Why this should be read: At the end of 'Chimera,' canon gave Sarah Gardner a hug and abandoned her forever. This fic checks in to see how she's doing -- she's changed, and she's haunted, but she's OK, and she calls Daniel and tells him so -- and presents an affecting study of the quiet triumph of the good days over the bad.

Why this should be read: This is the kind of story we never get on the show: the aftermath of events, picking up the pieces of a shattered life. Here is Sam, Vala, and Sarah Gardener, in a meeting of the Ex-Hosts Club. Honest, painful, poignant, and well worth reading.
