Why This Must Be Read: Seems strange to be reccing a J/D fic in the Sam category, right? What drew me into this fic, what keeps me coming back to it, is Sam's journey through the story. I love exploring the darker sides and weaknesses of characters. Two of my favorite episodes are Absolute Power and Trinity. And much like Daniel and Rodney, one of Sam's weaknesses is arrogance in her abilities and her intelligence. In this fic, that weakness is exploited and Sam secretly makes what seems like a beneificial deal on the sureface, putting both SG-1 and Earth in danger. When she realizes she's made a deal with the devil, she struggles against Ba'al, her team and ultimately herself, as she tries to rectify a situation that's totally FUBAR. Like Daniel in Absolute Power and Rodney in Trinity, she walks away a little worse for wear, but knowing herself and her limitations better.
