Why This Must Be Read: In the middle of S8, while Daniel was busy getting beaten up by Vala in Prometheus Unbound, Sam suffered the trauma of dealing with her Replicator double in Gemini. In this lovely story, Abyssis gives us the two of them, a little drunk and a little maudlin in the aftermath… but also coming to a lovely, gentle understanding.

 

There’s the charm of their attempts to one-up the insanity of their lives, and the sober acceptance of knowing what capabilities simmer just beneath the surface. With an intriguing look back at Absolute Power and the warmth of the support that friendship offers – the key that “makes all the difference” – you’ll find that Metaphors and Beer Bottles makes a satisfying tag to these episodes. Read and enjoy!
