Why This Must Be Read: Sometimes, a fic is so good it makes you tear up a little -- this story is one of those for me. Not that it's an angsty tear-jerker; no, it's a relatively short piece that captures Teal'c so beautifully. He's alien. He's a warrior. He's an observer. He's cautious. He's weary. It all rings so very, very true with the Teal'c I know in my head.

Teal'c originally threw his lot in with the Tau'ri on a split-second decision to support Jack O'Neill; this is a Teal'c who is weary from battles and who finds himself starting anew, with a new commander, at a time when he has reached a crossroads and must decide how best to continue fighting for the freedom of the Jaffa.

Author's Summary: Post-ep for "Ex Deus Machina", season 9. Teal'c, Cameron, a little night conversation.

Thank you for the kind words. For what it's worth, I don't have a website but my fics (all four of them so far ... ) are linked at:

Thank you! I've altered the rec to include the link. I'm just very sorry that I've gotten out of practice in writing recommendations because this doesn't do justice to your work. I've been editing my recs endlessly for several days and had to just start posting before the month ended on me. *sigh*
