Why This Must Be Read: There are not that many long completed Sam/John fics out there, but Sailor's Wife is behind a couple of them. Although some people might be put off by some spelling and punctuation errors, what makes this a great story transcends those errors. There's a fun feel to the whole plot, as well as a good mix of action, friendship, and romance, and it puts an interesting spin on some common science fiction tropes. Bonus is that if this story's not enough, Sailor's Wife also got some (unrelated) shorter and completed Sam/John fics that also explore their budding relationship.
Snippet:
The village seemed to appear out of nowhere as they crested the hill. It was busy with men and women bustling too and fro all with smiles and happy faces. There seemed to be an excitement in the air.
"They all seem so happy and full of life." Commented Carter.
"We rarely have cause for sadness, we are content in our life and serving the ancestors in the best way possible by cherishing life and living a happy life." "Here. I will take you Colonel Samantha Carter to see my daughters. They will find you proper attire." He seemed pensive a moment.
"Something wrong?" John asked.
"Just thinking… Colonel," he looked to Sam. "Colonel," He looked back to John. "Is that a surname?"
"No it's our rank. We are military, uhhh… warriors. We have different levels of ability and accomplishment and we are given a title denoting our position within our forces."
"I see. We have met warrior types before, while we pacifist ourselves, you will not be shunned." "I am surprised though, I have never seen a female warrior before."
"Well, she's one of the best!" John flashed her a smile which beamed with pride, she smiled back just as proud of him. This seemed to delight the old man who's eyes started to twinkle as his smile widened.
These are my daughters, Ashton, Bethany, Catherine, and Danielle. They will take Colonel Carter to find appropriate clothing."
John stepped close to Sam as she unclipped her P-90 and handed it to him "Keep your radio and tap once if you're in trouble."
"I'll be fine John."
Once Sam had gone from sight Samuel said, "She's a fine woman, your wife."
Oh, we're not married."
A dark expression momentarily fled over the older man's face. It was fleeting but it was there. It set off John's spidy sense that not all was right and he became concerned for Sam's safety.
