Even After the Thrill of Living is Gone by indie (PG)

Fandom: STARGATE SG1
Pairing: mini!Sam/mini!Jack

Why this must be read: After Fragile Balance aired, some fans took to the idea that Jack wasn't the only SG member who was cloned as a teenager. In this story, indie shows us the difficulties a cloned Sam and Jack might face as they adjust to life in high school and, more importantly, to the fact that regardless of their (adult) memories, they are once again teenagers. Well-written and insightful, indie's characterisations are lovely and realistic.

Dutifully, Sam went back to Atlanta. Duty, however, was a sad substitute for enthusiasm. For two and a half weeks, she slept-walked through classes at a respectable suburban high school. She sat in class, did her homework and occasionally forced herself to eat something. But with every passing day it became more unbearable. Her second childhood was a more terrifying hell than Netu. Every day her spirits were crushed a little finer, every day she cared less and less. She couldn't talk to the students. She couldn't talk to the teachers. Barrett chose to monitor her case from the insulated refuge of the NID's Washington offices. Try as she might, Sam couldn't bring herself to strike up a conversation with the government goons that shadowed her day and night.

It was a Tuesday. She was supposed to be in English. She made a slight detour.

To Colorado Springs.

Yeah, she hit just the right note of loneliness and of Sam/not-Sam and Jack/not-Jack. I hope she writes a sequel!

I saw it, it looks like a previous version of this story. Or was there something I missed?
