Why This Must Be Read: My AU theme this month is dark versions of John, Rodney, or both. This brilliant, creepy fic by Kho is the SGA version of Dexter, where John's a high functioning psychopath who nonetheless bonds with Rodney as much as he can. The fic ends up in quite a sci-fi place, and there's a deliciously creepy extra snippet that was cut from the final version. Unsettlingly good!

Why This Must Be Read: Cassandra Fraiser wants a bedtime story, specifically one that starts with "It was a wild and stormy night ...". And thus we hear the tale of SG-1's adventure to a stormy planet where they find an object which Sam insists she just has to take back to the SGC for study. And we all know what happens when they do that, don't we? This is a wonderfully written SG-1 Team adventure story, by an author whose stories I greatly enjoyed 'back in the day'. As far as I can tell, her work is only available via the Wayback Archive (and as with most content on the Archive, who knows for how much longer it'll remain accessible).
