Top Twenty Tips for the Unusually Realistic Overlord: Daniel Jackson by Biblio, PG-13

[zats-clear.livejournal.com]

It has come to my attention that there are still one or two people who may not be familiar with this bit of fun.  Let me assure you, it is Absolutely hysterical!

Rec Category: Daniel Jackson
Pairing:  Daniel Jackson/Jack O'Neill
Category: Daniel Jackson/Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, slash, humor, Episode Tag - Absolute Power
Warning: slash
Author on LJ:  unknown
Author's Website:  Biblio's work on JD-Divas
Link:  Top Twenty Tips for the Unusually Realistic Overlord:  Daniel Jackson

Why This Must Be Read:  This is every bit as funny as the title would have you believe.  It makes canon references to events and people, lobs arch (yes, Daniel, you are ARCH) snark in your general direction, and is a thoroughly enjoyable dissection of Absolute Daniel, evil and sexy Overlord incarnate wearin' them hot pants.  Be sure to follow it up with Top Twenty Survival Tips for Evil Overlord's Captive Plaything:  Jack O'Neill.  In the interests of completeness, you know!

Five, Four, Three, Two, One (Zero) by busaikko (NC-17)

Last rec for the month! Hope you enjoyed them.

Rec Category: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Pairing: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Category: Slash, character study, episode related
Spoilers: Quarantine
Author on LJ: busaikko
Author's Website: Fan Fiction by Busaikko
Link: Five, Four, Three, Two, One (Zero)


Why This Must Be Read:
Half character study, half relationship study, this story details a sharp and amazing background for John Sheppard, one that's jossed immediately after Quarantine. This John doesn't have a typical childhood, in either a RL or a fannish sense, and he grows up learning simply to survive. Scenes from John's childhood in Japan and Africa, plus his life in college are intercut with glimpses of his life in Atlantis as he gets to know Rodney. The whole thing paints an intense portrait of their lives and their relationship together.

"Pretend" by Ruby Caspar

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Hello! I'm greenconverses and I will be your Sheppard/Teyla reccer for the remainder of March! You'll be seeing a lot of me in the few days. ;)

Rec Category: Sheppard/Teyla

Pairing: Sheppard/Teyla
Category: Romance
Warning: Het, NC-17, Spoilers S4 and speculation for S5
Author on LJ: ruby_caspar
Link: Pretend

Why This Must Be Read:

John and Teyla have to pretend to be married to appease some new allies, and they get wonderfully competitive trying to turn each other on during a banquet. It's a great UST piece with resolution near the end, and nice and long. It's set sometime after Season Four and Ruby manages to deal with Teyla's pregnancy without character bashing and respect to Teyla's choice, which has been rare in some John/Teyla fics lately.

Defining Sam from A to Z

. The title is pretty self explanatory. Samantha Carter is many things, so with 26 letters of the english alphabet each writer attempted (with most excellence, I need add) to define Sam in their own ways. And there lies the beauty of this collection of ficlets. One character, 26 letters for

27 ficlets, so many ways to define Sam. Each one short and sweet, absolutely fantastic. Fact: This rec doesn't do justice to this ficlets. Look they even included a bonus fic, they are that awesome.

"There But For The Grace" by audreyscastle (PG-13)

[stargazercmc.livejournal.com]

Rec Category: Gen
Pairing: None
Category: SGA, Gen, Zelenka
Warning: Spoilers for "Grace Under Pressure"
Author on LJ: audreyscastle
Author's Website: None I'm aware of
Link: There But For The Grace

Why This Must Be Read:
First of all, it's Zelenka. And for a character as awesome as Radek Zelenka is, it's a crying shame there isn't more fic out there that focuses on him. Secondly, and most importantly, this fic beautifully offers a deeper look at the heart and mind of Zelenka during a time of crisis. Through humor, caring and a strong personal relationship that haunts him, we're given a glimpse of Zelenka never seen on the show.

Check it out.
