Inside The Dragon's Egg by Offworlder (R)
Show: Stargate SG-1
Rec Category: Samantha Carter/Jack O'Neill
Characters: Sam, Jack, Daniel, Teal'c, Janet, Hammond
Pairing: Sam/Jack
Het/Slash/Gen: Het
Warning: Faked deaths of young children
Author on LJ: Not sure
Author's Website: Not sure
Link: Inside The Dragon's Egg
Why this must be read: Seven parts to this. I recommend clearing up a lazy morning to read this... because you won't be able to stop. This is certainly one of the Stargate fics I admire the most, and very little of it has to do with the pairing. The way the author captures you and drags you into his/her world and into the psychology and inner torment of Sam's oldest child is incredibly daunting, yet completely gripping. This is a 'what-if' story in which Offworlder explores the idea that "the Ancient knowledge could be passed down genetically like the Goa'uld". Sam and Jack must face the consequences of a decision to condemn and put the weight of the Ancient's on the shoulders of a child, based from the 'Lost City' ep. At times this was difficult to read due to the dangers surrounding young children, but in a way it only serves to make this story that much more powerful. The only thing I would wish for is more 'in-between' moments with Sam and Jack. Otherwise, a complete privilege to read.
