...there are no words to express how awesome this story is. Having 'Elizabeth' as Sam's sister, but making their relationship almost mother/daughter is brilliant, going into detail about the whole 'electric-shock=super senses' was a nice touch and the fact that this already awesome story has all of my favourite pairings combined? I'm actually forcing myself to remain calm and not embarrass myself by squealing. I'm going to go read more now!

Oh yeah, nothing like driving the point home with a sledgehammer how much he screwed up with his youngest daughter. Wonder what'd it take to start over with her.
That is the best explanation of the PTB that I've ever heard. "The PTB are all about balance, not fairness". Sometimes it seems to me that they weigh things in favor of the bad side to keep their balance.

The look on her then-expressive face had made it blatantly clear that, even if he sent the baby away without her knowledge, the young genius would use every skill she possessed to track her sister down, no matter what it took.
i like the phrase THEN-expressive. sums it up, huh?
“Why does it have to be you?” Jacob finally asked, drawing everyone’s attention. “Like you care.” Jordan snorted disdainfully. “You haven’t given a shit about Eli since she was a baby, and now you’re acting all dad-like. Gimme a break.” Jacob bristled at the blatant derision in her voice. That was one of the things he disliked most about his daughter’s ‘girlfriend’. She had absolutely no respect. What was worse, was that he knew that her disrespect was only for him, and not for elders or authority figures in general.
good scene, this... hope Jacob slinks off into the sunset. Also, wonder how many of the military personnel watching - esp those higher up the chain - are going to treat their families better for the next, oh, week.
"So, basically what you're saying is that this Faith girl fucked up, and you're paying for it?" Jack asked bluntly. "How is that fair?" "The Powers are all about Balance, Jack," Eli told him, "not fairness."
ouch, deep

A girl she would have never been caught dead consorting with, but she had forgotten something in her gym locker and returned to the locker room after gym class where the girl had hung back to shower and change alone, and she'd seen the mottled bruises that had covered the entire length of her back. A little research and an anonymous phone call from the payphone at one of their hangouts had resulted in the police catching the girl's alcoholic father red-handed beating the daylights out of her as she'd tried to shield her mother. She, as Buffy, had always thought that her being Called had been some sort of cosmic fluke, but maybe whatever it was that chose the next Slayer had seen something in her that she, herself, had never even suspected until she had been Called.
Okay now *that*'s a seriously good story (is it canon? hope not)
"I find that I must confess my confusion." He spoke in English. "You have made no attempt to be a part of the Champion's life since shortly after her birth, but you still feel that you have the right to make parental demands?"
good one!
"...however, the continued withdrawal during her growing years was unacceptable. As such, we acknowledge only the concerns of those who have taken active part in the growth of the Champions." There was complete and utter silence. Everyone, with the exception of the Teal’c and the Champions in question, were shocked and a little dumbstruck. While none of them had approved of Jacob’s treatment of Elizabeth, no one had even thought to keep him out of the loop of anything concerning his daughter.
isnt it fun when the higherups do something cool? might even turn someone religious ;-)

"Which, by the way, was serious overkill. I know that those people were probably just a really small blip in your 'big picture', but the total eradication of an entire race was way over the top. Most of those people probably didn't even know that the weapon existed. I mean, 98% of the people on this entire planet don't even know that the Stargate exists or that there's life outside of this world. You can't condemn the whole for the actions of a few." "That was not our doing." The woman denied. "Maybe not, but they did it because they were terrified of what you would do."
hmmm - don't mention the invasion, don't mention the invasion, don't mention invading the wrong country
Higher beings can't explain their rules to their own Champions, but apparently, they can explain someone else's rules. Loopholes, you gotta love 'em.
quite
His expression had turned thunderous and he was grinding his teeth in rage. "Jack, don't!" Elizabeth said, almost imploringly. "Nothing you say is going to change what's about to happen, and these aren't the pacifists that you've dealt with. Your opinion doesn't matter to them. They'll do what they feel they need to, regardless of how you feel about it, and their solutions to problems tend to be extreme and permanent. If you irritate them, you could be gone forever with barely a thought."
Oooh that could be fun - Jack is a bit of a jock bully, and it's always fun to watch when those types meet bullies bigger than them. Watching from a safe distance, mind.
