Why This Must Be Read: This entertaining fic is set in early S8, when the members of the SGC – and especially General O’Neill! – are still adjusting to the idea of Sam as leader of SG-1.

The team find themselves negotiating a lucrative treaty with the Elidari, a largely matriarchal society, and Sam feels compelled to go native, complete with body paint and very abbreviated costume. There’s good natured give-and-take between Daniel and Sam (with Teal’c adding his own two cents), and the members of SG-12 staring fixedly at either their own boots or Sam’s left ear, and a really lovely look inside Sam’s head. But most of all, there’s solid, unwavering, unquestioning support from Daniel and Teal’c for Sam as their leader.

This fic is a delight. Go and read!
