Much belated ETA: I have to say the downside of taking ages to write something is that your feelings about it can really change. I don't know how I feel about big parts of this fic anymore. I'm still re-assessing, but it's definitely not going to be updated until I decide to either chuck the problematic aspects (the use of that real life atrocity and the non-con) or rewrite them more sensitively. Sorry about that!

Summary: There were very few things Special Ops officer Captain Samantha Carter wouldn’t do for her country. It just so happened that the very thing her superiors were asking of her was one of the few. ‘Neutralize Jack O’Neill by any means necessary,’ they’d told her. It wasn’t the first order she’d defied but it was the biggest. (Also known as, the increasingly complicated life and times of Samantha Jean Carter, PhD.)
Notes: Written for the 2010 Summer of Stargate (
stargate_summer ). Thank you to both
maekala for insightful critiques and to
irinamarenco who provided me with an early beta of my rough draft. Wouldn't have known whether I was on the right track without either of you! As an additional note, please observe and heed the above warnings. They were put there for everyone's benefit. (If you enjoy the adventures of Ops Team One, stay tuned for Story II, in which Sam's predicament gets real and her conflict with the Brass gets serious. Even more serious.)
It's a flash from the past: Tripod hosting!
