Why this must be read:

Daniel visited Jack and Teal'c while ascended, but what about poor Sam? What is she, chopped liver? Well, not to Ms. Moonshayde! In this very moving piece, Sam gets a visit from a Daniel who is somehow familiar, and yet different, while injured on a mission. With wonderful use of dialogue and action, Moonshayde gives us an incident where Daniel visits Sam to give comfort and succor during trying times. While Moonshayde isn't writing in SG1 fandom anymore, this example of her writing just goes to show that good stories continue to get around. Go read!

Story Summary: When Sam is trapped and injured off-world, she is rescued by an old friend. But she soon realizes this isn't the Daniel she once knew.

 Sam rested quietly, concealed in the shadows of an abandoned shack, trying to reconcile her reality with the one before her. Daniel finished dressing her wounds, more expertly than she recalled, with a gentle touch that spoke of years of experience. That made her wonder if she was hallucinating. She couldn't tell just how badly she'd been injured or if maybe this was something more.

"Daniel," she finally said.

He lifted his head, turning away from his work, and managed a small smile. While he was mostly obscured by the darkness, she could still see the twinkle in his eyes and the grooves on his face, familiar comforts that she hadn't realized she'd missed. He seemed too real for a hallucination.

"You can't be here," she said between heavy breaths. "It's impossible."

His smile softened. "I know you better than that, Sam."

He did know her. She didn't doubt he knew why she was here, either.

Sam swallowed hard, trying to keep the fogginess at bay, and ignored the doubts that threatened to overwhelm her. "I knew you'd come."
