I decided to pull up an older story for this rec, and Fuzzy Duck Smell is a crack!fic classic. It's Mpreg, but there's no real pregnancy in it--Rodney lays an egg. Actually, 3 eggs, and the absurdity of the story just keeps going while remaining bizarre but internally consistent. The dialog shines, the comedic timing is gold, and the whole thing makes me laugh.

Pairing: Sam/Cameron
Category: het, romance
Warning: het
Author on LJ: synecdochic
Author's Website: Venus in furs
Link: Kindness falls like rain

Why This Must Be Read: There are no words to describe how much I love this fic. It's a follow up to "Recovering the Satellites" which I have rec'd before. The characterisation is spot on, as always - this fic really gets inside the characters, Sam especially and Cameron's never ending patience and kindness and wow.. I don't think I have any more words to describe the fic.. Sam/Cam fans NEED to read it!

Why This Must Be Read: What can I say that will sum up this little gem adequately?! Sam and Cameron banter, perfectly in character and brilliantly funny. This has some lovely Sam and Vala banter too which is great as it reflects the subtle friendship we've seen emerge in the latest season.

Why This Must Be Read: I was excited to find Elizabeth/Teyla poetry and this series of eight poems did not disappoint, especially the first piece, "Weft". (I don't want to say too much or else my talking will be longer than the poems.)

No Return, by Redbyrd (PG)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

I'm quite pleased to be doing episode related recs this month! There are lots and lots of gems out there... ::rubs hands in anticipation::

Rec Category: Episode related

Pairing: none
Categories: episode related, gen, Jack O'Neill, team, drama, character study
Warnings: none
Author on LJ: redbyrd_sgfic
Author's Website: Redbyrd's Stargate Fanfiction
Link: No Return

Why This Must Be Read: Redbyrd's website is one of the first stops for anyone wanting to read gen episode related fics. In No Return, Redbyrd takes two episodes – Beneath the Surface and Point of No Return – and draws some excellent parallels, giving wonderful characterization to regular characters and breathing marvelous life into new ones.

Jack's unsettling struggles with the recovery of his personality after the mindstamp makes him a lot more sympathetic to Marty's own confused memories. Tanner and the others become real people, genuinely frightened of the Air Force and honestly doing what they think is best. And the final team discussion, when Daniel puts their reactions on P3R-118 into some much-needed perspective, is wonderfully healing for all the members of SG-1.

Like most of Redbyrd's episode-related fics, you don't get much retelling of scenes we already know; those that she does include are told from a unique perspective. What you really get are the missing scenes before, after, and between, complete with characterizations and explanations that make the episode shine. No Return is a story that even non-Martin Lloyd fans (like me!) can thoroughly enjoy. And if you do like Marty, then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go read!
