Can't tell you how much I loved this. Srsly : ) There's not very much fic out there devoted to this ep and I thought Sam seeking Cam out again is plausible had she not been able to make it back to her own reality. The Cam in this scenario is not pleasant to see, and your Sam doesn't sugar coat it. The dirty dishes and laundry, the empty cabinets, items only where Cam would be able to reach them, all make it viscerally sad. Sam acknowledges the squalor he's living in, doesn't coddle or baby him or preach. Her visit and the interaction between Sam and Cam here is very much in character for them both.

And you didn't conveniently let them fall into bed together, um, well literally maybe, but you understand what I mean. I love the end. Very sweet and sad. Nice job!

Thank you! I too wish there were more fic for this episode. I love the bleak world we see, and poor Cam hurts my heart. I wanted to do something to let him feel normal again for a night, and give him some happy memories.

You did good by him.

What she said. *points to gigerisgod's comment*

Great job. :D

Ooh, love your icon!

Thank you. I really love the AU created in this episode, and poor Cam hurts my heart. I wanted to give him at least one night of something approaching normalcy, and maybe even some happiness.

That was great. Excellent job.

evilmissbecky May 15 2008, 22:06:56 UTC

Thank you! And I adore your icon. :-)

This was great, beckyg!

You really captured the bleakness and frustration of Sam's situation and the core of the relationship of Sam and Cam (even though it's alternate Cam) and just...lovely writing and excellent story!

(so glad you pimped this at twop)

Thank you! I don't self-pimp very well, so I was very nervous about posting the link. :-)

I haven't found very much fic based around this episode, which I think is a shame. I love how bleak this AU is, and how hopeless everything seems...and into it all comes Sam, with her eternal belief that she can make things right and fix what is wrong.

And I love her for it, too.

Just recently started getting into SG1, and I've been a long-time Farscape fan, so kinda naturally, Cam's my favourite. And I loved Cam's part in this episode (for I am h/c fangirl) and I've been hunting for any fic based on it, and I found this! And this is lovely lovely stuff.

Thank you very much for writing it.

evilmissbecky December 3 2008, 02:25:31 UTC

Thank you! I did the same thing...found SG-1 after watching Farscape. And yep, Cam is my favorite, too. :-)

I love The Road Not Taken. AUs in general fascinate me, and this episode is a great example of exploring a world not so very different from our own. Except for poor, broken Cam, of course.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
