Why This Must Be Read: First published back in 2000, this is one of the first friendship / family fics I found, way back then, to do with Cassandra ... and it's the only one I'd found that addressed the question of just what to do with an alien child who has lost her entire family, suffered trauma, and been stranded on a strange world. All of SG-1 plus Janet and Hammond are represented, each striving to find the best solution. Most of all, I love that this story explores that question not only from the point of view of the adults, but also lets us hear - in a poignant, touching scene - from Cassandra herself. This is a truly lovely story.
"A child who has dealt with such a loss knows how to cherish what she has. Cassandra will appreciate being with people who care for her far more than those not in her circumstances would appreciate."
Janet shifted uncomfortably. "We all care about Cassie, but we will find a suitable family for her."
Teal'c rose. Janet's eyes followed him up. "Dr. Fraiser, Cassandra is as much an alien in this society as I am. She does not understand the customs. She will not understand these other children without much work. Any family you might find would have to be aware of that fact…or would you ask Cassandra to keep this a secret?"
"We are looking among SGC personnel…"
Teal'c interrupted her…a first. "So it is only Captain Carter who is inappropriate?"
