sam and vala's friendship will never stop being awesomesauce.odakota_roseDecember 27 2014, 05:51:04 UTC
❧ It's a new and unique thing, this business of having a team, friends, people she can honestly call family even if only in the privacy of her mind- a girl has to have some secrets doesn't she? Somewhere along the way, Friday night drinks with Sam become a thing that happens with a startling amount of regularity.
Even on the days when the klaxons start blaring late Thursday night and don't seem to stop until the early hours of Saturday morning one of them shows up, glassware in one hand and a bottle of the good stuff in the other. Because early Saturday morning is just late Friday night by another name, and Friday isn't really the point no matter how many pop songs say otherwise.
These are the things you do, she decides, the third time Sam shows up, when you put down roots. Frankly that's terrifying, but less so than the idea of trying to uproot herself now. She stays.
They get along surprisingly well for all their differences, because beneath the labels (goa'uld hostess / space pirate / do-gooder / theoretical astrophysicist / soldier, and on and on and on-) they're both keenly intelligent, resourceful and used to picking up the pieces and keeping up the fight. Life has taken some of the shine off the universe but that doesn't make it impossible to find the wonder.
