Why this must be read:

The final episode of Stargate SG-1 made me unhappy; then Sholio wrote this story, and it was all better :-). Because what the episode really needed was sex; lots of it.

Sholio is a well known, well respected writer of plotty, friendship-focused gen stories in a number of fandoms (though not SG-1). She's an expert at expressing the subtle connections between people without the emotional shorthand that sex often is in fic. So when she adds sex to her palette for this story, she's using it as it should be - yet another aspect of what makes us human and connects us to each other.

A snippet:

When he looks at Samantha Carter, he can feel the warmth of her skin.

It wasn't always so, and now he longs to go back -- back to ignorance, back to innocence, back to seeing her as a teammate and friend, before he knew the taste of her lips and the way her breast feels cupped in his palm. But he cannot. When she asks him in the gateroom if it is difficult for him, there is an instant when all he can feel is her soft hair sliding through his hands, her mouth warm and yielding under his own, and he wants to hold her so badly that the yearning is like a physical pain. Torment is the word she uses, and he can only agree. The icy tingle of the gate is welcome; it erases the warmth of her remembered hands from his body.
