Why This Must Be Read: Another fantastic Sha're AU (because really, SG-1 writers, there was so much more of her story to tell!) in which Sha're tricks Amaunet into going to Cimmeria... and meets Gairwyn after her passage through the Hammer.
I love how the two of them never connect Gairwyn's "friends from Midgard" with Daniel, husband to Sha're of Abydos. Instead, Sha're and Gairwyn share a comfortable, intelligent friendship, complete with interaction with the Asgard teacher that Thor left behind and interesting speculation on Shifu's fate. Here are two women from completely different cultures, connecting and communicating. Complete with the sweetest of happy endings, this story will leave you with a smile on your face.
When she opened her eyes next, she saw the canvas of a tent above her head. For a long moment, she thought she might be on Abydos in the tent she shared with Daniel; the Goa'uld's possession of her no more than a nightmare. But as her eyesight sharpened, she knew the material was different to that used for the Abydos tents, but it was not Goa'uld and she breathed out in relief.
She lifted a hand – she could lift her hand! – and rubbed at her forehead; her head ached as though she had sneaked too much of Father's wine. Images and thoughts tumbled through her; some she recognised from her past, others she did not. She trembled under the heavy swathe of blankets and burrowed into their warmth.
'You are awake, child?' A brown-haired, handsome woman moved into Sha're's eye-line. She was dressed warmly; a grey tunic over similar coloured leggings and a wine-red cloak, fastened with a gold brooch.
Her eyes were kind but Sha're inched back warily.
'You are with friends.' The woman said understandingly. 'You are safe here on Cimmeria. The demon within you is gone.'
