Nov. 15th, 2005 11:26 amClaim: "Without a Trace," Jack/Samantha
Title: Immaterial
Author: Anya
Characters: Samantha Spade. Allusions to Jack Malone and Martin Fitzgerald.
Prompt: 14. Loss.
Rating: R.
Length: Short.
Brief summary: An extremely moving look at Samantha's future -- unhappily married to Martin in suburbia, having just heard of Jack's recent passing. Somehow, the idea of Samantha closed in the car as she reads the obituary (and remembers "happier" times) is a perfect metaphor to how closed-in her life has become. Beautifully written, without really taking a 'ship side -- the author feels mostly for Samantha, as do we.
