The Shadow over Chatsworth by Saffronhouse (PG-13)

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: Gen
Pairing: none
Category: SG-1/SGA crossover, McKay, Jackson
Warning: violence
Author on LJ: saffronhouse
Author's Website: Good Morning, Sunshine
Link: The Shadow over Chatsworth
Why This Must Be Read: This would be a perfect rec if it were Halloween. This story gets scary—in a creepy/scary way—and has enough tension to get your heart pounding. The author gets Daniel and Rodney's voices and characters perfectly. We don't see them interacting all that much on SG-1 and SGA, but this is the way the characters would interact. She obviously has lots of affection for both these characters (and for both their virtues and their faults), and knows them well. The bad guys are really shiver-inducing and unforgettable.

(oh, and for you hurt/comfort folks, there's plenty of whumping.)

Never Stop Moving by Tipper [T]

[sholio]

Rec Category: Team
Pairing: none
Category: Atlantis, action/adventure, h/c, gen
Warning: none
Author on LJ: tipper_green
Author's Website: Tipper's Stargate Atlantis Fic
Link: Never Stop Moving

Why This Must Be Read: Tipper writes wonderful, long, team-focused gen, and this story is among my favorites. A rescue mission gone horribly wrong leaves the team injured and stranded, with an enemy army closing on them. It's rare to find action/adventure gen with a good, strong Teyla focus, but this one has her at the front-and-center of the action, battling her own insecurities when she's thrust into the position of having to fix a broken puddlejumper when Rodney's too injured to do it. Nearly all of the many and varied friendships between the team members get their moments, particularly the often-neglected Rodney/Teyla relationship, along with loads of h/c, suspense, great banter and some thrilling chase scenes.

Why This Must Be Read: Live Together. Fight Together. Die Together. Cornered by Tomin and the Ori, Daniel and Vala face losing each other. Lots of shippy moments and some great lines from Cam as well.

Extract: "So crazy, baby." He said over and over between their kissing. Finally he pulled back enough to stare into her tear-filled grey eyes. "Why, why, why did you do that? You had an out. I gave you an out, and you came back. Why?"

Vala searched his eyes, happy to have him in her arms again. It had felt like it would never be again only minutes before. "You promised me I'd never be alone again, remember?" She whispered to him, and his eyes cleared with sudden understanding. He nodded. "Live together. Fight together. Die together. We're either going to win here, or die here, together."
