This screamed out for me to do something with the Stargate SG-1 Solitudes episode. Rather than write a fic, I chose to make a fanmix.

Tracklist, lyric snippets and explaination/prompts
1. Marooned - Pink Floyd
Prompt - stranded/survival scenario
Sam and Jack are stranded when the stargate malfunctions.
Instrumental
2. Cold - Annie Lennox
Prompt - hypothermia
The duo doesn't realize they are in Antartica. Air temperature is very, very cold.
Winter has frozen us
Let love take hold of us
(Cold, cold, cold)
Now are shivering
Blue ice is glittering
(Cold, cold, cold)
3. I Shiver - Robert Cray
Prompt - hypothermia
Another song reflecting on the cold. I also liked the line about his headache as Jack has a concussion and internal bleeding.
I've got a headache that just won't go away.
It's a wonder that I'm not dead.
4. Love Like Winter - AFI
Prompt - undeserved reputation
I think when Sam first meets Jack she makes some assumptions about him that prove to be untrue. For example, during this episode she discovers it was thoughts of his wife (now ex) that got him through his being stranded in Iraq. Jack loves very deeply and I think he finds his soulmate in Sam, although he has to get over his ex-wife first.
It's in the blood, it's in the blood
I met my love before I was born
5. Your Heart is an Empty Room - Death Cab for Cutie
Prompt - n/a
Not really one of the four prompts but I think it is a good transition song. Sam's beginning to see Jack in a different light and during one of the behind the scenes interviews the director mentioned this episode is what opened the writer's/director's eyes to the chemistry between the two. They played on this chemistry throughout the series and the relationship was finally canonized in novels written after the show ended.
And you find the love that's true
But you don't know what now to do
'Cause the chase is all you know
And she stopped running months ago
6. Love Me Back to Life - Bon Jovi
Prompt - hugs
Sam snuggles up to Jack to keep him warm and alive.
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
7. Forever Man - Eric Clapton
Prompt - undeserved reputation
Jack isn't really a womanizer/playboy type, despite all his flirting. He was devoted to Sarah for ten years and later is equally devoted to Sam.
How many times must I say "I love you"
Before you finally understand?
Won't you be my forever woman?
I'll try to be your forever man (forever man)
8. Hold On - Sarah McLachlan
Prompt - stranded/survival scenario
Jack is dying. Sam orders him to hold on.
Now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And will see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
9. Keep Yourself Alive - Queen
Prompt - stranded/survival scenario
Sam initially follows Jack's order and climbs to the surface, but when faced with unbroken ice as far as the eye can see, she climbs back down to face her final moments with Jack.
Do you think you're better ev'ry day?
No I think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
10. Crater Hug - Mark Snow
Prompt - hugs
Sam snuggles up to Jack one last time and tells him it's okay to sleep now. Fortunately they are rescued. I started the playlist with an instrumental and wanted to end with one.
