Author's note; I started thinking of doing something for Sam back when writing 'season one' of Stargate Wives. It was after ashadowdancer made the comment in her review that Sam does need the female connection being the sole woman in the outfit! It was the sole woman in the outfit that had me thinking that she's also the only one (in canon too) who never married. By season ten all the guys had ex-wives, two by death, one by divorce. All Sam had was a series of boyfriends that typically died in canon giving rise to the black widow notion and her aborted marriage to Pete (who may come up if this goes on long enough).

It took a marathon viewing of Stargate to point out both Martouf and Narim had an interest in Sam and suddenly the title 'the Tollan and the Tok'ra' just popped into my head when I was thinking of a way for Martouf to have been saved instead of dying as he did in canon. It was a thought about how Martouf might have been saved by Tollan technology, a what if Narim had been there during "Divide and Conquer" later and a possible series of a romantic triangle started forming. I don't know how often I'll get to this, but the idea definitely interest me so while there may be pauses between updates they will come.

I hope my first forray into romance is not a horrific one. I'm still learning and it may sometimes blur into adventures or commentary, but I hope to stick to this love triangle.

This will go into first and third person, hopefully in a manner that won't jar anyone too much.

With regards to the thought about Jacob picking Daniel in contridiction to Season 8's episode of Threads, I am going with an interview with the actor who plays Jacob Carter when he was asked who out he thought Samatha should end up with, and he said Daniel. The chemistry between Sam and Teal'c was something the actress mentioned in a DVD commentary and I admit to seeing on screen long before the DVD had come out. However this isn't the series to dive into that, just acknowledge it like the Jack and Sam attraction.

McKay I had to thrown in because I'm in the minority who thinks it might be nice if he and Sam did get together. Though its unlikely to be in this series.

And without further ado, onto the first chapter that in my mind is titled "Pretense and Prospects"
