Why This Must Be Read: I love the bittersweet angst and realistism of Naquadah Tipped Warheads & Banana Smoothies and its sequel, The General, The Colonel, Their Child and His Mother by A.M. Richardson. This series is set in season nine SG-1 when Sam is still at Area-51. She discovers she is pregnant a month or so after Jack disappears off-world. She copes with missing Jack and the strangeness of pregnancy after forty with the help of their friends and by keeping a journal of her pregnancy and motherhood to give Jack when, not if, she insists, he is found so that he doesn't miss out on anything.
Though Jack doesn't appear in the first story, the emotions in Sam's journal entries makes him feel very much present. The journal is a clever conceit and and both stories are beautifully written, complicated, messy and sad, very much like real life. Sam finds herself doing things she never thought she'd do and yet unable to master the seemingly simple. Her grief for Jack and at being cheated out of their finally arrived life together is palpable yet somehow the overall tone is very hopeful. There's a lot of humor (Sam is not good at being pregnant or being a new mother) and Daniel in particular shines as the best friend she (or the missing Jack) could hope to have.
The author could have stopped with the first fic and the end would have worked perfectly but did a sequel by popular demand. The first story is wrenchingly sad and proof that babyfic can exist without being saccharine. The sequel gives a happier ending and more closure for those who need it.

In the end, I guess I write the stories that I want to read that I don't think have been done before - it's a privilege to play with those wonderful characters :)
