Why This Must Be Read: Here is a lovely Janet and George introspective, as they grapple with the need to hold down the fort when they'd rather be doing something. It's quiet and gentle, with that steely resolve underneath, and it fits them both perfectly.


General Hammond smiled at her. It was one of those sad little smiles he saved for late at night when the losses were too much to bear. He didn't smile like that often. She smiled back, a wry almost-grin that she saved for the morning after the final sutures had been put in place, the infirmary was scrubbed clean, and she'd had enough coffee to get a start on feeling human again.

Written in the Stars, by Gray Cardinal (G)

Categories: gen, epistolary, friendship
Warnings: none

Link: Written in the Stars

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.

Sorry, broken link. Fixed now!

Extended Family, by khek

Show: SG-1

Categories: Gen, Drama, Friendship / Family
Warnings: none
Author's Journal: unknown
Author's Website: khek, on AO3
Link: Extended Family

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.

Author's Summary:

After the team returns at the end of Urgo, Jack and Daniel have a bad reaction to the casual brain surgery. The rest of the team can't seem to leave their teammates alone in the infirmary.



Why This Must Be Read:

From the author: This is being posted to help distract one of my best friends who is sick and has tested positive for Covid. Prayers appreciated for all those suffering. Love you. (In the notes, the friend has gotten better.)

Brand new fic! And new fics in SG1 are getting rarer, so show Marzipan77 some love. She deserves it!

An old-fashioned episode related fic. The team has returned from their dealings with Urgo and Jack and Daniel end up in the infirmary. Teal'c is a warrior in defense of his team, George is large-and-in-charge, and Sam is worried for her teammates. Jack and Daniel end up in a maze and Jack gets to show off his brains as they try to solve the puzzle.

Just a lovely fic!

Comtraya!

A mission gone awry means their lives are on the line again and Jack, finally, has had enough!

Lovely fic!

Author's Summary:

Four times Hammond talks with Sam off the record about her feelings for her CO.



Why This Must Be Read:

Tags for multiple episodes where Sam has revealed a bit too much about her feelings for Jack. This is largely a Sam and George fic, where George has to be the Boss and deal with potential problems of anything non-professional between Sam and Jack. But Jack looms over every word, even if he doesn't show up until the end.

A nicely done fic.

Author's Summary:

A few missions under his belt now, Teal'c is getting a handle on Tauri relationships, politics and military command. Maybe.



Why This Must Be Read:

About that handle. Maybe not... ::grin::

I couldn't resist another Mitch story this month!

This is a first person Teal'c story and his interpretation of events from an alien point of view is hilarious. You should remember how new Teal'c is to SG-1 at this point, that will make this even better.

Teal'c doesn't think much of Samantha Carter but he respects her as a teammate. But he calls Daniel "O'Neill's beloved" multiple times in this short fic. It's hysterical!

Teal'c physical reaction to Jack showing Daniel how to build a weapon to help defend themselves gives the NC17 rating -- it's not terribly explicit, but we all know what's going on there!

Just a fun fic!

Fly Like an Egyptian by Mitch (NC-17)

Pairings: Jack/Daniel
Categories: Slash, Wingfic
Warnings: Mission gone awry, hurt/comfort
Words: 14,500
Author's Website: AO3 profile
Link: Fly Like an Egyptian


Author's Summary:

The Zoroastrian religion has never been quite up to Daniel's standards of worthy of study. That's about to change! As usual, our archaeologist gets himself into a situation with dire consequences. The dire aspect is the trauma our dear colonel has to go through as a result of Daniel's tendency to immerse himself in any culture the team comes even close to tripping over. The consequences on other missions have been dangerous and deadly. This time the consequences have feathers. And sex. Sex and feathers. Yep.


Why This Must Be Read:

Daniel gets wings while in a temple on what should have been a routine mission (you'll figure that out pretty quickly, and it's tagged 'wingfic,' so it's not a spoiler). Jack gets all protective of his archeologist.

But being Daniel, he has to explore having wings, how it might have happened and how they work. All to Jack's consternation and frustration.

While this is a 'team' fic, it really is about Jack and Daniel, and what goes on in Jack and Daniel's relationship as Daniel immerses himself in his research.

Oh, and sex and feathers! That alone makes the fic worthwhile!

Why This Must Be Read:

A great story of team and friendship focusing on Jack and Daniel. After Jack finds Daniel's car on the side of the road in a snow storm, Jack becomes protective and wants to help his team mate through a tough time.

The fact that it may not have been an accident, only adds to Jack's worries.

Just a great story!

Why This Must Be Read:

 

One of the main draws to fanfic for me is deeper discussion over the characters we love. Here, in Pick Up Pieces, we get Randomfreshink’s look at why Daniel does what he does in Need. All in a rather engrossing story. It’s a thoughtful piece, and I think it captures Daniel rather well.

Author's Summary:

Two part (so far) story of why Jack shouldn't fiddle with Sam's doohickeys. Light shippy nonsense with a cute happy ending.

Jack touches a piece of Alteran tech he shouldn't have and ends up twenty years in his past. Will he trip up and tell Sam how he feels? What about his alternate self trapped twenty years ahead of his time? Can he handle what his life has become?



Why This Must Be Read:

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

It's one longer and one short fic where Jack touches something he shouldn't and gets sent to the past. There's some light pining (that we know will turn out well) and it's just a light, fluffy fic!

Why This Must Be Read: This is George in delicious General Hammond rocks! mode, dealing with each original member of SG-1 in turn - with grace, with wry humor, with just enough selective blindness, and with every ounce of class that makes him the best general the SGC ever had.


Dr. Jackson fell into step, and George started spinning the tale. The least he could do was look after his people--and sometimes that meant nothing more than this.

Author archived this on AO3 from her Dreamwidth.

Nothing says ‘Welcome back’ and ‘Glad you’re not a treasonous thief’ like the return of his tags, a couple of sets of BDUs, and the contents of his locker.



Why This Must Be Read:

This is a perfect coda to Shades of Grey where SG-1 comes back together after Jack's 'treason' and mission to search out the group stealing alien artifacts.

The story is at its best as Daniel dissects what happened and why Jack went along with the scheme in the first place.

A short, powerful piece.

Why This Must Be Read:

Out of all stargate fanfiction I have personally read, this story feels a smidge different. The writer adds elements of fantasy into a sci-fi story. Considering the different nature of fantasy, this cannot be an easy thing to do. But the writer manages it well here. Using those elements, the writer explores the concepts of human connection, friendship, and family. It made me think, as well filled me with warm fuzzies when I finished it. That is a sign of a good story to me.

Why This Must Be Read:

Out of all authors of Stargate Fan Fic I have read, Marzipan’s stories have been the most effecting. No Stars to Wish On, is one of those. The writer has tagged this story as “team as family” and I think it fits well. But like any family, it is dysfunctional at times and you get a heaping helping dose of that here. I love those interactions, even the harder ones. If a story stays with me months later and effects my own writing in some small way, well I can’t think of higher praise than that.
