Why This Must Be Read: Post-Heroes, so you all know what that means...

A bittersweet, aching return to Hanka, as Cassie seeks closure in the wake of other momentous changes in her life. Teamy support, excellent introspection, and a hopeful ending.

Why This Must Be Read: I'm not sure I even know a female version of John Watson existed (hey, medical doctor, name of show... it's a pretty safe assumption), but no knowledge of Elementary is required to enjoy this epistolary exchange between Janet, Joan, Cassie and George. There are multiple time jumps to cover nearly a decade of canon, but it's a delightful exploration of the friendships that surely exist outside the SGC.

I assume that if you are familiar with Joan Watson, you'll enjoy this ever more than I did... but either way, it's definitely a keeper!


I would be delighted to be Cassie’s weird but absurdly trustworthy Aunt Joan, keeper of secrets, buyer of lunches, sender of mildly inappropriate Christmas gifts, purveyor of worldly wisdom, et cetera. I hereby swear that I am neither a Bond villain nor a Bond girl, and that the worst thing your bosses are likely to find in my personal history is the business with the cadaver, the trombone, and the three watermelons, which I assume is already in their files from your background check.

Why This Must Be Read: This is Cassie and mini!Jack, working at a diner, and meeting various crossover characters. That's it, really. And yet there is something about this fic that delights me: Cassie and mini!Jack wholly out of the loop, as they should be. Jack knows who Cassie is, but can't say anything, and has no knowledge of events like Janet's death that take place after he leaves the SGC; Cassie herself has no idea that "Jon" might be someone else, as his existence isn't something that would qualify for "need to know."

I personally recognized one crossover but not the other, and it didn't matter in the slightest. It's just fun to see them interacting with one another, when we know so much more than they do and we can understand so much that they can't!

Is this the future I envision for these two? Probably not. But they're both happy, and I don't see what else we could want for Cassie and mini!Jack.

Why This Must Be Read: First published back in 2000, this is one of the first friendship / family fics I found, way back then, to do with Cassandra ... and it's the only one I'd found that addressed the question of just what to do with an alien child who has lost her entire family, suffered trauma, and been stranded on a strange world. All of SG-1 plus Janet and Hammond are represented, each striving to find the best solution. Most of all, I love that this story explores that question not only from the point of view of the adults, but also lets us hear - in a poignant, touching scene - from Cassandra herself. This is a truly lovely story.

Why This Must Be Read: I adore Cassie and Teal'c friendship fics: the two aliens who have found a place on Earth, but still sometimes feel very much like outsiders. Teal'c offering consolation to Cassie, just after Heroes, is absolutely perfect.

The fic is labeled as "hints at Sam/Jack." This gen girl read it and wondered, "What hints?" So this works with whatever goggles you use. :)


He was her anchor, her alien uncle who reminded her that no matter how truly alien she may feel among the Tauri at times, this was exactly where she belonged.

Why This Must Be Read: A prequel to my previous rec in this category, "Come Fly With Me". Sam gets asked out for dancing by a handsome Captain, but it's not the kind of dancing everyone thinks... Sam is amazing and does a lot of thinking about Jack. Jack is wistful about missing out on the 'dancing'. In all, this is one of those fics that is simply a lovely, sweet read with little peeks into the characters' hearts

Why This Must Be Read: I always love stories that feature Teal'c and Cassie, two aliens who have made their home on Earth, and their unique perspective and connection. This wonderful new and shiny story has an unexpected twist, as it is Cassie who ends up offering Teal'c advice and counsel.

Wonderful Teal'c perspective, lots of lovely little touches, and an unfolding backstory all add up to a very good read. Go feed the new author in the hope we'll get more such fic!

My favorite ones are Bill's and Walter's (excerpted below), but these are all so powerful: the recognition that once you know what's out there, even the most mundane events can never be quite the same.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a beautiful exploration of Daniel's relationship with music and people over the years, arcing from pre-series to post-series. From Sha're to Sam to Sarah Gardener to Cassie to Vala, Daniel's musical skills and his willingness to play are deeply affected by the people and events in his life. I especially like how the author leaves the color of the goggles to the reader's discretion, especially with Vala: read this as friendship or pre-ship, and it all works wonderfully!

Why This Must Be Read: Short and sweet, this fic showcases Janet wisely recognizing what Cassie needs when she's awash with the easy technological advances of Earth. Truly lovely, with a real early SG-1 feel.


She longed for the basic chores of home, busywork for the hands that calmed her mind and would, maybe, for a while, erase the images of her friends, family, her whole village dying around her.

Why This Must Be Read:
Author's Summary: A few weeks before Christmas, a member of SG-1 is critically injured -- off duty and right here on Earth -- but the event brings everyone together as they were meant to be....

This story takes place during that odd gray area between seasons 8 and 9 when all of SG-1 leaves the SGC except for Daniel, but before Cameron Mitchell shows up to resurrect the team (or something). It features trouble-magnet Daniel, who never fails to be one of my favourite troupes. And, yes, it has a first-time, getting together Jack/Daniel pairing, but as much as I love those two together, that's not even a consideration as to why I love this story. Because what it also has is an even stronger undercurrent of friendship, of people coming together to hope and pray for a loved one's recovery. The bulk of the story is a reflection on Daniel's life, of the people who's lives he's touched. It's emotional, it's moving, it has wonderful characterizations, and it gives a peek into a possible alternate future for the SGC, one that I would've loved to have seen happen. Oh, and it contains my all-time favourite Daniel speech.

It wasn't easy for Cassie or for Janet at the beginning. This is a great look at how both of them deal with it.

Why This Must Be Read: Here is a genuinely charming Cassie fic of her perspectives of Jack and friendship over the years, from early S1 through post-series. Add in some excellent Janet cameos and a tribute to opera - what's not to enjoy?


There was another set of season tickets, and those ones were a secret. Mom could know, but Cassie was absolutely not to share word of them with the rest of SG-1, not even Sam. Jack had season tickets to the opera. It was an easy secret to keep. The music, by itself would have been dismissed by her new classmates as desperately uncool, and there was nothing Cassie wanted more than to fit in, to be normal, unremarkable, just like everybody else. Well, as unremarkable as someone with hair her color could be, anyway.

reccer's note: yes, the last few paragraphs suggest a bit of Sam/Jack in Cassie's eyes, but it's years in the future and solely from her perspective, so my gen glasses can remain firmly in place. YMMV.

Why This Must Be Read: I love this overarching sketch of Cassie's life on Earth, from her first unhappy encounter with immunizations to her teenage years to marriage and children. This is five times Cassie wishes she was a "child of Earth," and the underlying thread of melancholy only serves to underscore her inner strength of character and the peace she makes with life's challenges.

Link: The Other Side of the Time Loop

Why This Must Be Read: To quote the original prompt: There must have been a closed time loop when SG-1 ended up stranded in the future, before Cassie and/or Sam somehow got word back to the past to have Cassie waiting at the right moment. What was life like for Cassie in the loop where SG-1 never came back from 1969?

Yvi did a fabulous job of creating an entire alternate reality in which SG-1 never came back. Her world's history is rich, detailed, and realistic: the Jaffa are more wary of the Tau'ri without Teal'c, the Asgard have less to do with them without Jack, and there is little information on the Ancients without Daniel. On the other hand, there are the fascinating twists of this other reality, including Furlings, the program gone public, victory over the Goa'uld, and a certain civilian becoming head of the SGC.

Cassie gets a long, satisfying life, including marriage and a family... and then she knows she's going to live another one, all over again.

Full disclaimer: the prompt that inspired this story was mine. Yvi did a great job with it, didn't she? :)
