Why this must be read:

Nanda brings the angst a little, of course, but that's not what this piece is all about. Sam's had about as much as she can take of this whole look-but-don't-touch thing that she has going on with Jack, and so she decides to do something about it at New Year.

Great smut (although there's a link to a PG-13 version at the top of the page if you're that way inclined), spot on characterisation, and an ass-kicking sequal that even has some plot! What more could you ask?

"I think you just need to get it out of your system," her sister-in-law said, late on the last night, when Mark and the kids had been sent off to bed and the two women were drinking red wine in front of the automated gas fire. "I bet it won't be as great as you're imagining. He's just a guy, Sam."

Strangely, Sam's become closer to Kristin than she ever was to Mark. And all of her girlfriends from the Academy and Washington are in the military -- hardly any help.

"I don't know," she said. "It's not a simple thing."

"But I know you, Sam," Kristin said. "You're going to torture yourself about this forever and nothing's ever going to change unless you do something about it."

This was a thought Sam had had before -- more than once -- and she was just about fed up enough to accept it as truth. She considered the idea of throwing herself at her superior officer. And blushed.
