Why This Must Be Read: This is an episode tag to Home, the one with the sentient mist. After they get back to Atlantis Rodney asks John what was going on with his weird dead friends party, and John thinks about, but doesn't fess up to, a missing scene in which he found Rodney waiting for him in the bathroom at the bachelor pad. Eventually, Rodney shares his own mist-induced fantasies, and all's well. It's a fun might-have-been missing scene for the episode. There's great characterization, and it's hot and cleverly written.

Why This Must Be Read:

Why This Must Be Read: Set in Episode: s07e02 Homecoming, this fic is a somber missing scene between a newly-returned Daniel and Teal'c. I love the way their friendship is shown and how accepting Teal'c is of whoever Daniel may be now, regardless of if he regains his memories, regardless of if he is exactly the same. It's a quiet moment and beautifully done.

Why This Must Be Read: it's Earth Christmastime, but on Atlantis it's mid-summer and the Australians have organized a barbeque. This is one of Mandysbitch's sweeter stories in which the boys get tipsy and end up in bed. It's hot and steamy, a nice slice-of-life, and soft-centered. Lovely writing, and a feelgood ending.

Author's Summary:

The (probably) complete works in my Clone!Verse series, all in one convenient location.

Why This Must Be Read:

I couldn't resist rec'ing this form of Jack O'Neill. It's clone!Jack with a clone!Sam together, starting in high school and going through adulthood. There's even a fun crossover with Warehouse 13 in the middle.

The entire series of ficlets are fluffy and happy. A perfect read when you need a reason to smile and laugh.

I'm going to put my hopes into that 'ish' part of complete-ish because we all need new reasons to smile.

The Perception of Control, by knightshade (E)

Pairings: Sam Carter/Daniel Jackson/Teal'c
Categories: Multi, Hurt/Comfort, Angst

Why This Must Be Read: I'm rarely one to go in for porn-with-plot (When I drink water, I drink water; when I drink whiskey, I drink whiskey), but this fic has a great balance with the whump, angst, and threesome featuring excellent characterization. Told from Carter's POV, the fic features her, Teal'c, and Daniel taken prisoner while Jack has (we hope) escaped.

Teal'c's characterization especially is an absolute treat. It captures his personality well, at one point describing him, "He did everything with such tightly restrained, but visible passion".

on purpose by dedkake (T)

Show: SGA

Rec Category: Rodney McKay
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Ronon Dex, Teyla Emmagan
Pairings: Rodney/John
Categories: slash, 5+1, (emotional)hurt/comfort, idiots in love
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Words: 2,492
Author's Journal: n/a
Author's Website: dedkake on AO3
Link: on purpose

Author’s summary: The thing is, he hadn’t really meant to say it. Not then. Not there. He hadn’t really ever even thought about it before, not in such specific terms. So, it’s as much of a shock to him as it is to anyone else.

or, Rodney's trying so hard and John just doesn't get it.

Why This Must Be Read: This is such a beautiful story—everyone who’s ever enjoyed a true love read should go for it! It shows us Rodney in a light far removed from his well-known and accepted behavior, revealing his most endearing sides: quiet, loving, cautious, thoughtful, and deeply romantic. You’ll suffer with him as he bears the pain of an oblivious John, who just can’t see the woods for the trees. But you’ll also witness the wonders that true love is capable of—and the happiness, and ultimately, the fulfillment it brings.

The way it’s written—in a kind of reverse 5+1 structure—feels like a countdown, ignition, and finally, lift-off for the rocket of love that is McShep

Characters: Dr. Biro/John Sheppard
Categories: F/M
Words: 16,752
Content notes: no archive warnings apply. From the author's notes - "This story contains a kitchen sink's worth of kinks, including: cybersex, D/s, bondage, assplay, pervertibles, mirrors, slings, rimming, autofellatio, and pegging."
Author on DW: n/a
Author's Website: trophic on AO3
Link: Full Disclosure on AO3
Why This Must Be Read: This romance is set in an Atlantis where clever programmers have created a virtual environment where people can hook up via avatars, and where Biro (Valerie) and Sheppard (Dec) have an enjoyable dom/sub relationship. Biro is a quirky and funny dominatrix, still her somewhat geeky, socially anxious self from canon, but able to use the VE in deliciously creative ways which Dec very much appreciates. The story's well structured with Valerie and Dec initially anonymous, then having to navigate Biro finding out Dec's RL identity and dealing with the consequences, including whether or not their relationship can work in the real world. There are some interesting explorations of self-image, with Sheppard's inner self way more geeky and uncool than his public persona. A fun read - hot as hell and remarkably charming.

Why This Must Be Read: This is short and touching - a gesture of comfort between Biro and Keller, after they've had to look after too many members of the expedition who didn't make it. It explores Jennifer's backstory a little, and links that to one of the less-explored parts of Atlantis. Lovely.

Why This Must Be Read: Here's some oldskool fic to brighten your day!

In the wake of One False Step, various members of the SG-1 reach out to one another to make amends after their various dustups while under the influence of off-key singing plants. (That's an accurate description of the episode, but it sounds like the crackiest summary of the crackiest fanfic ever, doesn't it?) It's deft, wry, and perfectly in character - and a very satisfying coda to the episode.


The slow and steady beat of their understanding wove its way across the phone line, un-vocalized but not unheard, like the deep and vital tones of an alien world.

Author on DW: [personal profile] nomad
Author's Website: nomad on AO3
Link: Joint Mission to Aessuma (The One With the Shiny Rocks) on AO3. The podfic is here.

Why This Must Be Read: This is structured as a duplex mission report, with Teyla's careful, culturally appropriate and diplomatic prose interleaved with Vala's (italicised) frank and hilarious "tell it like it is" version. As the report unfolds, we hear what happened to the rest of their combined team, which is likely to provide blackmail material for a long time to come! Clever, and very funny. The podfic, read by cantarina and lunchee, is great fun, too.

Author’s summary: Rodney deals with survivors guilt. Tag for Grace Under Pressure.

Why This Must Be Read: The fic, already written in 2006 right after the episode Grace under Pressure, is so beautifully, so compassionately, and so full of love. It's heartwarming and wonderful, and it holds a beautiful balance between drama and lightheartedness—providing a heartbreaking overlap of Rodney’s childhood experiences with current events, making everything even more intense. It's an intriguing take on his character, his background and his development to the Rodney we know and love.
Mixing in a caring John and a tender and blossoming Mcshep relationship and you get a perfect fic I can't recommend enough.

Why This Must Be Read: A raiding party off-world takes only Miko and Lieutenant Grace Crown, leaving the men. The rescue plan means that Laura, Biro, and Teyla will be deliberately sold into slavery to get them back - Elizabeth has concerns, but Cadman reminds her that they leave no women behind, either. Then the back-up plan collapses, leaving them on their own. An excellent action/adventure story of women rescuing themselves, with Cadman, as leader, and Miko, the gene-holder, especially kicking ass (plus Teyla, but that goes without saying!) Great writing - an entertaining read that deserves to be far better known.

Why These Must Be Read: These five short stories are beautifully written, perceptive, and moving, written from the perspective of the first chaplain of the SGC. Partly they're about her adjusting to the Stargate program, and partly about those in the program adjusting to her. The stories are mostly fairly tied into canon, but there are enough details in them as the various characters discuss their issues with the chaplain that I had no difficulty following along, even though I'm rusty on SG1 canon. The final one is especially powerful - it really stayed with me.
