Why This Must Be Read:
This is another oldie but a goodie. On a 'routine' mission - aren't they all - Sam doesn't make it back. And, you knew this was coming, the boys gotta go back for her.
In a lot of ways, it's your typical adventure story. Sam has to take care of herself while the boys try to find her, and I think that's a lot of the appeal. Especially when the more recent episodes of the show seem to showcase the plot instead of character interaction, it's refreshing to read something set back in the 'good old days' when you actually felt that these folks gave a fig about each other.
I enjoyed the fact that Jacob gets involved, and that Sam is far more than your run of the mill damsel in distress and does a pretty good job of taking care of herself.
If you're in the mood for a good old fashioned 'go through the gate, get into trouble, get out of trouble, go home' adventure with a dash of real team action thrown in, this is a good fic to check out.

And just a slightly related note, the novel archive itself is a great place to find some older, longer, fic. Especially fic whose author's main site may no loner exist.
