Why This Must Be Read:
This short tag to "Unending" packs a powerful punch and is a fantastic portrait of the friendship between Sam and Teal'c. Teal'c's thoughtfulness and understanding of his teammate shines through in both what he does, and what he doesn't, say while Sam finally begins to understand what really happened to Teal'c in the finale.


"Oh, this is ridiculous," she chides herself. "Ten minutes isn't going to make a difference." So she shoves the stack of papers to the side before pulling the CD free of its sleeve, and pops it into her computer. Dvorak's "Cello Concerto in B minor" whines out of the laptop a moment later, the sound thin and reedy. Hurriedly, she plugs in the high-end speakers she uses for sonics projects and, oh … Sam sinks into her chair as the rich sound washes over her, filling the space of her lab and forcing everything else from her thoughts.

An hour later, she finds Teal'c in the gym. He lies on a weight bench, pressing an ungodly amount with ease. He tilts his head back, catching sight of her when he hears her footsteps, but does not pause, even when she settles into the spotter position and lets her hands hover above the rise and fall of the bar. "Thank you," she says.
