Not Dark Yet by Devanie Maxwell (PG13)

Why this must be read:

This is another almost-gen rec, but there are mentions of Sam/Jack. The season one episode "In Extremis" was emotionally charged for a lot of reasons, and this is, in my opinion, the best treatment of the aftermath in fandom. The episode focused quite a bit on Martin, but Jack's guilt over the outcome of the case was very understated and Devanie does a good job with carrying out what he might have been feeling. She touches on a throw-away scene between Sam and Jack as well, which the writers never did so it's nice to see it reconciled via fic.

I like this Sam/Jack dynamic, and I am not a big Sam/Jack fan, so that's saying quite a bit.
