Why this must be read:

Most stories involving Pete are variations on How can we make the bastard suffer? -- and they often warp the other characters beyond recognition, too. Julie's story is ever so much more than this. She's set the standard for Sam/Pete fic that also acknowledges the friendship, respect, and attraction between Sam and Jack. This is a thoroughly believable glance at SG1-plus-one, in which Our Three Heroes' love for Sam is warm and softspoken, and everybody's starting to figure out how Pete fits into Sam's world.

"Hey." Daniel slumped into the chair next to hers, a mostly-empty bottle of the imported beer dangling from one hand. His smile was a little off – missing something of the Daniel before – but Sam thought that maybe hers looked like that too these days.

"Hey," she answered, feinting at his hand with her fork when he reached over and scooped a finger-full of chocolate frosting from her cake.

"That's unexpected," he said, and sucked the frosting off his finger before pointing at Jack and Pete.

Sam shrugged. She had to admit it was a little unexpected, too. "They found a common interest."

"What?"

"Shooting things."
