Author's website: The Tok'ra Tunnels
Link: Deep Trouble

Why This Must Be Read: Wonderful world-building - and the story is taking the show in a very different direction, while still keeping the heart of the show. This is not only Jolinar survives (in Sam), but also Apophis conquers Earth. We follow a group of escaped Tau'ri as they try to rebuild on another world, and search for allies - which eventually leads them to the Tok'ra. The story is often dark and angsty, but there is also hope, and heroism, and friendship. The story is mostly gen, with the ship only being part of the last 1/4 of the story. Great, fairly long story, well worth reading more than once!

Why This Must Be Read: Rodney at his most neurotic and snarky, John in his usual selfless heroic. The Summary Says: Getting kidnapped sucks. Getting kidnapped and locked up together with a suicidal idiot who insists on taking a bullet for you sucks even more. And what really, really sucks is not even getting your chocolate.
