Why This Must Be Read: This wonderful teamy fic, set shortly after Daniel's return at the beginning of S7, is a real favorite of mine. It's got a great Sam POV, written at a time when good Sam gen fics were all too few and far between; it creates an excellent backstory for an intriguing alien race that we only glimpsed on the show; it challenges our characters with thorny moral dilemmas, a staple of the show at its best; it offers the hint of skeletons in the Asgard closet, which is one of my favorite fic twists for some odd reason; and it's got solid gold teamy goodness, with all four characters working together and displaying true friendship and support under the most trying circumstances. 

Meeting of Minds practically defines teamy goodness. :)

Off-world exploration, the possibility of major cultural impact on Earth, breathtaking firefights, dramatic and emotional affirmation of SG-1's close bond – what more could you ask for?

…Did I mention that it's one of the best gen Sam fics, ever?
