Why This Must Be Read: Sometimes SG-1 loses, and sometimes it's the fault of individual choices. Luckily, Daniel has Sam to help pick up the pieces afterwards.

This is bleak and bittersweet, as Sam and Daniel, with perfect characterization, face their failures and the desperate need to just keep going. It's not a happy fic, but it rings all too true and is well worth the read.


Sam is too tired to think that far ahead. When she gets back to earth she’s going to hug Cassie extra hard for the little girl she couldn’t save, and she’ll think of the grave she and Daniel covered with grass in its green and quiet clearing, and she’ll appreciate the closure it’s given her. Then she’ll get on with the fight, whatever it brings.

Rec Category: Tok'ra

Why this must be read: This is the story of Korra getting a new host when he crash lands on Earth. We follow him and his new host, as they get to know each other and navigate the troubles that arise since Korra's new host is an 18 year old who lives with his overprotective mother. I always find it interesting to see stories that look at Earth from the outside, as we get here with Korra. I also love hearing about how symbiote and host get to know each other, and here we also get them running away to find Stargate Command. Cute and interesting story!
