Why this must be read:

This pair of stories made me wince, cry for Rodney, and just squee in slashy happiness at John's words to Rodney in Fury. Rodney gets captured and tortured in part one; part two contains the necessary comfort quotient to the hurt in part one. For such short pieces, these two stories pack a very powerful punch. One can literally feel John's determination to rescue McKay and keep him safe, no matter the odds. The sheer dedication these two share will invade your heart and mind, taking up residence for the long haul. Go and enjoy the emotion and love!

Story Summary:

Nemesis: It has been two days since your friends deserted you, Dr. McKay,' Atter tutted softly. 'No one is coming for you.'

Fury: 'I would do anything,' John says

Destiny by Orion6 (R)

Show: Stargate SG-1

Rec Category: Character: Other - Jolinar
Characters: Jolinar, Lantash
Pairing: Jolinar/Lantash
Het/Slash/Gen: Het
Warning: None
Author on LJ: Don't think so
Author's Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/345299/Orion6
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4025720/1/Destiny

Why this must be read: It is a short story, mostly about Jolinar's new host, Rosha. It is an interesting and different take on how it is to be the new host, joining an already exisiting relationship. It is also one of the only Rosha/Jolinar/Martouf/Lantash fic I have ever been able to find.

Why This Must Be Read:

When Rodney ends up caring for a toddler after a culling, everyone is surprised at how well he handles the responsibility, especially since he'd always protested against the presence of children. The reasons for Rodney's capability and attitude are revealed as the story unfolds. The little girl acts age-appropriately and the interactions aren't sugary, and I particularly enjoyed the backstory of Rodney and Jeannie's relationship.
