Title: Survival
Author: somehowunbroken
Fandom: SG1
Characters: Sarah Gardner, some Daniel Jackson
Word Count: 870
Rating: PG
Notes: A pinch hit for cantarina1 in the clubstargate exchange. The prompt was I have become my enemy and lived to tell the tale, with Vala, Chloe, Teyla, or Sarah Gardner. This is not a fic that I ever really thought I'd write, but I enjoyed doing it greatly ( Read more... )

Oh my gosh... *has tears* That's really fantastic.

Thanks so much :)

This is really, really well done. It's excellent she's able to use her time as a host for some good and that she's surviving. That can be the hardest part sometimes

Oh, it absolutely can. Her nightmare didn't end when Osiris was removed, that's for sure, but I feel like she's enough of a fighter to hold her own after a while. Thanks dear :)

Oh, wonderful! It would be so hard recovering from that situation. I think you did a great job of showing what that recovery might look like, and what kind of problems Sarah would face.

Thanks :) Yeah, I think it would be difficult, but I think she'd be able to manage.

:DDDD

Sarah Gardner, the headline in the New York Times says. There are other things too, but the thing that captures her is her name, big and bold and italic, her name.
This feels so right. Literally the world saying "You, you, I recognize you, not Osiris. Your name and your face and your accomplishments."

I love that, like you wrote, this is something that's never going to leave her, but it's something she can live through. You've made her so strong and I love that. Thank you for this :)

It's not at all what I thought I'd write when I was looking at the prompts you gave - I mean, you had a John/Cam prompt, come on! - but the more I thought about it the more I knew I had to do this one. You picked out one of my favorite parts, too :D I'm so glad you liked it!

I was a little bit surprised too, but I wouldn't trade this for John/Cam! I have such a crush on the women of Stargate (and the people who create works about them <3)

Hehe, thanks :) I'm just glad you liked it!
