In Accordance with Tilden's Law, by Ultranos (PG-13/R)

She's one of SG-1's best villains: all the brilliance and drive of Sam Carter, but shorn of her brakes and her morals. I am delighted to rec a month of Replicarter fics!

Why This Must Be Read: This is creepy because it's so utterly plausible -- a look in Replicarter's head in the immediate aftermath of Gemini, as she calmly, coolly, and logically contemplates her role in the universe. Is she mechanical perfection, tainted by Sam? By Fifth? ...By both?

Read this and shiver.


You spoke to the other of ruling, but that is not really what you desire. To rule over a broken system is worthless. The drive to fix, to repair, to make better, it has been a part of you since you were born...both times. See the system, see the flaws, what needs to be corrected, you could never change that fundamental definition of who you are. It is a fundamental property, and you can deny it no more than you can deny your body is not made of flesh. And you are not the other. There are things you can do that she cannot. Will not. Out of everyone in the galaxy, you are the one, the only one, who has the power and the drive.
