Collateral Damage by surrealphantast (PG-13/R)

[rydra_wong]

Rec Category: OT3+
Pairing: Sam/Jack/Daniel, reference to Sam/Pete
Category: het, slash, threesome, drama, angst
Warnings: het, slash threesome
Author on LJ: surrealphantast
Author's Website: mind-rot.net
Link: Collateral Damage

Why This Must Be Read:

The motivation for OT3/4 in Stargate fanfic is often the sense that the team are incestuously over-involved as it is; they've shared experiences that no-one else can possibly understand.

The flip-side of that, of course, is the way it inexorably excludes anyone who's not part of the group. Here, surrealphantast takes a sharp little look at the possible consequences for outsiders.

A Change of Scenery, by miera_c (PG-13)

[irony-rocks.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: Sheppard/Weir
Pairing: Sheppard/Weir (some vague mentions of Zelenka/McKay)
Category: Alternate reality,
Author on LJ: miera_c
Author's Website: unknown
Link: A Change of Scenery.
Author's Summery: If the whole part with the guns, the concussion and the felony kidnapping hadn't happened, really, this would be like a vacation. (Written for the Harlequin Challenge)

Why This Must Be Read: Miera_c has created a fascinating alternate universe that is almost a mix between two of the most popular Stargate AU communities here on LJ, langford_u and spygate, but it still exists within it's own little bubble. The characters are all in new roles, but the voices are still the same. The writing is flawless, and the action/adventure and romance that weaves through the story makes it quite addicting to read. I've read this one perhaps four times by now. It's just that good.

Run, don't walk, to read this one.

Pattern Recognition, by mspooh (PG-13)

[irony-rocks.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: Sheppard/Weir
Pairing: Sheppard/Weir
Category: Angst
Author on LJ: mspooh
Author's Website: unknown
Link: Pattern Recognition.
Author's Summery: "This, too, is a routine."


Why This Must Be Read: If you wanna know the real reason why Sheppard/Weir appeals to so many people, then look no further. This fic describes exactly why I fell for Sheppard/Weir (except, obviously, so much better). I'm a fan of mspooh for her hilarious and off-the-wall zeropointsnark reviews of Atlantis episodes, but she can obviously right anything she sets her mind to. This short serious piece is wonderfully written, and entirely plausible. I love John's POV, and his insight into the evolution of his relationship with Elizabeth is just . . . wow. No words. I don't need any, because she uses them just fine.
