Summary
Canon compliant, in character attempt at a realistic development of the Sam/Jack relationship seasons 1-8. Missing moments and deleted scenes to address some of the unanswered questions we all have with an emphasis on in character communication, or lack thereof. M for season 8 only. T version available.
“Somebody told me that it was good to remember.” He was looking down at her now instead of at Charlie. Sam wasn’t sure what she was feeling, only that she was feeling a lot of it. Did he mean that he had done this because of her?
“Yeah, I think it is,” she answered him, looking back to Charlie.
“Thanks,” he whispered. Was this what it had been like before they had become strictly co-workers? She didn’t think so. She remembered a lot of flirting and teasing—a lot of fun. She didn’t remember anything so heavy. Maybe this was better, after all. She missed the flirting, but maybe this was what he actually needed. Maybe he needed the things that were hard for him instead of the things that were second nature. Maybe she was selfish to want both, but hey, a girl could dream.

"Who knew that it was the soul that made a kiss feel so right? He did now."

Summary
She's moved on. She's engaged to someone else. Jack doesn't have to be her shoulder anymore. He doesn't have to listen to her babble about an issue until she figures it out. He's her CO. Her boss. He should expect support from her, not the other way around. He ought to turn around and walk the other way. But she looks so dejected---so upset---so troubled---that he can't quite make himself actually leave. After all, they'd always been friends, hadn't they? Written for the June 17, 2025 #TuesdayMuseday photo prompt.

Summary
Stargate Restaurant AU
Sam Carter came to Colorado Springs for a fresh start. She found a chaotic kitchen, a Minnesotan hotdish of a man flipping eggs, and a second chance she never saw coming.
Jack O’Neill is like a true Midwestern casserole—warm, unassuming, and far more comforting than expected.
Between dinner rushes, old ghosts, and late-night laughter, Sam and Jack build something unexpected—family, forgiveness, and maybe even love.
A quiet story about starting over, staying put, and finding home where you least expect it.

Summary
Sam gets a surprise visit. I really wanted this to be at least a little angsty, but they weren't having anything to do with my plans.
“Wear whatever you want, Sam,” he instructed roughly. “I won’t be looking at the dress.”
Sam inhaled, attempting to draw breath back into her lungs. Jack wasn’t a romantic kind of guy. After witnessing eight years of his practical, logical approach to the world, she had gone into their relationship with her eyes wide open. But sometimes, his rough, direct approach did more for her than any sonnet ever could. It was him, and for better or worse, he was who she wanted, roughness and all.
