Why This Must Be Read: This ficlet is a lovely character study of Sam and Vala, set against the backdrop of a handful of harrowing missions offworld. More understated than obvious, Beanpot gives both women shrewd insight and deep, mutual respect. They may seem entirely different on the surface, but this ficlet shows exactly how these two can be such good friends. Read and enjoy!
Sam got it - Sam understood. Vala would get an eye-roll or knowing grin or sad pat on the shoulder from Sam as Vala smiled, glanced through coyly downcast eyes, and walked triumphantly away with a plate of hot cookies. Or a toss of the hair and a shimmy in the walk while arguing for Daniel's release from the Ori-following tribe followed by a deep exhale and inhale that might have sounded like a sob. With hard eyes, Vala would curl up next to a tavern keeper on a planet while the boys would glare and scuff their boots, and Vala would walk away with information on the rumored Sodan survivors or another story on Merlin. Once home, Vala would stand under the streaming hot water for just a few minutes more and Sam would show up in her room with a bottle of wine and stories of her own.
