Why This Must Be Read:

I stumbled across this story about a year ago and have loved it since. Set at the retirement party for Gen. George Hammond, Partay paints a picture of life for SG-1 between seasons 8 and 9. The passion between Sam and Jack simmers from start to finish and gives fans of this pairing a pleasing resolution. In addition to the classic roster of SG-1, Cam Mitchell, Cassie Fraiser and the command staff of Atlantis are portrayed wonderfully well. Partay is a glimpse of the people who make up the Stargate Program during a time when everyone is making transitions, both personal and professional.


He spent the rest of the ride to the ridiculously lavish hotel where this event was taking place playing with her rings, tracing the bigger, round stone in the middle and the two smaller, dark blue triangles on the sides. “Sam, how come you wanted to change, you look great,” Daniel asked.

Sam shrugged. Cassie answered for her. “Same reason she wouldn’t get that dress in pink – she wanted to blend in with everyone else. We finally compromised and I let her get it in the same color half the room will be wearing.”

“You have never blended in with everyone else,” Jack said seriously, speaking low and directly into her ear, but loud enough that everyone else in the car heard him anyway.

He pressed a firm kiss to her ear and tried to play with her hair again but Cassie said, “Don’t even think about it, Jack!”

“I like it getting longer like this,” he said by way of explanation, fiddling with one of the curls framing her face.

To keep the peace between Jack and Cassie, and to get the attention off of her hair, Sam tugged his hand away from her face and settled it in her lap instead, squeezing it with her smaller hand. He took the opportunity to flip his hand over, curling his hand around her leg through the thin fabric of the dress

“Get a room,” Daniel muttered.

“Yeah... I don’t think they should be allowed out in public yet,” Cassie declared with a snort as they neared the hotel, glaring at the two of them in a look that reminded everyone in the car of her mother.

“Jack should never have been allowed out in public,” Daniel agreed.

Jack and Sam merely smiled patiently at them, which further reinforced their friends’ opinions that they were now completely disgusting to be around, no matter how secretly thrilled all of them were on the inside that they were finally, officially ‘Jack and Sam.’

“Tonight is going to be very interesting my friend,” Daniel said as he and Teal’c became the first ones to get out of the car.

“Indeed,” Teal’c agreed, offering his arm to Cassandra.
