Why This Must Be Read: Vala thinks Sam's oh-so-sober rationalizations for having fun are adorable, but she's more than willing to join her!

A lovely post-series friendship piece, complete with the promise of allies surviving the Ori. What more do you need?


"Oh, no," Vala replied, breezily. "Just wondering. Teal'c said we were coming here to reconnect with long-missed allies. Colonel Mitchell said we'd be spreading the good word about the final defeat of the Ori. The IOA spokesman said we'd be renegotiating for technology from a position of greater strength. And Daniel gave you a wink and told us not to have too much fun. One of these things is not like the others, Sam. What are we really doing on Hebridan?"

Why This Must Be Read: I always hated that they killed off Janet Fraiser and this is one of the few stories I can read where her death remains kind of canonical and yet not. There's hope in this one and a lot of love for a much loved character.

There is a hinted at Jack/Daniel in this so I've changed the tags accordingly.

Why This Must Be Read: Every once in a while you read a story that really stays with you and grants you insight into parts of the world around you. For me, this is one of those stories. The premise is quite simple really: Jack and Daniel crash land on an unknown planet, Jack is gravely injured and neither one of them know where the Stargate is. Or if there even is one. From there Mitch H takes this story and does some absolutely amazing world-building. What Daniel finds as he makes contact is a viking culture soured and corrupted by Nirrti's meddling, with a very rigid social structure and hierarchy. If he's going to get Jack help, Daniel has no choice but to adapt to the local social norms, but his blond hair and blue eyes mark him as a Sky. And Skies... well, Skies have a very definite place in society. They are both revered and given the least amount of freedom.

This story has eight parts and tells the story of Daniel as he gradually learns to adapt to the world he's found himself in and then, eventually, their journey through this world as he, Jack and their new-found companions travel to the city where they might just find a stargate. Be warned, for all that it an amazingly-written story with interesting characters and plot, it's not an easy read. But, it's worth it.
