Why This Must Be Read: It's a relatively unusual flavour of Sam/Jack, this. Moody, sad and quiet. It's grey like smoke and drizzly clouds and prison walls... it makes you feel melancholy, and it makes you ache for the characters, who clearly won't be getting out of this unscathed, and maybe won't get out at all.
Sam and Jack - Sam especially - are battered and broken, changed by what's happened, but still recognisably, clearly them. Jenn's writing is just lovely - it's textured and beautifully evocative, giving just enough to let us see beneath the skin of the characters, but without spelling it all out; the writing between the lines is just as interesting.
So, if you want to read something that will leave you feeling like a rainy afternoon for the rest of the day (in a good way!), read this.

"You're not going to get what you want." Her voice is quiet in the chilled air.
"What?" He curls his fingers into the fabric of her coat instinctively. She's going to hurt him again. He can feel it already…
"By martyring yourself to me. I won't fuck you when it's over."
"You think I'm doing this to get laid, Carter? Jesus…" The anger rises, because she knows where to hit him. Knows that questioning his motives will get him going. And… he almost falls for it.
"I'll be incapable of loving anybody when I'm done," she states.
"Now who's being the martyr," he mutters, and he presses his lips against her hair.
