Why This Must Be Read: This is a rare treat in this fandom – a Daniel and Sam friendship fic. So rare I usually don’t even look for these types anymore but when I find one I jump on it. A strong Sam and Daniel mixed together. This is a vignette more than a truly realized plot. We don’t know the details of why Sam and Daniel are in the situation they are in, but the character study is well thought out. Another element I love is that Sam has to be the Air Force Major she is commissioned to be and must pull them out of the situation – you have to love a strong woman. This doesn’t diminish or feminize (is that a word?) Daniel in anyway. He is still the astute, strong man but he is in need and Sam must rise to the occasion. In some ways, I wish this fic was longer to explore their relationship…something that is sorely lacking during some seasons of our beloved SG1. Enjoy!
