Why This Must Be Read: This is a gorgeous post-series Sam and Daniel friendship piece, with Cam as the catalyst to help the Wonder Twins remember that there's still a little wonder left in the universe. Gentle, thoughtful, bittersweet, and feeling just right.


Sam leaned into his shoulder and joined him in watching the light play across the spires. “We’ve been on the front line for over ten years. We had to be absolutely single minded, Daniel. The last couple of years were relentless. But we won. We’ve never had this much time for exploration and research. I’d forgotten how much fun that can be. We don’t have to look for weapons behind every wall.”

The silence stretched out again.

“I… miss… who I was. Before…”

Sam pulled away from the pillar and leaned closer. “All soldiers do.”

He gave her a sharp look, but didn’t argue.

Reaching over, she tapped him on the chest. “You’re still in there, and there’s nothing wrong with who you are now. But you might want to let that other Daniel out more now. It's safe, y'know.”
