I usually don't like reading Sam ship fics. I've read far too many in which the Sam Carter character I know (scientist, warrior, pilot) gets replaced by a simpering little girl child who's experiencing life affirming tru wuv with whomever. (Sorry if I offend anyone, but that's my strongly felt opinion). That's why I took this category this month to see if anyone could write Sam in love, not luv.
This is why Against All Odds is such a good read. Samantha is military and she loves Janet. She doesn't lose who she is just because she's involved with Janet. Janet's parents are concerned when they meet Janet's new partner - not just because Janet is gay, but because Sam is military, and they worry how the hardened warrier will balance with Janet's compassion. Plus side on this rec, Sam and the rest of the SGC goes to war, and events leave Sam in control of the resulting mess when her superiors are injured, and she manages to pull it off successfully. Meanwhile Janet's home, with the homefires lit, worrying about her lover.
