Why This Must Be Read: I should clarify that I absolutely hated Unending.

 

And yet, I rec this fic. That should tell you something. :)

 

One of the saving graces of Unending was the lovely friendship between Sam and Teal'c. In this charming vignette, Teal'c presents Sam with a keepsake - a memory that only he still possesses, but that embodies a woman he admires and cherishes.

 

With lovely metaphor and a tribute to Teal'c's grace and calm, Da Capo is a marvelous tag to what I personally consider to be a horrible episode. If you enjoyed Unending, you will simply find this utterly delightful; but if, like me, you hated it, I urge you to try this story anyway. You'll be glad that you did.
