Why This Must Be Read: This wasn't the rec I planned on making today, but I saw this - and loved this - and couldn't help but rec it, as soon as possible!

Julie gives us a wonderful character study of Sam, made even better by the realization that Sam is perfectly self-aware of these "flaws" and accepts them as part of her life. There's her understanding of why it didn't work with Pete, and why it won't work with any other man who isn't part of SG-1; her love for speed, and how she translates it into her civilian life; and most of all, the knowledge that her vocation has irrevocably changed her, and that there's no going back.

It's short, as most "five things" are, but well worth it.
