abuseWow. I just wanted to comment on the 'communication' part of the story with the alien. That was intense. And the way it radiated throughout the base was pretty cool. Very very neat idea and I enjoyed it alot.

abuseI stumbled across this fic a few days ago and loved it. Then I wanted to read it again yesterday and couldn't find it. You would not believe the lengths I went to in search of it... It was definitely worth the re-read though, and I'll be adding it to my list of favorites (so finding it next time should be a snap).

This whole story gelled really well. The opening chapter with the slight hints of romantic tension led into the obvious tension in the second chapter and then the making out in the third chapter. The personal tension in the fourth chapter--do we want to keep doing this, or do we want life to go back to the way it was before--was wonderfully real and angsty. I particularly enjoyed that it was Jack who said they couldn't just pretend it never happened.

And then chapter five. *dreamy sigh* As a lifelong reader of romance novels, I can conclusively say that was one of the best "description of feelings" passages I've ever read. It was a little angsty of course, but that was what made it good. It made it... real. Once again, balancing the tension between the tremendous love he feels for her and the pain of knowing he can't do anything about it.

Chapter six took a good story and made it great. Having that burst of psychic burst shoot through the open Stargate was sheer genius. I'll tell you a secret--this is the only "higher-ups give Jack and Sam the okay to have a relationship and still work together" story I've ever found at all realistic. I know too much about the military to believe it would ever really happen, but somehow... you poured so much humanity into every character in this chapter that I couldn't *not* see it happening this way. The President's description of Jack's noble act in setting aside his feelings for so long was another passage that made me sigh, and that I have to read over and over again.

But nothing beats him walking into the infirmary, saying they've been given immunity on 134 as it pertains to each other. Sam's usually so quick, so it was it was delightful seeing the wheels taking a minute to click. And then when they did, she was still slightly uncertain what it meant--not because she didn't know what it meant overall, but because she wanted to make sure he wanted it too.

All in all, a wonderful story that's going on my list.

abuseYay, Milwaukee! *g*
My mom grew up not too far from Milwaukee, I grew up in Illinois, and I ended up spending a large chunk of my early years traipsing all over between the two. I remember going to the museum really vaguely when I was little..

This was such an awesome story, I loved it! =)

abuseI loved it! I'd forgotten what I said I wanted for this fic (had to go back and see what I said), but it's so much better then I imagined. ^_^ I love the humor and the romance in it. There is so many scenes that I love that I couldn't pick and choose which ones I love more. The presidential exemption scene was great. I haven't read a better one in a while.

Thank you for writing this! Better late then never, I say. **winks** And I see you updated "The Torment of Tantalus" so I'm off to read that.

abuse[GRIN] Karen, this has been the first fanfic I've read in months, and I adored every last word. I miss light-hearted Jack and Sam. Heck,I miss SG-1. I'm really glad you have continued to find the time to write - keep it up!!

abuseWonderful fanfic, great plot, very good grammatic, easy to read. Original final, i liked your way to avoid frat regs.
Thanks for writing this.

P.S.: Try to write Sam/Jack fanfic setting at season 4, right after/at episode: Devide And Conquer. And will your new fanfic contains more romantic moments and more plot issues.

abuseThat was really nice I think Daniels answer to the Ice fishing question would have been great if it had read "Not a snow balls chance in hell." any way

abuseAnother wonderful chapter, I'm glad that they are going to take their relationship forward, and not bury their feelings again.
