Why This Must Be Read: This won the "Best Slash Angst" award in last year's fan fic awards, but I have to tell you, it's one of the funniest things I've ever read. Witness the following exchange after Carter is an unwitting "spectator" to Jack's, er, rather vocal performance:

"Tell me you'll still respect me in the morning, Carter."

"Respect isn't a problem. I mean TWICE! At YOUR age."

"MY age?" Jack inquired dangerously.

"Permission to be awestruck, Sir," she teased.

"Granted. Just don't...don't encourage him." Jack waved a hand in Daniel's general direction. "I want to be able to walk tomorrow morning."

Snappy dialogue, a perfectly snarky (yet curiously vulnerable) Jack, and a Daniel who is finally willing to stand up for what he wants and needs, even though the circumstances are less than ideal. Throw in some great supporting performances from a bemused yet supportive Carter and Teal'c, who can't help but stare at the train wreck happening right in front of them, and you have a perfectly lovely four course meal. And of course, some hot slash for dessert. Yum!

Hanging By a Thread by Jb (PG-13)

Hey guys! I have been told that I'm supposed to rec Jack and Daniel Friendship stories for April. This isn't my first go around as rec'cer for this category, but it is my favorite. It's the one I read the most fics for. I'm going to start off the month with my favorite author in this category.

I rec'ced this story on [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] in February, and thought I'd share it with everyone here!

Rec Category: Jack and Daniel Friendship
Characters: Jack and Daniel
Category: Angst, Drama, Friendship
Warning: none
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author's Website: The Tablet

Why this must be read: Oh wow! Okay, besides the fact that Jb has to be one of my favorite Daniel authors, this story is simply fantastic.

I always believe that no matter how good of friends Jack and Daniel are, their basic differences still cause rifts. Jack is a military man, a man of action. Daniel is an eternal scholar, a man given to learning. But Daniel also has the tendency to let that quest for knowledge overwhelm him and that's when he gets himself, and often others, in trouble.

This fic takes place after 'Torment of Tantalus'. The team is once again in trouble, only indirectly caused by Daniel this time. Jack is still harboring some confused feelings towards Daniel and the choices he made when they found Ernest Littlefield. It's a very true reaction on Jack's part to not being able to understand exactly what makes Daniel 'tick'. Jack reacts in the only way he knows how. The results are wonderfully illustrated in this fic.

Jb has a talent for describing a scene and making it 'come to life' for the reader. It's not a 'happy' story. In fact it's very angst-driven, but in the end, there is hope. Just a very well-written story of friendship.

"Too Much" by The Moonmoth (PG-13)

[scrollgirl.livejournal.com]

I've been assigned to rec Het for the month of April. Yes, het. *is greatly amused* I'll do my best to sample various pairings from both shows, but I will most likely not rec Jack/Sam, Daniel/Sam, etc., stories since these pairings already have their own categories.

Rec Category: Het

Category: Het, Friendship
Pairing: Sheppard/Teyla
Warnings: Het, spoilers for "Letters from Pegasus", PG-13 for very mild non-con
Author: the_moonmoth
Author Website: The Moonmoth's Author Page at FF.net
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2226341/1/

Why read it: Except for ( one little thing I disagree with )

, I found this story insightful and moving. It really captures the sense of impending doom, the helplessness and hopelessness Sheppard feels. He's teetering on the edge, frustrated, about to lose all control. She's there, in his way, not making his life any easier, standing strong for what she believes. I love the ending. *wibbles over John*

Go read "Too Much".
