Why This Must Be Read: This charming, gentle story treats us to Jonas on his very first solo trip outside the Mountain. The imagery is rich and the characterization is perfect as Jonas enjoys cherry pie, his breath of freedom, and the delightful ordinariness of life on Earth.

Leaning back with his tea, he took stock: here he was, a truly astronomical distance from home, enjoying a peaceful breakfast among the inhabitants of another planet, on his day off work at a thrilling place of employment. Granted, he was still being tailed by his very own personal pair of airmen, and his commanding officer seemed to be waiting for him to screw up every few seconds, but all things considered, the life of Jonas Quinn was taking a turn for the better.

Link: Five Things for Jonas and Hammond

Why This Must Be Read: Paian writes the most wonderful Five Things - I've recced many of them before. This pair of Five Things features Jonas Quinn and George Hammond: five times Jonas wanted to go home, and five things George did when he retired.

I very much like that Paian chose to archive these two together, for the sheer poignancy of the sharp contrast of what Jonas and Hammond face. Once Jonas walked away from Kelowna in Meridian, he never really had a home again; and in the bright and gentle future that Paian lovingly paints for George, he enjoys home in every sense of the word, in both his family and his choices.

Paian offers wincing angst with the first set and then alleviates it with sweet hope in the second. In both cases, you'll find yourself enjoying every word.

Why This Must Be Read: This is more an episode fix than episode related, I suppose. :)

I'm not a fan of S9-10, but I have a special place in my heart for fics that fix the travesty of the casual abandonment of Jonas and Langara to the Ori. In Aggravated Destruction of Property, Kalquessa treats us to a delightfully bemused Jonas, faced with a whirlwind of destructive tendencies and a killer smie: to wit, Vala. Because SG-1 doesn't leave its people behind... especially when people write such excellent stories to fix things when canon does!

Author's Website: List of My Stories
Link: What Would Jack Do?

Author's summary: SG-1 and other SGC members get in situations where they follow a Jack O'Neill philosophy –- bitch and eat cake.

Why This Must Be Read: In a series of ten short fics spanning Seasons 1 through 9, Aurora showcases Jack's most Jack-like qualities by showing the effects of his influence on the people around him. Sometimes he's physically in the scene, sometimes he's referred to or he sends a note, but he's present in every moment of this, from Ferretti thinking twice about eating the 'special' cake to Teal'c trying the 'going wacko' thing in the time loop, from Griff giving guff to enemy Jaffa to Carter confronting her new command, from descended Daniel discovering how he still fits in with his team to Mitchell finding out why knee problems kind of go with the job. Each fic is an entertaining, insightful gem, and the reflected aspects of Jack are focused beautifully in the last one, which is from the point of view of Jack himself -- and lets him have the last word.

A wonderful portrait-in-mosaic. Plus, there's cake! Lots and lots of cake. :-)

About 10,300 words total.

Why This Must Be Read: "Meanwhile, we received word that five more planets have fallen to the Ori, including Hebridan and Langara. So far, we haven't heard anything from our allies on either world."

Whether or not you're a fan of Jonas Quinn (or Season Six, for that matter), a man who was a member of SG-1 for an entire year deserves more than a single throwaway line. I always love stories that fix this egregious omission by the show, and Beanpot's contribution is especially fun!

Jonas tracks two strangers from a bar, convinced by the woman's "Hello Kitty" barrettes that they're from Earth. He's quite proud of the tracking skills he learned from Jack and Teal'c - until, of course, he discovers that he's been neatly tracked himself. Exhausted from being on the run and longing for the sanctuary of Earth, he's ready to risk it all on the chance that maybe, just maybe, he can finally call someplace "home" again.

Great banter and characterization, and a lovely homecoming. After all, we don't leave our people behind, do we?

Author's Website: when the floods roll back

Link: Look to the Heavens and Number the Stars, parts one and two, and The Silent Language of the Star (a companion fic)

Why This Must Be Read: I read this fic – and later, its companion story – and they completely blew me away.

…That’s not enough? :)

Minervacat introduces us to a superbly-realized original character, Claire, who is recruited to the SGC by Jack at Daniel’s behest. Claire slowly takes over the staggeringly difficult task of cataloging the artifacts that accumulate over the years. With time, she befriends the characters we know and love – especially Janet, her main source of gossip, and Daniel, who never returns her books. Yet Minervacat cleverly evades the Mary-Sue trap for Claire; this original character remains quietly on the sidelines, interacting only enough to be a part of the story without interfering in the events as we know them, or knowing more than she should.

Covering some seven years of SG-1 history – including a fascinating side-trip into the AU of Moebius – these two fics are elegantly written, with just the right touches of humor and distress to make Claire amazingly real.

A librarian at the SGC, with all that entails. Both these stories are too wonderful to be missed!

(Reccer's note: The author posted the fic with a rating of R; when I asked her why, she said she didn't remember. :) Since there's nothing to warrant that rating, I'm reccing it here as PG-13.)

Why This Must Be Read:

Okay, best way I can put this is that I have been craving two kinds of fic lately.

Romance
Jack/Jonas

Needless to say, I find it hard to find fic that fits both of those criteria. This one does. And it happens to do so while allowing the men to be themselves. I don't ship Daniel with Jack, but it's implied here and I can go with it because of the ultimate goal. This is a very nice story with romance and a tidbit of angst and mourning. Tis a good read!

Edit: Ok, you'd think the owner of the comm would know better. Hee! Anyway, to read the fic, you do need to register to The Cartouche. Doesn't take but a minute and there's a bunch of wonderful fic there. My bad! ;)

Link: And You Can Go Home Again

Why This Must Be Read:
Aside from the briefest side comment about Langara in early season 10, we don't know what happens to Jonas Quinn after "Fallout." In this story, after the Ori take Langara, Jonas, along with a few others, manages to sneak off-planet on a ship left behind by the Lucien Alliance and heads towards Earth, hoping the SGC and SG-1 can help his people.

niamaea gives us wonderful Jonas as he makes his haphazard, surviving-by-the-seat-of-his-pants trip across the galaxy. Along the way she gives us some really solid introspection about home and belonging and regrets and who Jonas is after everything he's seen.

Author's Website: When the Floods Roll Back
Link: Look to the Heavens and Number the Stars, The Silent Language of the Star

Why This Must Be Read:
Meet Claire Carson, the poor soul roped into being librarian and cataloger for the SGC. Claire is a wonderful character in her own right, but also provides us a great outside perspective on SG-1 and SGC as a whole and just how crazy everyone's job is.

minervacat had me sold on her from her first impression of Jack, when he shows up in her office to offer her the job.

Claire's an outsider at the facility - mostly keeping to herself while she manages the books and artifacts - not on a 'gate team and near the end of the gossip chain. But over the years (the stories span from around season 2 to 9) she develops friendships with many of her co-workers, some of whom are familiar to us and some of whom are original characters in their own right. In "Look to the Heavens and Number the Stars" we learn how Claire gets the job, and why the sheer nature of it (cataloging things no system was developed to deal with, Daniel's tendency to wander off with books and never return them) is enough to drive her crazy. We see her exasperated fondness for Jack, her wonderful bond with Daniel (whom she accidentally knocks unconscious with a heavy volume of Sappho's poetry), and the friendship she develops with Janet, who keeps her in the gossip chain. The sequel, "The Silent Language of the Star," follows Claire's experience during four specific episodes, giving us a wonderful new perspective on the stories.

Through Claire you fall in love with many of these characters all over again, laugh with them and grieve for them, all while getting a new perspective on who they are and what exactly it means to be a part of SGC.

Link: Untitled S10 Snippets

Why This Must Be Read: I'm not much of a fan of the last two seasons of SG-1; to date, I've only made a single post-S8 rec, and that one heavily featured Jack. But just to show that I can be fair about things, here are two fic snippets for the price of one, both featuring the Ori storyline and both wonderful snapshots of characterization and friendship.

The first is apocafic, featuring Landry – who I would actually like, onscreen, if he even vaguely resembled the guy in this snippet – and Walter. (Who doesn't love Walter?) It's bleak and beautiful and heart-wrenching, and it's a silent tribute to the characters we love.

And then there's the second, which picks up on a single throwaway line in S10 – "Langara fell" – and runs with it. Even non-S6 fans like me were frustrated and felt that Jonas deserved better than just a passing, unemotional remark from Sam. This snippet rectifies that in a beautifully satisfying and teamy moment.

If you like the newer seasons of SG-1, you'll love this. And if you don't care for it much, like me, try these snippets anyway. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Why This Must Be Read:

Who didn't have a chuckle at O'Neill's flippant remark that "Hammond is insisting SG1 needs a socio-politcial nerd to offset our overwhelming coolness."

This very funny little ficlet gives that assertion the boot. No-one is cool when it comes to the creepy crawlies.

This is also a lovely Team based fic, where Jonas is settling in, and things aren't quite so awkward.

Why this must be read:

Okay, I admit that I'm in a VERY angst-y mood tonight. But that moment in Nightwalkers sticks so vividly in my mind. The look on Jonas' face... I cannot deny the fact that my heart goes out to this character. I am a minority; I know, but it doesn't change the fact that I absolutely love this character.

Finding this little 'gem' is very nice. When I first read it, I was touched by Sam's compassion and understanding. Being a Jonas/Sam shipper, I love a story where they recognize what's going on between them and Drea handles it in a way that perfectly compliments the anguish that Jonas is feeling after their trip to find Flemming.

It's a short story, but it's very sweet with just enough angst thrown in to be exactly what's needed when life is a bit angst-y and dramatic.

Author on LJ: Not Known
Author's Website: Jonas Fic
Link: Prophecy's Burden

Why This Must Be Read:

Besides the fact that this is probably my all-time favorite Jonas fic? *g* Well it is. I make no delusions about the popularity of this character. But in all honesty, if it weren't for Jonas Quinn, I would not be watching Stargate SG-1. So when an author as talented as Drea writes a beautiful fic about him, I want to pay it homage. I was going to use this fic as my finale, but I didn't want to wait any longer to share it.

The story takes place during the Season Six episode Prophecy. It's more a missing scene than anything else. Jonas is overwhelmed with guilt about the accident that happens to Sam. He blames himself for the fact that she almost died and when he goes to check on her, he's shown nothing but compassion and understanding. Sam reiterates the sentiment of the episode that Jonas has worth to SG-1 not because of his abilities to 'see' the future, but because he himself is important. As it turns out, he's extremely important to her.

There's a rawness in the scene when Jonas is finally able to open up to her and they share a moment of complete honesty. There's no barriers between them. He is able to share his emotions without being judged. I just can't say enough good things about this fic. It's Jonas/Sam, my favorite pairing. I really, really like Sam with him, and this story is simply wonderful in showing that special relationship they have.

Why This Must Be Read: There are so few authors who write Jonas Quinn, and even fewer who write him well. I have definite opinions on what I want in my Jonas fic. There is a wide-eyed wonder and curiosity to the man, but there's a way to portray that and a way not to portray that. What I love about Denise's Jonas fics is that her feelings toward the character are obvious in the stories she writes. There is compassion and understanding and he's not portrayed as a kid. There can be wonder and curiosity in adults as well, and she's fabulous at bringing him to life.

What this fic does, though, is make me want more Jonas/Janet. I read this fic and I see a great prelude to a relationship I wouldn't have minded reading more from her. I do admit that I am primarily a Jonas/Sam shipper, but the way Denise writes this story, I am more than willing to broaden my horizons.

The characterizations are right on and there's a scene between Sam and Janet that I think is just great. It's just one of the best Jonas fics I have read and definitely deserved to win the Isis Award.

Why This Must Be Read: As I've said before, it's very hard to find decent Jonas-centric fanfiction. Few people write about him, and even fewer are able to capture his personality and relationship with the rest of SG-1. With this story, though, Michelle P. manages to do just that.

The story begins with Jonas hurt and alone, separated from the rest of his team and barely alive. The events that led up to this point are revealed through intermittent flashbacks, and it's obvious that Jonas is an important member of SG-1 ... not just "Daniel's replacement" as so many people consider him to be.

Why This Must Be Read: It's rare to find decent fanfiction featuring Jonas, especially stories that can be defined as anything more than mediocre. When you do find the few exceptions, it's often a gem like this one. With this story, Philote manages to capture both Jack's and Jonas's voices while also showing the beginning of the gradual shift from Jonas being "Daniel's replacement" to becoming an important member of the team.

This story is set near the beginning of the sixth season, right after Jonas officially becomes a member of SG-1 and before the others, especially Jack, truly start to accept him. Jack and Jonas are caught in a crossfire, and they both have to work out some of the issues that have been plaguing them over the past few months.
