Why This Must Be Read: In this delightful (and sticky!) story, Teal'c comforts Sam in the aftermath of her abduction by Fifth in New Order.  The fic starts out softly and sweetly, as Teal'c treats Sam to a good dinner and doesn't even look at the Star Wars section when they go to rent a video. But after a stray remark regarding some throwaway dialogue in Ascension, well...

 

Companionship and laughter and silliness as an antidote to the trauma of Replicator blocks. Feeling Blue is an entertaining tribute to Sam, and Teal'c, and the power of friends... and blue Jell-O!

 

She paused a minute in the entrance to her kitchen, relieved to find it looked very little like the one in the farmhouse Fifth had created, before heading for the cabinet where she kept boxes of Jell-o.

She turned around, box of blue raspberry in hand, to find Teal'c standing in the doorway with the smallest of mischievous smiles on his face - someone who didn't know him wouldn't even notice. "What?" she asked.

"Several years ago Colonel O'Neill took me to a place where humans did battle in a ring of Jell-o," Teal'c said, raising an eyebrow. "Daniel Jackson joined us to explain the cultural significance. It was most entertaining."

Sam looked at him, trying to wrap her brain around the idea of her three teammates visiting a bar with Jell-o wrestling - O'Neill clutching a beer and pretending to only half pay attention, Daniel probably complaining that he had better things to do while giving Teal'c a lecture on wrestling in various Earth cultures, and Teal'c simply watching the stage with curiosity and fascination. "Are you saying you want to try it?" she asked.

Teal'c tilted his head. "It could prove a useful training exercise. A battle may take place on treacherous territory and a wise warrior will be prepared for such an eventuality." He raised his eyebrow in that way that Sam couldn't be quite sure whether or not he was joking.
