Why This Must Be Read:
If he had to divide his life, the last fifty years, into chunks, he could do it by women. He had started out life as the oldest son of a patient, adoring mother. In a way, Sara calling him up on his birthday four months after their wedding, taking up the torch from his mother by being the one to remark on his moment of birth, could be seen as the real start of The Sara Years. Between those two eras had been a long stretch without a specific woman, made up of teammates and parachutes and one night stands.

He could describe the last five years by a lot of things but, in keeping with the theme, he wanted to ascribe them to Carter

It's a sweet fic about Jack on his 50th Birtday, contemplating his half century, his life, his ex-wife and his 2IC. Post-DC fic set in early Season 5. Definitely worth a read.
