Why this must be read:
Continuing the theme of rare pairings, and a Cam Mitchell who's not quite like the one in canon, and yet not that removed either... This is a spin off from her 5 Earths Cam might have known fic (linked in the story) in which Cam's miraculous recovery is due to being blended with a Tok'ra named Tekesh (the only smart ass Tok'ra in the galaxy, at least according to Cam) in a universe where this is a bit more common than it is in ours.
And as if that explanation didn't give it away, I know nothing about the Tok'ra, but I still loved this, so give it a try even if you have no clue who they are.
The author summarises it as 'learning to live with (as) a Tok'ra', and it's about that, but it's about so much else as well: being different, but not that different, and the same, but not quite, and remembering when it wasn't like this. And it's about bonding in ways you never expected (Cam and Tekesh, Cam and Martouf) and realising that maybe the thing you were fighting for isn't quite as good as you thought it was. And then it's about the moment when you have to make a decision, even though there's no good decision and they all involve sacrifices, and you don't want to make any of them.
Also, Tekesh is great, and Cam is really kind of sweet, and Martouf is lovely, and the Cam/Martouf relationship really, unexpectedly, works.
It's only when they hear the rumours that Cameron begins to understand what Tekesh had been hinting at, warning about.
Cameron's surprised, but in retrospect, he shoudn't be. With the Goa'uld dwindling and the Replicators gone, the paranoid and suspicious start to question alliances.
Separation demands, Tekesh says, resigned. It has happened before.
