Why this must be read: My experience in SG fanfic may be limited, but it just seems like good character studies of side characers are non-existent. And then there's this. Nanda does a great story whether she's writing truly credible smut or heart breaking angst, but I choose this story as my favourite of hers because of the humanity she brings to the oft-neglected Cassie. She answers all the questions you might have about the character and then creates a believable, complex character that is a delight to get to know. She develops Cassie against the backdrop of the SGC and all that happens to the main characters in the future (partly based on spoilers) and in the process manages to say something about them at the same time. It's a gorgeous story and you should read it because a complex and well rounded character is a treasure in any fandom.
