holdouttrout: not your ordinary fish (sam_jack)

I was just thinking about 2010 and accompanying fandom, and I was wondering what people's favorite Sam/Jack fics from this universe/era/whatever were. 

I also have a "Why in the hell do the rest of SG-1 think the Aschen will solve all their problems?" question. Because you'd really think that all these people would have got the idea that everything comes with a price. Every single piece of literature reiterates this concept: you get something powerful enough to defeat the bad guys, and something is taken from you. I don't know...I would expect Carter to go off the deep end about the Aschen, but Teal'c? Not so much. And yeah, Daniel has his moments of naivtee, but usually he can find his way around in that place where SG-1 reality meets legend. See, now, Jack I buy. Because Jack has always had his skepticism-- and maybe the fact that no other advanced alien race has ever just handed over technology clued him in. But how did he manage to *not* convince the rest of them? 

On the whole, I kinda like these two episodes. I especially like the fact that they have to figure it all out again after striking the first planet from their list. The Aschen don't just disappear from the galaxy. That's good. I *love* the tension between 2010 Jack and Sam. Oh boy, is that relationship messed up, and I love the hints of darkness it gives that relationship, and the volumes it speaks about how wrong things went with the team.

Oh! While I'm thinking about it: The Sam/Jack wedding photo? That's from where, exactly? Not from "200." Is it from an AU?

And if someone could explain Sam/Cam to me...Maybe there are things in season 9 I haven't seen yet, but this idea seems a little disturbing to me. Yeah, it's partly because I'm a Sam/Jack shipper, but even so--I haven't really seen any hint of romance between them on-screen. Of course, I also don't see any hints of romance between Daniel/Sam or Daniel/Jack, so maybe I'm just limited.
