As Jack pulls away from Daniel, Sam comes to a painful realization. Is the trio's friendship strong enough to survive the surprising revelation?


Why This Must Be Read:

I read this story quite a while back and found it to be a nice wrap up for the episode "Grace". "Grace" turned out to be one of my least favorite episodes of the series and I found it disturbing that after everything that had happened in the series the writers still seemed to be clinging to the Jack/Sam storylines. I'm not a big fan of that pairing and this story helped to smooth out some of the parts of the episode that I found disappointing (for lack of a better word). Enjoy!

Why This Must Be Read: This is a really wonderful look at the episode Reckoning from a Sam/Daniel romantic angle. Especially the mind battle between Daniel and Replicator Sam. It's a lovely helping of angst as Repli-Carter peels away the desire in his mind and then torments him with it. Daniel finds out things he would rather not know about someone he considers a good friend, and things that cut him to the core considering the feelings for her that he has buried deep.

It's a story by an author who has only surfaced a few times in the Stargate fandom, and her work is sort of hidden among the archives of the S/D Rebellion Yahoo list. She gave me permission to post her work a while ago, and I think it's worthy of being shown to the masses. ;)

Why This Must Be Read: I love dreamy, angsty, short fics. This one fits that perfectly. It takes place during Threads as Sam hovers in a mixture of fear, dread, sadness and pain. There's a lovely Apocafic thread running through this that's very dreamy and emotional, and the last line gets me every time.
