Why This Must Be Read: This is what the SGC/Tok'ra relationship should have been, and a very plausible way to bring Cam into the SGC program a full season earlier: instead of putting him through a year of agonizing therapy that might not be successful, Sam - still host to Jolinar - offers Cam the opportunity to be a Tok'ra host.

This leads to a very different S8, with Cam and his fellow Tok'ra-Tau'ri blends working at the SGC.

You'll enjoy the different twists on various episodes, the hilarious inner dialogue, and the warm friendship between Cam and Sam. A very satisfying story!


As everyone began settling down, Cam took a look around at them all. They were, to a man, woman, and snake, a bunch of neurotic, insane, and sneaky basket cases, but they were also brilliant, brave, and loyal. Part of Cam still ached for the squadron he had been forced to leave behind, but if he had to replace them he couldn't have asked for a better group. He didn't think he would mind calling them family for the next three or four hundred years.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a fic of joy -- Sam's friendship and closeness with each member of her team in turn, plus Jacob. Vala and Jack are the only ones missing here (and from the summary, Jack's omission seems deliberate, although a casual reference to that friendship is also included.) But you'll love the way each aspect of Sam is highlighted by her various friendships, and it will be impossible to read this without a smile on your face.
