Hello! I'm stargazercmc, and I'll be recc'ing Gen for you this month. This is my first time recc'ing for stargateficrec, so do be gentle with me. Now, on with my first rec.

Rec Category: Gen
Pairing: None
Category: Gen, Sam, pre-canon
Warning: None

Why This Must Be Read:

There was a ton of amazing gen fic produced for the 2006 Sam Carter Ficathon, but this is one of the ones I go back to read and re-read.

What happens when your life has been trained towards one constant goal and then that goal is taken completely out of your reach? Set pre-canon, Amilyn's Sam is tough, smart, beautiful, hard-working... and oh, so alone. This Sam Carter is canon for me, and watching "Secrets" the other night made me realize even more how well this work slides right into Sam's backstory. Go. Read. Enjoy.
