Why This Must Be Read: This story was written for me as part of the sheppard_hc 2011 Summer Fic exchange and it was the story I wished I'd written myself. Another 'hurts but in a good way' recommendation from me. The Team is fractured and unbalanced without Teyla and everyone is walling themselves off in little islands of pain. Ronon reaches out to John but John's just 'fine'. Yes, this story made me cry, but it ended so perfectly that I forgave all of zinfic.

Characters: Samantha Carter, Jack O'Neill

Why This Must Be Read: This is a fantastic episode tag for Scorched Earth, with a worried Sam thinking of future repercussions and an intelligent Jack using his unique brand of deviousness to offer a possible solution. I love the way this leads so naturally into the events of Chain Reaction. It's an excellent glimpse at the military half of both Sam and Jack -- and their friendship, too.
