Why This Must Be Read: Here is another special fic that I’ve been waiting a long time to rec. It’s not an actual story; rather, as the title suggests, it’s scraps and scribbles from Sam and Daniel’s life, showing their evolving friendship over the first five seasons of SG-1. The links are image heavy; keep that in mind if you’re on dial-up.
Rigel offers us a wide range of carefully designed glimpses – their doodles during briefings, the note Sam wrote after Sha’re’s death, the tally of their running competition during Upgrades. Many of these are taken directly from canon, like the increasingly-silly exchange of Post-It notes about Cassie and the certificate of merit (in Ancient!) that Daniel creates for Sam. Others simply reflect their characters, including Sam’s dozens of “while-you-were-out” notes and the stuffed toy Daniel leaves for Sam in a cardboard box. You will find these funny and warming and poignant and heartbreaking in turns – especially when you get to Sam’s final, crumpled note, written at the end of S5.
This tribute to Sam and Daniel’s friendship is beautifully unique and an absolute joy!
