Why This Must Be Read: Legacy is one of those episodes that has been tagged, fixed, expanded, and rewritten by countless authors. Yet Magistrate puts a completely unique spin on things in this story, because it was Sam, not Daniel, who was infected by Machello's tablet. And this is Jack, who really Doesn't Want to Talk About It, discovering that he has to talk about it anyway.
Fabulous characterization (but what would you expect from a Magistrate fic?), powerful emotion in an unexpected off-world setting, just the right touch of competent team, and the Jack and Sam friendship that I love: mutual respect, honesty, and watching one another's backs.
Even concussed, Colonel Jack O'Neill can be damned perceptive when he needs to be. At the moment, all of that damn perception is just feeding the growing certainty that Carter hasn't actually looked at him since the debacle of PY3-948.
And suddenly he knows exactly what she's been doing, locked away inside her mind these past few weeks.
"...Carter," he says, and he can hear the realization breaking in his voice. Carter flinches away. Back in that holistic data system of a brain of hers, she's been checking all the drawers. Inventorying everything that was supposed to be in her mind, going over all the files and systems that had been ransacked first by Machello's devices and then MacKenzie's drugs, and likely panicking at every misplaced post-it and record out of order.
Apparently she's found one.
