    Summary

    Two years after Samantha Carter was lost and declared dead, she shows up in Colorado Springs — alive, carrying a name she didn't choose, a head injury that took her memory, her rank, and most of her words, and a diagnosis that was never true.
    This isn't the reunion. This is the aftermath: two identities that both belong to her, a body and a brain that don't work the way anyone remembers, an Air Force that owes her more than it can pay, and a relationship with Janet Fraiser built slowly out of ordinary competent care and love. Because Janet Fraiser learns quickly that she loves this version of Sam Carter and Sam adores each of her kisses.
    Domestic, unhurried, and built one scene at a time: taper steps and bad nights, a rebuilt tractor, new friends, Cassie growing up and choosing her own future, SG-1 finding their footing with the person Sam is now, and two women falling so helplessly in love in a country where they can be open, and a country where they have to be careful.
