Why This Must Be Read: Salieri is always a master at wordcraft. This breathless story is no exception.

The story unspools from the muddled POV of a badly-hurt Sam off-world, as she absorbs the deeply affectionate care with which Mitchell and Teal'c and Daniel and Vala, each in turn, work to keep her alive. The reader absorbs Sam's pain and bewildered perceptions, deeply moved by the methods each team member utilizes, until that final beautiful tagline where Daniel wordlessly demonstrates just how much they'd give for the chance to bring her home.

For a relatively short story, this fic has incredible impact. Read carefully, and savor.

Why This Must Be Read: This riveting drama reads like a classic horror movie: the broken-down car on a stormy night, the strange small town in the back of nowhere, the two hapless scientists stalked by terrible evil...

Only in this case, the victims in question are Daniel Jackson and Rodney McKay.

These scientists fight back.

Creepy and evocative, with great insight into Daniel's character and an excellent portrayal of McKay, this story will grip you and leave you looking over your shoulder. Eerily, frighteningly good.
