Author's Summary:

Jack doesn’t like surprises. In fact, they piss him off. He’s had enough of them to last him till his final day. However, life doesn’t seem to agree. Whoever hates him up there decided to give him a real doozy today.



Why This Must Be Read:

While I kinda liked Pete in general, he really wasn't meant to be with Sam Carter. But Jack's not stepped up to let Sam know how he feels, either.

An interesting meeting between two of the men in Sam Carter's life.

Why This Must Be Read: Author’s Summary: The past will always find you, especially if you have something it wants.

This one is focussed on Vala's backstory, as you might have guessed, but also on how Daniel has a unique insight into her and her personality, and it is this knowledge that is at the core of their relationship, along with a lovely supportive team. A dark fic, but also angsty and romantic, with a strong serving of hurt/comfort.

( You see, Daniel? You might not have recognized what Sam did just now, let me explain it to you. )

Why This Must Be Read:For my last rec of the month: I'm pretty lucky to rec this, and so are you, for lo, I have commissioned fic! Also, Nagi’s been rec’ced already this month, so why not continue the trend? Her writing is fabulous. She happened to be writing 50 Kisses to prompts, and I jumped at the chance to request a Daniel/Vala one, and it is short but so, so sweet and lovely. New fic, just for me, and now, all of you! (So, sue me, I cheated a bit with this rec, and also, two in one day, but I'm a bit worried about my time for the next few days, so sorry. Thanks for bearing with me this month anyway!).
( Daniel was allowed to kiss Vala, but he respected her personal boundaries. )
