Why This Must Be Read: Miko is almost entirely a fanon creation. We saw her for about 30 seconds in "Letters From Pegasus," smooshed the barely-mentioned name of Dr. Kusanagi in with her character (dear God, we have to have at least one female on the show with the ATA gene, right?), and a large portion of the fandom fell in love with Miko's sheer potential. Dumais was in one episode before she died in a fairly tragic and horrific way. Brighid takes these characters and writes the quiet, behind-the-scenes story of their relationship, and shows how Miko grieves, and eventually moves on while keeping Dumais' memory alive.

Why This Must Be Read: How can someone possibly rec a month's worth of Teal'c and Daniel friendship fics without touching upon Forever in a Day?

Debby gives us a quiet moment in the infirmary of Daniel and Teal'c together. It's poignant and touching and wistful, as Teal'c comes to ask for forgiveness – correctly recognizing that "You did the right thing" is not quite the same as "I forgive you" – and Daniel isn't quite ready to say it. And there's chocolate walnut cookies. And what seems, on the outside, to be a truly bizarre gift, but one that is beautifully and simply Teal'c.

Short and aching, Little Things is a solemn episode tag that just feels right.
