Floating in a Most Peculiar Way by margo_kim (PG)

Why this must be read: This story, by one of the newer and breathtakingly brilliant writers in the fandom, is surprisingly heartwrenching. Surprising because canon gives us far more harrowing circumstances than those depicted in this story, and yet it absolutely guts me. The premise is a simple one --- Sam inadvertently acquires a pet. Alongside the sorrow, however, is a story that is hopeful and quietly beautiful too. There is a pitch perfect depiction of Sam, Annie and Gene's dynamic and a real sense of teamwork.
Major Tom looked like what you’d get if you took a normal cat and chucked it through a wood chipper. The woman said she cleaned the rescued cats when they got them off the street; Sam wondered if that cleaning involved hanging them up and beating them like rugs. Even after a meal and the most terrifying bath Sam had even given, Major Tom still looked, at best, tattered. The cat curled up in the center of Sam’s bed and coughed pointedly at Sam. Sam looked at the ridiculously pricey antibiotics he’d bought. “Right then. Let’s do this.”
