Almost Seventeen by EOlivet (PG13)
Fandom: WITHOUT A TRACE
Pairing: Sam/Jack

Author website: None that I know of, but you can find most of her fic at grissomandsara.com
Why this must be read:
Jack and Sam's affair is canon, but it was never really dealt with onscreen. We get little hints and then finally at the end of season one a confirmation that they're more to each other than colleagues, but there's no resolution and no hint of how it began. So it's natural that fandom would pick up on that hole and fill in the blanks, as it were. Much of the time this seems to be done from Samantha's point of view, but this fic is Jack looking back at the origins of their relationship.
It's about responsibility and the rush of first attraction, about making excuses to do what feels good instead of what your head tells you is right. I've never been a big fan of Sam/Jack simply because I feel like his marriage has gotten short shrift both in canon and fandom, but this is Jack making mistakes but ultimately taking responsibility for them.
