cm_tropefic ficathon and I had to instantly jump and rec it once I finished reading and caught my breath.
One of the things that I've always loved about Cam Mitchell was his stubbornness, his tenacity and love of life and doing what is right as he moves forward to do what needs to be done. And this story captures that tenacity and you really can't help but be awed by it until the very end of the story.
Snippet:
When he finally finds Carter, it's too damned late. He'd followed her trail through their broken-down plans to a crumbling high school just outside of destroyed, Lucian-run Sedona – but she was already dead, splayed on the stairs to the school's gymnasium, buried under fallen rubble, her head cracked in with some kind of blunt object and her long blonde hair matted with blood too brown to be recent. And the baby --
-- the baby was trapped too, but alive, her wide eyes frightened, connecting with Cam's, wailing --
Cam doesn't think. It's Grace, after all. He moves.
Three seconds too late, he realizes that the rubble had been placed on top of Sam and that the whole damned thing is a trap.
He doesn't see where the Lucians came from, but he puts up a good fight nonetheless, as befits the leader of SG-1 – one bullet in Stoneface's head, another in Skinny's gut, a few teeth knocked out of the mouth of some guy that could have been Ventrell's brother. But in the end it's the warlord Massim Elait himself that shoves Mitchell against the wall of the old gymnasium, causing pain to lance through his teeth and down his neck, his opponent growling his victory like an animal might. The surviving Lucians bind Mitchell's hands and feet in the meantime; Elait's teeth are ragged and his breath unkempt, sour with too much wine. His words are hot in Mitchell's ear.
Nearby, the baby cries.
