Okay, what have you been smoking... that you haven't written a lot more of this pairing? This was EXCELLENT! In addition to the lines other people have quoted, this really moved me:

She isn't in love with General Hammond, though. She's in love with George, and the difference is a smile's width and tastes like Christmas morning.

I love how Sam can separate out the two, but the others can't because they all pull too much of their personal problems into their work. I love how the others are so baffled, but they still check for bugs because they protect each other no matter how much they disagree with someone's actions. I love that Sam knows that Jack's real issue is jealousy, but she can recognize why a relationship with him would never work while it COULD work with George. What I really love, however, is how you've shown that Sam is a bit of an outsider--which she absolutely is--but the others have never really picked up on that before and still don't really get it even now.

I'd LOVE to see a companion piece to this, to see Hammond's take on how he and Sam fit together. Hell, I'd actually just like to see more of them in any case.

Ohh, squee! *bounces around the room over yay!feedback over favorite crack cross-gen pairing of doooom*

It's been a long time since I wrote this but I am still fond of it...

but they still check for bugs because they protect each other no matter how much they disagree with someone's actions.

That's something I hadn't really noticed, or at least, I hadn't put it into words, but that's so true.

is how you've shown that Sam is a bit of an outsider--which she absolutely is--but the others have never really picked up on that before and still don't really get it even now.

Yes. Yes EXACTLY.

I love this pairing a lot... and should write more of it! I should!
