I’d forgotten that this group wasn’t just SGA. Here is the latest in my recent Sam/Martouf kick.
Title: The Moment of Death
Author: Allie O’N
Pairing(s): Sam (Jolinar)/ Martouf
Rating: General
Spoilers: Divide and Conquer (season 4)
Warnings: Death
A/N: So many people helped me polish this that if I thanked them all, it could take up more space than the actual fic.
Summary:
She silently pleads for him to forgive her before she feels herself pull the trigger.

“Samantha!”
His voice is weak. Having holes in your lungs will do that. A human alone might have succumbed to death, yet Lantash fought for their lives.
He can’t say any more, but his eyes beg her to end it for him. Death by the laser device would cruelly end two lives. A blast from a Zat’nikatel -- like the one she points at him -- would merely stop the heart, possibly allowing Lantash to survive and leaving his brain intact either way.
No time for hesitation, she silently pleads for him to forgive her before she feels herself pull the trigger.

This second jolt of blue energy suspends him for an instant and slows his fall. She catches him, easing his descent. She removes the device, assuring that the Za’tarc fails to harm anyone else.
She hears muffled voices, but her drugged brain barely comprehends.
Tears well up.
She cradles his head on her lap as though he merely sleeps. She remembers holding him this way as he recovered from a near-fatal injury, but the memory is not her own.
Jolinar’s memories flood her mind, and tears fall.
She has loved him for a century and never known his kiss.

The End
