Why This Must Be Read: I love this overarching sketch of Cassie's life on Earth, from her first unhappy encounter with immunizations to her teenage years to marriage and children. This is five times Cassie wishes she was a "child of Earth," and the underlying thread of melancholy only serves to underscore her inner strength of character and the peace she makes with life's challenges.

Why This Must Be Read: This is one of my favorite kinds of teamy goodness fic: off-world mission, snappy dialogue, and affectionate teasing with underlying friendship. Complete with Jack winning the day! Sort of, anyway. :)
