The crossover with La Femme Nikita came after reading one more "The government finds out" fic. I can't even tell you which one. It occured to me that if Jim went up against a serious covert op (like SG-1 or Section), there would be no way he could win with all the resources the government could bring to bear... not without reaching the jungle where he would have the advantage. Then I got a weird little bunny where I imagined Jim being cut on, convinced that he was about to die and that he had caused Blair's death. It damn near made me cry, the pain Jim would suffer under those circumstances. Of course, I couldn't leave it like that, so then I came up with the idea that the surgery was a psych to try and manipulate them. Of course, SG-1 would never do that, and I didn't want to invent a totally new bad guy (because I was afraid of it sounding too much like the USSP), so I picked Section to be the bad guy. Then I just had to figure out how to create the plot that led up to the flash of inspiration.
