Why This Must Be Read:

cofax7 can work the Five Things format (as is also demonstrated by Five Battles Teal'c Of Chulak Never Fought, which I've recced before).

These five AUs are in turn ironic, chilling, and heart-warming (and I never use the term "heart-warming", but I can't think of a better one here). Each is one sketched in with just enough detail to make you wish for more of the story (I'll admit that I have a particular fondness for the version of the team in "Thanksgiving").

And under all possible circumstances, her Jack is utterly Jack. Even in the one where -- well, he's not entirely himself.
