*officially loves this fic*

[poohmusings]

Aww, thanks! There was much angst involved in its writing, so I'm glad you like it. :)

Ohhh, I love this! You took what I requested and created so much more out of it than I expected to get! And the boys were worried! And their affections for Sam showed through so strongly. *happy sigh* I loved the whole recurring theme with Sam wanting to quit something when she realizes she can't be the best. Ahhhh, our over-acheiving Sam.

Thank you SO much. :)

squee!

psst...

[surreallis]

The title in the subject line is wrong. Would you mind fixing that? Thank you!

[poohmusings]

YAY! Do you really like? Really, really, really?

I know it's kinda ... weird in the telling, but the story refused to be told in a way that wasn't confusing. (And hey, without that extension, the story would have been even more confusing. *g*).

But I'm glad you like it! Eeeee! *snuggle*

very nice fic. and you have to feel for sam, does she keep fighting or just cut bait and move on?

[poohmusings]

Thank you! And you've nailed exactly what I tried to focus on with this story: Sam's hurt, but would she be running away if she tried to moved on? Glad you liked. :)

Great angry and angsting Sam. I enjoyed her fight with O'Neill via MALP - very well done.

[poohmusings]

Thanks!

I enjoyed her fight with O'Neill via MALP - very well done.

Hee! I had a lot of fun writing that scene, and the original draft of this story had more MALP interactions between the two. Unfortunately I had to cut most of it out because it became more about Jack than Sam, but who knows, maybe it'll reappear in a new fic sometime ... ;)

Poor Sam. It must be a devil of a job to be her. Really enjoyed the interactions with Ishta nad her people. You could understand why Sam would want to chuck it all in and stay. Fab, I really enjoyed it. thank you

[poohmusings]

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked the whole scene with Ishta because I had a hard time writing that one. (Those darn stoic Jaffa. *g*)
