Why This Must Be Read: This delightful Five Things is set in Sam's time in Atlantis, and it's absolutely marvelous as Sam deals with familiar circumstances with an Atlantis twist. From wry humor to comfortable busywork to shuddering nightmares, this is perfectly Sam, with all her quirks and personality. Even someone like me, who has never watched SGA, can enjoy this excellent character study of the many facets of Sam. Go read!

The pair bickered back and forth endlessly, and once again Sam was finding herself smack in the middle, each extraordinarily stubborn man latching on to either her military or scientific half and demanding she declare them right. She had served this function for years, too many years, until the point where Jack and Daniel had learnt to solve their differences without her, and now it looked like it was about to start up all over again.

But, she suddenly realised, with one notable exception.

With the two men finally stopped outside her door, she raised a hand as McKay opened his mouth to state his case. “Work it out yourselves, gentlemen,” she said firmly, and slid the doors to her office shut.

Ignoring the two men making goldfish impressions through her glass walls, she sat back down at her desk and got back to work. It sure was nice being The Man.
