Why This Must Be Read: Back in the day, this story was (and still is, imo) a 'must read' work in the hurt/comfort genre. While the 'hurt' part may not be everyone's cup of tea, a well-done hurt/comfort story serves to highlight deep bonds of loyalty and friendship ... and where that's concerned, this story is one of the best. All the characters play important roles, plus, for me, the commitment, caring, and commonality of purpose amongst SG-1 more than offsets scenes of violence. I also like the point-of-view choice the author made; imo the alternating sections of 3rd and 1st person pov are highly effective. Overall, this story is well-plotted, well written, and just a plain old really good read!
When I picked up the glass on the table and threw it at the wall, Carter winced as the shards scattered like wedding rice before pattering onto the floor, but she didn't look even slightly surprised. I darted her a sideways look. "What, you knew I was going to do that?"
"Having to sit around and wait for information is difficult for everyone."
"Go break a glass, Major."
She gave me one of those level looks that said there was so much crap she'd put up with because of my rank and the situation, but after that she was pulling IQ on me. "Does it help?"
