Why this must be read:

At first I thought this was your typical SG1 adventure story (i.e. go to planet, meet aliens, get in trouble, get out of trouble, go home) with a side of Dan/Sam. Then a jaw-dropping turn (and you should have heard my scream when it happened!) at the end of Chapter 2 turned this into an emotional adventure that just made me want to weep, laugh, and cheer in various turns. Thraesja managed to draw me in extremely fast with wonderful description, emotional heart-string tugs, and spot-on character voices. This has now become one of my absolute fav Dan/Sam adventure stories. Definitely check out this and the author's other wonderful fics!

Story Summary: Jacob recruits SG-1 to help deal a crucial blow to the forces of Anubis and reunite them with an old foe. The question is: When has a Tok’ra mission ever gone well?

Why This Must Be Read: Treat yourself to a gorgeous moment off-world, when the team takes the time to appreciate alien beauty on a quiet misson. Sprinkled with lovely characterization and evocative imagery, this ficlet can't help but make you smile!


The night had been hushed for a long time, other than the occasional strong breeze through the trees, other than the team’s own breathing and occasional soft remark.

Why this must be read: Were those pods really safe? PostAurora. Oh yeah, and shameless Shep whumping. And as it turns out, there's a lot of Rodney angst here as well! An excellent tag that explores not only the aftermath of Aurora but the events of Trinity as well, settling the trust issues between Sheppard and McKay in a way that I felt was both realistic for the both of them and satisfying. As the summary says, were those pods safe? And the consequences of not knowing is quite a punch in the gut. Great Sheppard and McKay - and even Carson - friendship with what I felt was a great resolve.

Why this must be read: I love those "slice of life" fics that give us a look at the future/what ifs. This short and sweet piece makes me smile every time I read it, and not just because of Jack's sense of humor.

Summary: Writing Christmas cards is a lot more work than Jack expected.
