Forfeit by Genie Este (PG-13)
Fandom: STARGATE SG-1
Pairing: Sam/Jack, Team

Why this must be read:
While an undercurrent of Sam/Jack ship runs through this story, it is more a heartbreaking look at how SG-1 would handle the loss of one of its own. Genie paints a compelling picture with the details of the characters' grief and the way they stumble through it and struggle to communicate with each other. Unlike a lot of character death stories, this one does not play the death for melodrama or easy emotion. It is there, a fact, and there is nothing easy or romanticized about the aftermath. Genie gives the characters very human responses to the situation, and does not tie it up in a neat package.
