Best Laid Plans by Six Before Lunch, (PG)

[zats-clear.livejournal.com]

My favorite type of AU is of the "sharp left turn in the canon" variety. We’ll see what I can come up with for your entertainment this month.


Show: Stargate SG-1

Rec Category: AU
Characters: Sha’re, Vala
Het/Slash/Gen: Gen
Warning: spoilers for "Avalon"

Why this must be read: "Best Laid Plans" provides a hard left for events in "Avalon," starting much further back than season 9. I truly enjoy watching two strong female characters in a scene and this one plays out spectacularly. One line allows you to see years of the past in Sha’re’s life, careful parsing of words gives you the timeline to the future. Although one can wish to see more of this universe, it overlays canon so clearly that it can easily be imagined.

Read. Enjoy. Leave your calling card on the counter so the author knows you stopped by.
