Why This Must Be Read:

This is just a nice little story with Sam and Daniel on Atlantis. It's also got a great Sam POV and we get to see through her eyes, the Daniel that just delights in learning and exploring. It's stuff like this that I love about this pairing. They have so many similarties that they just connect, and a lot of things don't even need to be said out loud, as this fic demonstrates.

Daniel stood on the balcony of Atlantis, overlooking the ocean and the city sprawling to the West and there was such a simple joy on his face that it pained Sam to note that she’d been so used to the serious and damaged Daniel, she’d almost forgotten what this looked like.

They're both kind of drunk, Daniel a little bit more. Then, they have sex in Jack's truck. And Jack? Well, he knows this. This is a quick read and it's just great.

Isomeric by Jennghis Khan (NC-17)

Why This Must Be Read:

This is an episode tag from Ex Deus Machina. The author takes the "Not Exactly" line and makes it into a Sam/Daniel story. And this has a terrific Sam. It's a Sam that now knows what she wants despite her previous partners. This is PWP that has actual depth. The two of them meld together perfectly in this fic.

Why This Must Be Read:

I was making my way trhough my friends list this afternoon when I found this one which I somehow missed. It's a lovely fic with just Sam and Daniel in bed (no sex, so...). It shows what I love about this pairing, that they can just be themselves together. They're just similar with their pursuit of knowledge and have the same desires.

"Hmm," Daniel mumbled from behind her. She felt him shift under the sheet and slide closer to her. While stifling a yawn, he leaned into her, draped his arm around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder. "What is this?" he asked sleepily.

Sam grabbed his arm and tucked it under her own, making sure to keep him close, before tilting the magazine so that he could see. "They're not even close. Do you see this?" She jabbed her finger at the fifth paragraph on the third page. "They're still speculating between the Inverse-Compton theory and the Synchrotron Radiation theory."
