Why This Must Be Read: The 'Sam and Jack get together' fic is an idea that's been done to death. And will continue to be done to death. (Just like the Jack and Daniel fic I would guess). But it is rare to find one where the characters are still IN character. And I think that's what I like about this one. There's no undying declarations of eternal love. No grand gestures, no serenading and 3,000 dollar diamond rings. Just two friends attending a funeral and having a discussion.
Ayiana does a good job getting the characters' voices down, I can almost hear Sam and Jack as they dance around the issue, saying the unsaid and speaking volumes with a silently spoken word.
If you don't like Sam and Jack, give this one a pass. But if you like gentle 'love' stories, then check it out. It's warm and fuzzy but never passes into the realm of pure smarm.
