Why This Must Be Read: Sam sits and waits until her hands stop shaking.

I have a special fondness for stories that hint at the real-life repercussions to the trauma that our beloved team experiences on a regular basis. In this gripping Five Things, Julie gives us a peek into Sam's mind, and the nightmares and memories she still suffers from the canonical invasions of her mind and her sense of self. Julie writes with spare, immediate prose, and you'll mind yourself shuddering along with Sam as she relives some of the most terrifying moments of her time at the SGC.

Short, painful, and real. Go and read.
