Mid-Month Reminder

[angelsgracie.livejournal.com]

Holy cow! It's the middle of November!

Just a couple of reminders.

1. Rec'cers please do not tag your own entries. The volunteers have brought more than one entry to me that had been tagged incorrectly. I know it may be habit to do the tagging on your own, but it really doesn't help anyone. So please, help us out and don't tag your own entries. The taggers will have to remove them and/or go through and make corrections. It's just easier all the way around if you don't. Thank you!

2. We have 22 volunteers this month. So far, four rec'cers have only made one rec. Six rec'cers have made none. Please try to get a rec up. With Thanksgiving coming around I know people are going to say that they couldn't rec because of the holiday, so please get one or two in this week. :)

And that's it! Not too shabby! The recs are really flowing in! Just if you haven't rec'ced yet, please do so! Thanks!

If I Could Go On Sleeping, by Meredith T. Tasaki (PG-13)

Why This Must Be Read: In the past, I recced a wonderfully feel-good story about Sha're surviving FIAD, and Daniel and Sha're getting their happily-ever-after ending. In this powerful fic, Sha're survives FIAD – and then she and Daniel discover that happily-ever-after isn't all that easy. And as the events surrounding Shifu play themselves out, and Sha're is denied her son through Oma's and Daniel's actions… well.

All this slowly unfolds as background to the actual story, which essentially retells Meridian with the inclusion of a rather estranged Sha're. While she and Daniel still love each other, there's also a great deal of strain between them. Sha're sees Oma as the being that stole her son, and now she wants to take her husband, too? And will Daniel's feelings of guilt, and reluctance to - as he sees it - betray Sha're yet again, force him to refuse Oma's offer, even if it means his final death?

Strongly written with beautifully rendered emotions and reactions, If I Could Go On Sleeping offers us a bleakly realistic picture of two people, scarred and confused, trying to find their way towards acceptance. There's wonderful support from the other members of the SGC – and, in particular, an amazing confrontation between Sha're and Teal'c that speaks of deep understanding. Great Jack moments, and Sam moments, and Janet moments… Add a terrific altercation between Sha're and Jonas Quinn, and a clearly warm friendship between Sha're and Sam and Janet, and a final line with parallels that will leave you gasping, and you've got a rewrite of Meridian that you'll remember for a long, long time.
