This is a pre-relationship story. It covers how Sam and Jack could have met in the “Continuum-verse” and how they might have had a chance for something more. It’s short , fluffy, romantic and angsty at the same time.

Why this must be read:

An incredible look at a superpower that is more painful than helpful. Rodney has the ability to go into the past two whole minutes. While growing up, he explored different ways he could play with this and make his life easier; however, he discovers that two minutes doesn't change a lot in the larger scheme of things. Until he joins the Stargate program and Atlantis. Now those two minutes are extremely precious and horrifyingly sad. The whole Brendan Gaul bit... Wow... I starred at the screen for minutes on that one!  And the "Don't touch that!!" screams Rodney's famous for... Very nice touch. I adored this exploration of Rodney and how a superpower can mold the person who carries it. I know you'll adore it as well.

Story Summary: Two minutes. Two precious minutes.
