Why This Must Be Read: I love alternate universes and Stargate gives us some great ones built right into canon. Rearranging Fate is a gorgeous extension of Kawalsky’s perspective in Point of View—when he and Dr. Carter come to the main SG-1 universe through the quantum mirror—and then of the alternate universe they came from. I love archeologist Daniel being snatched out of Egypt by the US military and the differences in relationships and missions that are sometimes huge and sometimes subtle. A long and satisfying read.

Kawalsky was just about ready to turn in. He looked around at the gray walls. "Same old government decor." The last several days of the Goa'uld attack seemed like a dream when he looked around at the undamaged and peaceful surroundings of the SGC. He was grateful to hear a knock on the door. Probably someone for the tray. "Come in," he called.

I love everything Redbyrd writes. She is the queen of ep tags and tying canon together. This is one of my favorites and I'm delighted to see it recced here.

Everything by Redbyrd is such quality and with so much of fandom now focused on AO3, I just want everyone to know where to find it!

Sidebar: I'm excited about the comm coming to DW and hope it brings in more folks! What do you think about maybe promoting it on a comm like fandom_on_dw?

[fignewton]

I'm all for promotion, anywhere, any time! I, too, hope we'll see more active participants. We can't depend on you to rec every month. ;)

Awesome! As long as I'm not stepping on your mod role, I'll plan to post a little promo blurb. There is so much good fic but I'm starting to scrape the bottom of my bookmarks!

Oh, I know that one. Happily, even with the fandom so much quieter these days, people are still posting great fics. I may have slowed down these past few years, but I've still managed to rec well over 1,000 of them. :)

Thanks for the promotion - I assure you, any kind of signal boost is appreciated.
