Why this must be read:

This is a good basic instruction, at first about what DADT and regulations about touching then how it expands to effect the friendship and trust within the team of season 9-10. Their codes and explanations are very uniquely SG1 , and interactions between the characters ring true.

Why this must be read:

There are numerous stories about darkside John Sheppard as he's defending home and friends. Yet, darkside Rodney is a far more rare bird. Dark Rodney that these two bring us... O.o... Holy carp... The lengths this Rodney will go to protect, rescue, and avenge his loved ones will leave your jaw on the keyboard and "holy flippin' carp...." going through your head on repeat. And he does that protecting and avenging in just Rodney McKay style. He's grand. He's absolute. And he's so cold about it... So blase.... Just another day saving the team, really. This look at Rodney's dedication to his team and his no bars way of protecting/avenging them will leave you gasping and just blinking. Definitely a great look at him!

Story Summary: Rodney might not be a warrior, but it’s still a mistake to underestimate him and the things he will do to make sure his team is safe.

Water, by SG Betty (PG)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Show: Stargate SG-1

Rec Category: Sha're
Characters: Sha're, Daniel Jackson
Het/Slash/Gen: Het
Pairing: Daniel/Sha're
Warnings: none
Author on LJ: sg_betty
Author's Website: Fic Index / Vid Index
Link: Water

Why This Must Be Read: This gentle little ficlet offers Sha're's reflections on Daniel and the oddly-wet world he left for Abydos. There is sweetness here, made more poignant by what we know will be lost. But whether it's the dulled blades of his razor or the showers and baths that are no longer available, Sha're has the satisfaction of knowing that her Danyel chose her over all the luxuries of Earth.

Full disclaimer: Betty wrote this for my prompt. ::is smug::


Dan’yel had left a place where water was as plentiful as sand on Abydos.
