An Eventful Year, by Miera_C (pg-13)

[ed-84.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: Elizabeth Weir
Pairing: Elizabeth Weir/Cameron Mitchell, background Lorne/Kate
Categories: het. AU. Romance. Elizabeth Weir. Cameron Mitchell. John Sheppard. SG-1/SGA crossover. Evan Lorne. Kate Heightmeyer.
Warnings: None.
Author on LJ:miera_c.
Author's Website: N/A
Link: An Eventful Year

Why This Must Be Read: Because Miera_c writes Jane Austen style fic that blows my mind, and I don't even read Jane Austen books. This is old fashioned romance at its best. I was originally weary of reading a period piece, but wow, this author brings a level of talent to writing fanfiction that I see rarely in others. The language and style is impressive, and how she writes Cameron and Elizabeth's evolving relationship sells you the story with no qualms or disbelief. Plus, John also stares as Elizabeth's brother, and the main cast makes a great read for all the friendships and relationships involved.

This is a unique gem in more than one sense. An AU based off of Jane Austin books, and its based around a pairing that should be cracky, but somehow just works.

The Man with the Soul so Dead, by Medie, NC-17

[ed-84.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: Elizabeth Weir
Pairing: Elizabeth Weir/Teyla Emmagan
Categories: femslash. AU. Elizabeth Weir. Teyla Emmagan. John Sheppard.
Warnings: None.
Author on LJ:medie.
Author's Website: N/A
Link: The Man with the Soul so Dead

Why This Must Be Read: I think one of my favorite things about SGA is how easily you can put any of the characters into an AU setting and it still totally works. Here, Medie writes an AU where Elizabeth is a Federal judge, Teyla is a US Marshal assigned to protect her, Ronon is Teyla's partner, John is a prosecuter, etc... It's a wonderful, intelligent read with the cast perfectly protrayed.

I don't often read femslash, but I highly recommend this fic to everyone simply because the story and characterization is stunning. Authors like Medie are a rare breed - quality work in a variety of fandoms and ships.

The Siege by miera_c (R)

[vickysg1.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: John Sheppard/Elizabeth Weir
Pairing: John/Elizabeth, Janet/Ronon, Laura/Carson, Kate/Lorne
Category: romance, angst
Warning: sexual situations
Author on LJ: miera_c
Author's Website: N/A
Link: The Siege

Why This Must Be Read: This fic is part of the wildwest_lantis AU. If you're not familiar with it... Ok, I don't think that applies to anyone, right? If you're really not familiar with this AU, go read the other fics before this one 'cos you probably won't understand some things or another. As all her other fics, Miera just wrote it beautifully, mixing angst and romance so perfectly that even though it's long, you can't stop reading until you're done.

Right or Wrong by Nat (PG)

[hariboo.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: Daniel Jackson/Vala Mal Doran
Pairing: Daniel/Vala,
Category: Daniel/Vala, ust, angst, episode tag, Daniel, Vala, character study
Warning: post "Bounty", pre "Bad Guys"
Author on LJ: natalia5345
Author's Website: Unknown
Link: Right or Wrong

Why This Must Be Read: Stemmed of the particularly snarky exchange that Daniel and Vala have during the beginning of "Bad Guys" that ends with Vala's line of, "I don't think you want to start thinking what I think." Nat gives a nice look at how the exchange came to be. Daniel is Daniel, hiding from what he feels, but he also lets go for a brief moment before he retreats back into his himself. Vala reaction is done very  well -  she does not makes any apologies for what she feels and for Daniel's behaviour. Good girl, very nicely done. Vala, too.

Cursed Be, by Joy (NC-17)

Rec Category: Jack/Daniel
Pairing: Jack/Daniel, Daniel/Others
Category: Slash
Warning: Violence, coercive sex, dark
Author on LJ: riverfox
Author's Website: http://www.joysgate.com
Link: Cursed Be

Why This Must Be Read:

I'm not a big vampire fan. That said, every once in a while a story reaches out, grabs me by the throat and demands I pay closer attention to it. This is one of those stories. It opens on another planet where Daniel has just killed a creature that attacked him while he was alone in a temple. From that moment on, we see him adjusting to his new reality; not overcoming it, adjusting to it, even reveling in it. Joy's treatment of the subject matter is uncompromising. There is no magic cure, no quick out and we're left knowing no one's going to walk away unscathed. A satisfying read to sink your teeth into.

Wait, by Telepathicpixie (PG)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: Sha're
Pairing: none
Categories: Sha're, drabble, characters study, episode related
Warnings: none
Author on LJ:telepathicpixie
Author's Website: TelepathicPixie Productions
Link: Wait

Why This Must Be Read: Telepathicpixie packs incredible power and strength and characterization into just 250 words. This is Sha're, beaten but unbowed, as she awakens for the first time "alone in the room, if not in her head." And even as Amaunet thinks she is crushed, and even as Sha're is forced to acknowledge that she cannot stop the demon that has take up residence in her body...

Well, Amaunet doesn't know the meaning of strong.

Sha're does.

Read this tiny ficlet and be awed, both by the author and the character. This is Sha're, personified, and it's good.
