Why this must be read: A wonderful story about how Parrish's and Lorne's first time with each other might go. I like that there are a lot of characterization details thrown in that make Lorne and Parrish feel like much more developed characters than we originally see on the show. The sex does fade to black at the end, but that just leaves more to the imagination for the reader, which I like immensely. It's a mix of sweet and adorable and nervous stumbling together into something new, without it being too sweet, just lovely.

Rec Category: Sam and Teal’c friendship
Characters: Sam, Teal'c, team

Why This Must Be Read: This lovely piece is a marvelous exploration of how both Teal'c and Sam look at the universe: the nature of myths and patterns in the stars, folk heroes and inspiration and childhood experiences reflecting adult understanding... It's all so perfectly them. And with some fun teamy goodness to round out the story, Constellation Serendipity is a delightful read that you'll enjoy for its lightness and then savor for its underlying depths.

Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Carson Beckett
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard/Beckett
Het/Slash/Gen: Slash
Warning: Spoilers, Set after Misbegotten
Author on LJ: kimberlite

Why this must be read: This is a sweet post-Misbegotten fic where a very troubled Carson finds comfort in the friendship and physical affection of John and Rodney. The h/c is beautifully done and the friendship between them is every bit as lovely as the sex.
