Why this must be read:  Really all of ALC Punk!'s fics are incredible, even the short and sweet ones. In this story, I don't know whether or not Sam should be flattered or creeped out. My shipper heart says to opt for the former ;). Loosely tied to the episode Ascension, Sam discovers that her house hasn't been fully cleaned out. It's always nice to see Sam test the boundaries of Jack's restraint, and even more so to discover that Jack still actually has to exercise that restraint.

Why this must be read: Holy. effing. wow. Astraperaspera is effing talented. This is timeless Sam/Jack, and cannon to a T. It's a riveting, hauntingly gripping plot as we watch as the population of Earth decline dramatically, leaving the people of SGC to pick up the pieces and find the solution. Every detail, every sentence, every word... wow. I could reread each one and find something new to love. Plus it's always satisfying to watch Sam and Jack find the strength in each other despite all odds. I can't find the words to describe just how good a read this was, and if you have an account I sincerely recommend crediting AstraperAspera for such an epic piece.
