Why This Must Be Read: This is only the second fic deltachild has written for SG-1. She needs to write more! In this story she explores a pre-series Jack and Sam meeting in a bar. Both of them have demons and for a little while they find some peace in each other.
A lovely, very in character exploration of what if.
Her fiancé sounds like an asshole but Jack reckons that Sam’s already got that figured out. He has never been able to understand why women stay with people they know are idiots... then he thinks of Sarah and how the word ‘divorce’ has never fallen from her lips. And just like that Sarah is back in his head along with the accompanying stabs of guilt and pain.
Sam pushes another beer towards him and it takes just a second before he slips out of his darkness to give her an appreciative smile. Something akin to concern flickers across her face and to distract her he makes a quip about the bottle label being askew and takes a large gulp of his new drink..
