Why This Must Be Read: I always love stories that feature Teal'c and Cassie, two aliens who have made their home on Earth, and their unique perspective and connection. This wonderful new and shiny story has an unexpected twist, as it is Cassie who ends up offering Teal'c advice and counsel.
Wonderful Teal'c perspective, lots of lovely little touches, and an unfolding backstory all add up to a very good read. Go feed the new author in the hope we'll get more such fic!
“Cassandra Fraiser, may I ask you for advice?”
Cassie turned, surprised. “Um, sure, Teal’c, ask me anything.” She pulled her chair around the table to be next to his and sat, leaning against his shoulder. Sometimes animals were comforted by gentle touch, too. She’d definitely seen Janet use that trick.
“It is improbable, but possible, that I will one day face a situation that you have already survived.”
Cassie looked up at him, still leaning on the comforting bulk of his shoulder. “You mean my planet?”
“You were the sole survivor of the extinction of a population. As the only Jaffa in the SGC, or indeed on the planet Earth, it is possible that I may also survive a disaster that kills all of my friends and companions of the Tau’ri. I once thought that the training of my youth had prepared me to face any potential scenario, but I find I cannot imagine how one could continue on in such a situation. You experienced a similar trauma at a very young age, yet you have found a new sense of purpose and belonging and have continued to thrive and grow into a formidable young woman.”
“Um, wow. Thanks, Teal’c.” She’d never been called formidable before. It didn’t seem to be a word people usually used to describe teenage girls here on Earth.
