Summary:

Teal'c had never, in all his years of service to the Goa'uld,
seen anything like the horror slithering its way into a world
utterly unprepared to receive it.

Why This Must Be Read:
This one is genuinely distinctive, in that it's very much not a story about a crossover character being brought into the Stargate project. This time, the beanie is on the other head, as Teal'c finds himself - wholly by accident - witness to an entirely different sort of alien invasion, and can't help but offer his aid. There's also a neatly executed callout to the second-season episode "Bane", and the Dresden Files elements are sufficiently self-contained that no real familiarity with the books is required to appreciate this episode. And while the story is also fully self-contained, the author leaves room for more to follow.

Snippet of Fic:
"You know Miss Rennison?" she asked.

Teal'c bowed his head, gravely. "If that is her name," he said. "I owe my life in part to her timely intervention at a critical moment, some years ago."

"As do we, to you," the swordsman said gravely. "But unless I miss my guess, this is your first encounter with beings of this kind...?"

Teal'c set his jaw. "With beings of this kind, perhaps. Beings of such strength and intention, however..." He let his voice trail off suggestively.

The man facing him sighed, then held out an armored hand for Teal'c to grasp after the Tau'ri manner of greeting. "Then you understand the need not to speak of what you've seen here today? A large number of lives are in danger, and involving the normal authorities can only make things worse."

Teal'c frowned slightly at that; he would keep no secrets of the kind from the rest of his team, and General Landry would surely want an update on the situation. "I suspect you have not met the authorities with whom I work," he replied, obliquely.
