Why this must be read:

When I first read this, I was just expecting a good, fun jaunt through a quantum mirror fic. I got it, but what I got was so much more. Sami's characterization of Daniel is something else. Everything that made me just love his character in the TV series is right here. He's an awe-struck archeologist, an out-of-the-box thinker, a caring and compassionate friend, a subtle diplomat, and a man who would rather sacrifice himself than his friends. The reader gets to see what this fascinating man means to his teammates and how he sees himself.

The characterization of the other team members is also so spot on. Sam's her logical yet willing to see other sides self. Jack is the same sarcastic yet protective Colonel. And Teal'c still provides a secure bulwark against danger.

On top of all that good characterization, Sami-J has written in a darn good mission and first contact plotline. Plus a quantum mirror and alternate realities and you've got a story that just made me wriggle in my seat with happiness.
