Why this should be read: I'm so excited to be able to rec my favorite quantum mirror story. Part team action story, part Sam/Daniel friendship story, part character study, all wonderful. Daniel and Sam struggle with a Goa'uld mystery, a near death experience, and a close encounter with AU doubles of themselves.
“Daniel,” she said gently. “You’re going to have to let go of my right arm.”
“Are you crazy?” His fingers tightened further, and Sam tried to suppress her wince at the painful hold.
“I can’t clip us together if you don’t let me move a little bit. Look, you’ve got my left arm. I’ve got your shoulder. I’ve got my legs wrapped around yours.” She kept her voice low and soothing, knowing that while he was calm, panic was still lurking beneath the surface. “We’ll be safer if you let go, Daniel.”
“I’m not letting go of you,” he said flatly. “Work around it.”
She glared at him, squirming to try and reach the elusive clips and fasten them into place. “It’s more dangerous if I can’t do this!” she snapped, feeling her own temper starting to erode.
“I am not letting go of you!”
She realized that it was too much to ask of him, and resigned herself to some acrobatic stretching and gyrations. She finally managed to clamp the metal clips to Daniel’s harness, securing them together on both sides. When she was done, the two of them were locked in an embarrassing parody of a close embrace; but at least now she wouldn’t fall, even if Daniel’s strength failed.
“We’ve got to stop meeting like this, Doctor Jackson,” she muttered in his ear. “What would SG-4 say if they could see us now?”
He huffed a laugh back at her, and she felt a surge of relief that he was still in control.
