As Canon Sees It Why This Must Be Read: This lovely fic is set in early S9, just before Sam goes to Area 51. Sam is feeling adrift and lost; her team is scattering to different planets (and galaxies), and she feels that all she has to show for it are a few boxes and some painful memories.
Then Teal'c shows up, and their conversation is unexpectedly interrupted...
As Canon Sees It is a satisfying tribute to years of tears and triumph, the friendship between Sam and Teal'c, and knowing that things do matter. (It also shows that it always pays to have a camera in your pocket.) Thor, in all his non-cuddly huggability, is only the icing on the cake. :)
She had made sacrifices in the war against the replicators. She had asked for trust and betrayed it. She’d lost her father. She’d nearly lost Daniel. She’d nearly lost herself. She’d fought on battlefields that most humans in the galaxy, let alone on earth, would never know about. She had never asked for or expected any acknowledgment of her work, and now here it was.
“Is this not pleasing to you, Colonel Carter?” asked Teal’c.
Thor bowed his head in concern. “Have we offended you in any way, Colonel Carter?
“No, no, Thor! Not at all,” said Sam, wiping her eyes on her sleeve and kneeling down to place her hands on the little alien’s shoulders. “I’m really honored. More than I can say.”
Thor blinked. “Then you are welcome, Colonel Carter. While you are not an advanced specimen of your race like General O’Neill, I have come to have a very deep respect for you and your abilities, as well as your… stupidity, sometimes.”
