''What You Already Know'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/512261/MaureenT MaureenT]] is an AU of ''Series/StargateSG1'', starting mid-way through the seventh season and progressing from there until the end of the eighth season. As a result of biofeedback therapy sessions being given to the SGC, Doctor Daniel Jackson learns that he has returned from his Ascension with an array of psychic abilities, including telekinesis, pyrokinesis, psychometry, and the ability to see the future, among a few other abilities he develops later. With these powers, Daniel develops a reputation in the wider galaxy as the powerful and mysterious 'Dan'yar', and goes on to play a particularly key role in the war against the Goa'uld.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Doctor [=MacKenzie=] was just fixated on his own theories and hastily diagnosed Daniel with schizophrenia in canon, but here he is clearly portrayed as an agent of Robert Kinsey, attempting to support Kinsey’s agenda to get Daniel removed from the program by conducting a ‘psychiatric evaluation’ focused entirely on presenting Daniel as psychologically unstable with a god complex where another psychiatrist attended the same interview and diagnosed Daniel as being perfectly sound mentally

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Invoked when a hitman infiltrates Stargate Command and tries to escape in the lift; he instinctively pushes the button for level 28 while trying to escape, as he's naturally used to thinking of the higher buttons as referring to upper levels, with the result that he's taken deeper into the mountain when he doesn't know about the Stargate.



* ForWantOfANail: Everything changes for the SGC after Daniel Jackson unlocks his psychic potential, with changes including [[spoiler:Janet Frasier and Jacob Carter living to see the end of the war with the Goa’uld, Earth making plans to establish an official offworld colony in the Milky Way galaxy, and the threat of the Wraith and the Goa’uld being ended for good]].



* PragmaticVillain: [[spoiler:The Trust]] are willing to leave Daniel alone considering the damage he’s doing to the Goa’uld despite him being employed by the SGC, [[spoiler:but Kinsey’s actions lead to SG-1 learning about the existence of the Trust and dismantling it before it can actually accomplish anything significant]].
* PowerIncontinence: Daniel never loses control of his powers to the point of, for example, lighting things on fire by accident, but he is often frustrated by his prophetic abilities, which regularly give him just a sense of future danger rather than him a clear warning unless he actively tries to determine the reason for it.

* ProfessionalKiller: ''Heroes'' and ''Lost City'' feature Kinsey sending a hitman after particular targets. ''Heroes'' sees Kinsey hire hitman Winston Price to assassinate Daniel, initially in a manner that will look like an accident, such as a gas explosion or a car crash, but when he’s forced to help Price go after Daniel by infiltrating Stargate Command itself, [[spoiler:the killer is disintegrated by the kawoosh of an incoming wormhole]]. In ''Lost City'', Kinsey advises the Trust to send assassin John Benedict after President Hayes, but when [[spoiler:Kinsey tries to have Daniel killed as well, the Trust send Benedict to kill Kinsey as he’s proven to be unreliable, and Benedict subsequently dies in a car accident]].
