is Jack/Daniel fanfiction.
