Death Threats - Treasured Memories by maryavatar (PG)

[palmaceae.livejournal.com]

Hey, palmaceae here reccing Gen fic. I love how gen covers so many different categories, from friendship to humor to angst - because you guys are going to be getting the best stuff from all over the spectrum. Here we go!

Show: Stargate Atlantis
Rec Category: Gen
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard
Category: humor
Pairing: none
Het/Slash/Gen: gen
Warning: none
Author on LJ: maryavatar
Author's Website: Amused and Abused
Link: Death Threats - Treasured Memories

Why this must be read: Rodney shows John his collection of death threats. The fic comes complete with illustrations of said death threats and Rodney's commentary on each one. Rodney is so the type to have started getting death threats in high school, lol. Absolutely hilarious.

Blood on Their Hands by SelDear (PG-13)

[palmaceae.livejournal.com]

Show: Stargate SG-1
Rec Category: Gen
Characters: Samantha Carter, Jack O'Neill, Teal'c, Daniel Jackson
Pairing: none
Het/Slash/Gen: gen
Warning: dark subject matter
Author on LJ: seldear/tielan
Author's Website: SelDear @ ff.net; The Dragon Born; fic tag list
Link: Blood on Their Hands

Why this must be read: Sam came around the corner a moment too soon and was witness to something she'd rather not have seen. Sam deals with the fact that Jack and Teal'c have copious amounts of blood on their hands. An exploration into a dark issue that was occasionally hinted at in the show but never really touched upon. Really touching scene between Sam and Jack as she reassures Jack that he after all he's done, she still respects and trusts him.

...in the Ballroom with the Rope by aurora_novarum (G)

[palmaceae.livejournal.com]

Show: Stargate SG-1
Rec Category: Gen
Characters: Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter, Teal'c, Jonas Quinn, Cameron Mitchell, and Vala Mal Doran
Category: team, humor
Pairing: none
Het/Slash/Gen: gen
Warning: none
Author on LJ: aurora_novarum
Author's Website: fic list
Link: ...in the Ballroom with the Rope

Why this must be read: While stuck in quarantine at the Alpha Site and going out of their minds with boredom, SG-1 plays a game of Clue. Double dose of team-y goodness with every single member of SG-1 past and present driving each other crazy. Pity they never had a mass reunion on the show, because it totally would have turned out as hysterical as this.

Apartment 8-3 by Moonshayde (PG)

[duonoaikouka.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone. Forgot to introduce myself my first post. Sarah Lynne here with Daniel recs this month. I hope you find some good fics among my suggestions. So onto rec #2!

Show: Stargate SG-1

Rec Category: Daniel Jackson
Characters: Daniel Jackson, Original Character
Het/Slash/Gen: Gen
Warning: perceived character death, angst (trust me, it's a warning for this fic), spoilers up to and throughout S5
Author on LJ:moonshayde
Author's Website:Scribal Traditions
Link: Apartment 8-3

Why this must be read:
Wow..... Make sure you've got your hankies ready before reading this gem. But don't let the angst scare you away; there's so much more to this little baby. We get to see Daniel through the eyes of one of his neighbors, the grouchy old lady that every apartment complex or block seems to have. I just love how this fic illustrates Daniel's knack for making friends, even Maggie wants to feed cookies and tea to this "young whippersnapper".

Another aspect of Apartment 8-3 I loved was how very distinct and detailed the OC was. Her personality just sparkles with originality and cranky charm as she watches her young neighbor go through some of the toughest episodes of Stargate SG-1 Seasons 4 and 5. Seeing how these two befriend each other and their interactions with each other make for a very sweet and satisfying read. You won't regret perusing this fic.

Rediscovering Odysseus by Saucy_Kate (PG-13)

[karlamartinova.livejournal.com]

Show: Stargate SG 1 (crossover with Stargate: Atlantis)

Rec Category: Teal'c/Samantha Carter
Characters: Daniel Jackson, Vala Mal Doran, Cameron Mitchell, Teal'c, Samantha Carter
Het/Slash/Gen: Het
Warning: "Unending“ and S4 Stargate:Atlantis spoilers
Author on LJ: saucy_kate 
Author's Website: FF.net profile
Link: Rediscovering Odysseus


Why this must be read: Well, this is way more Daniel/Vala story, but I just fell in love with the small Sam/ Teal'c bits. With this pairing the more hidden, the more subtle, the more cute.

Also, I am not a big fan of Daniel/Vala, but I love them very much in this story. And Vala being Vala make you smile more than once.

Author´s Summary:The memories still didn’t quite feel like hers – like she was watching a film of another person's life, knowing how they felt and why they felt it, but never quite actually living it.

The Rules by Ky (NC-17)

[palmaceae.livejournal.com]

Show: Stargate SG-1
Rec Category: Jack O'Neill/Samantha Carter
Characters: Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter
Pairing: Jack O'Neill/Samantha Carter
Het/Slash/Gen: Het
Warning: none
Author on LJ: venom69
Author's Website: Love and War
Link: The Rules

Why this must be read: The Rules they live by. One of the hottest pieces I've ever read, and you just gotta love Sam's unique style of rationalization. I prefer to believe this was what was going on in S8, because yeah, guh.

Five Promotions Paul Davis Never Got, by Mrspollifax (PG)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Show: Stargate SG-1

Rec Category: Five Things
Characters: Paul Davis
Het/Slash/Gen: Gen
Warning: AU character death
Author on LJ: mrspollifax
Author's Website: Fic Masterlist
Link: Five Promotions Paul Davis Never Got

Why This Must Be Read: Five fantastic what-ifs? for Paul Davis, in which he gets the promotion he so richly deserves in canon but doesn't. These are fantastic peeks at potential AUs, and while #3 is my absolute favorite for the "make her write this story right now" category, #4 is my personal canon for why poor Paul is still only a major after ten years - and it is perfectly him to willingly make that choice.

Paul Davis is a fan favorite who definitely deserves more love, and these five things are a wonderful contribution to the cause!


This year, they trusted him enough to promote him; but he wonders if he could have traded that for a shorter list in Hammond's hands if only he'd argued a little bit harder.

Cakewalk by Busaikko (PG)

[sholio]

Show: Stargate Atlantis
Rec Category: John Sheppard & Rodney McKay friendship
Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay
Pairing: none
Het/Slash/Gen: Gen
Warning: none
Author on LJ: busaikko
Author's Website: fan fiction by busaikko
Link: Cakewalk

Why This Must Be Read: This story pretty much has it all in the John & Rodney friendship department: snark, banter, h/c, concussion-induced oversharing, clumsy emotional support -- it's a pitch-perfect look at their prickly but deep friendship.

(An extra bonus for me is that this story features a glimpse of a Sheppard who's, presumably, gay or bisexual, in a story that's absolutely 100% gen. You don't get that combination very often! And I liked the understated way it was handled.)

Asymptotically Approaching Inspector Clouseau by Miss Porcupine (PG-13 by me)

[mjulok.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Mjulok and I'll be your Evan Lorne rec'cer for February. (I'm new at this so if I do it wrong, don't hesitate to let me know)

Show: Stargate Atlantis
Rec Category: Evan Lorne
Characters: Evan Lorne, John Sheppard, Elizabeth Weir
Het/Slash/Gen: Gen
Warning: Set in Season 2
Author on LJ: miss_porcupine 
Author's Website: The DMZ
Link: Asymptotically Approaching Inspector Clouseau

Why this must be read: I wanted to rec all of miss_porcupine's stories but I finally decided to rec Asymptotically Approaching Inspector Clouseau. Because it is very funny, but has got a serious undertone and great characterizations. Evan Lorne is still coming to understand John Sheppard (and is starting his streak of getting in trouble as much as Sheppard's team...)

Animal Husbandry by Janis Cortese (R)

[palmaceae.livejournal.com]

Show: Stargate SG-1
Rec Category: Jack O'Neill/Samantha Carter
Characters: Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter
Pairing: Jack O'Neill/Samantha Carter
Het/Slash/Gen: Het
Warning: angst
Author on LJ: tanacawyr
Author's Website: Tan Ac Awyr/Recondita Armonia/Carmen Bizet's Fanfiction Archive
Link: Animal Husbandry

Why this must be read: Jack and Sam visit a planet where humans never evolved into the intelligent beings we know and love, and are taken captive by aliens who breed said humans. Aliens make them do it, and it's not pretty or funny this time around. I find the premise of the unintelligent humans fascinating, and it's a really interesting perspective with Sam and Jack in the position of captive animals, literally. They don't lose their humanity despite it all and even in the most dire of situations, the regs always prevail: Guilt and shame. The two most useless emotions in human history.
