Why This Must Be Read: You've read Retrograde, right? Well, here's the sequel and it's just as amazing. Recovery is just wonderfully written and addicting to read because it immediately follows up on the conclusion of Retrograde, as we see how members of SG-1 sees the expedition now as they rebuild from the attack by the Trust but as soon as things settled into an awkward but somewhat acceptable situation, things are shaken up a bit again and it's back into the action again. ltlj has since added more excellent stories to this universe, but Recovery was the first.

Why This Must Be Read: A few weeks ago, Kellifer offered to take requests for ficlets. I asked for early Sam and Daniel friendship, and I got this little gem as a result.

Daniel spent the first few episodes of S1 just trying to cope. In this ficlet, the inevitable crash takes place; but as heartbreaking as it is to see Daniel so shredded and lost, there's also the sweetness of seeing how he instinctively turns to Sam for help… and gets both understanding and comfort.

This ficlet is less than 400 words, but it really packs a wallop. Go read The Point at Which We Break. You'll want to hug them both.
