Why This Must Be Read:

If we're lucky, maybe the Stargate writers will give us a moment between Vala and Sam that's half as good as this.

There's fantastic characterization and respect for both women here, with Sam's insecurity as she returns to the team in "Beachhead" set against Vala's polished (and brittle) defenses. They're very different, but they're both survivors, and they do have one thing in common ...

I love this story! It's such a short read but it really packs in the characterization. Excellent rec.

Yup, I love stories that can pack a big punch in a small amount of space.

(Btw, have you seen there's a tealc_ficathon? *glee*)

Oh yeah, I have! There are some excellent writers signed up. Teal'c may not have quantity of fic but he'll damned well have quality. I can hardly wait until the fics are unveiled. Woot!
