Merry Birthday by holdouttrout (PG)

Why This Must Be Read:
This is the nearly opposite birthday fic from "Cure from the Common Birthday" and yet it is as telling of Jack and Sam's friendship. Here we get a quick look at Sam having to face not only Christmas but her birthday post "Threads" and the first without her dad. Jack comes in perfect form as a true friend, even if he is living in DC most of the time.

Why This Must Be Read: With a title like that, do you really need to know more?

Headgear and sparring and sports arguments and restaurants... oh, just go read it. And laugh. :)


"Ronon Dex," he said solemnly, "If you heed nothing else I say, heed this; do not watch the newer Star Wars movies."

Why This Must Be Read:
This is Season 10 teamy goodness at its best. SG-1 is trapped in a hole, slightly whumped, and they start to unravel a bit. She captures every single person right on the mark, including an absent Jack in light hearted banter. If you never saw SG-1 as a family before, you would now.

Why This Must Be Read:
This is a fabulous little insight post "Fire and Water", where Jack has to step back and digest everything that's happened and Sam is the perfect person to take a seat next to him and let him talk it out.

Before and After by rushingwind (PG-13)

Why This Must Be Read: A great John/Elizabeth fic written for the recent swficathon. The inspiration came from a ST: Voyager ep, but even if you don't know this show, it's easy to understand. In this fic, Elizabeth travels backward through time. This is basically what you can call a fix-it fic.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a very richly created Mind connection fic. Yoiu can tell the author put a lot of though into how each man would react to being stripped bare and unable to hide anything from the other. Very true to who I believe Jack and Daniel are.

Sneak peak...
"General, we have a slight problem," Jack said, stepping off the ramp and facing his commanding officer. This is so bad.

"It sure is," Daniel sighed as he answered, moving to stand beside Jack.

Hammond shot Daniel a strange look, but addressed Jack. "What is the problem, Colonel?"

"Daniel and I seem to have..." Jack hesitated, wondering exactly how to put it. It was going to sound ridiculous no matter what he said.

"Become telepathically linked," Daniel finished for him, rarely having a problem finding the right words.

"You're joking." Hammond's face went pale.

"I only wish I was." Jack shook his head.


Bonus feature ...Art! Not mine
As this is my last rec for the month I thought I'd give a bonus feature to my rec. I have not been a Stargate fan for a very long I didn't really even pay attenion to it even though RDA was in it.Then one day I can across some artwork created by lizardspots and was enthralled by the emotions that screamed at me from all her pictures but this one especially. I actually had to write and ask her who they were. The rest as they say is history. I leave you with a copy of the pictures as I first saw it a B/W line drawing. She has since coloured it but I still love the first version I saw best. Enjoy!

A link to her colour version.

Why This Must Be Read: This fic is just awesome. It's probably what most of us wants to see after what happened in Adrift/Lifeline. It's a must read if you like fix-it fics.

I love this interesting twist on the angry natives villain story where Sam and Jack are captured and held pending Daniel's ability to get them released. Double bonus for ingenius!Sam and her ability to pwn.

As often as Daniel's many deaths is a running joke, Daniel once again facing death counts the most horrible ways to die. You can't help but feel for Daniel in this cute little fic and thank your lucky stars you don't meet his fate!

Why This Must Be Read:
Many of us just love to villify Dr. MacKenzie after the events in "Legacy" but in this adorable piece, Latyon Colt makes us sympathize with McKenzie, just a wee bit. He's forced to have a group session with SG-1 post Daniel's descension. Poor McKenzie.
