Why This Must Be Read: While it's not canon that Jacob Carter was ever MIA, this story is both plausible and marvelously in-character for a six-year-old Sam struggling with her father's absence. Anr does a superb job of giving us a peek into Sam's head, and the final lines tying into canon are heartbreakingly good.

Why This Must Be Read: Five times with Sam and her childhood telescope, ranging from her childhood dreams with her mother to her stormy relationship with her father to making peace with herself (and old age!) in the future. Lovely, thought-inducing stuff.

Why This Must Be Read: Author’s Summary: The past will always find you, especially if you have something it wants.

This one is focussed on Vala's backstory, as you might have guessed, but also on how Daniel has a unique insight into her and her personality, and it is this knowledge that is at the core of their relationship, along with a lovely supportive team. A dark fic, but also angsty and romantic, with a strong serving of hurt/comfort.

( You see, Daniel? You might not have recognized what Sam did just now, let me explain it to you. )

Why This Must Be Read: A triptych of Jacob Carter snapshots, at various points in his life, and the nature of time wasted and saved. Thoughtful and personable at the same time!

Jacob thinks about days measured by doctor’s appointments, by military operations, by phone calls that change your life, and then about great mysteries locked in mountains that seem to defy time and the progress of ‘normal’ life entirely. He smiles.

I suspect that no one really wants to be the first self-reccer (see this entry for more details), so I'm going to break the ice and offer one more tribute to Carmen Argenziano.

Why This Must Be Read: At the beginning of Death Knell, Sam is astonished to learn that Jacob gave up coffee for his symbiote. This little missing scene offers a possible scenario for how that might have happened, with some fun give-and-take between Jacob and Selmak.

As an unabashed coffee addict, he'd been vaguely surprised when he didn't suffer any withdrawal symptoms in his first days offworld. Still, he supposed that a symbiote capable of curing cancer and fixing arthritic knees would have little trouble tweaking his serotonin levels and adjusting his neurotransmitters to avoid caffeine-induced crankiness.

Why This Must Be Read: Here is a light-hearted snippet of Jacob, gamely adjusting to life as a Tok'ra, and dealing with some of the more... unexpected aspects of going undercover in Zipacna's court.

As Marzipan noted earlier this month, the loss of Carmen Argenziano makes Jacob recs particularly fitting right now. So here's one in memory of the man who brought Jacob Carter so vividly to life that you'll easily hear him saying, "You've got to be kidding me!"

As a species, Jacob found that even male Tok’ra had pretty strange taste in wardrobes.

Link: Enemies Epilogue

Why This Must Be Read: In honor of the passing of the brilliant Carmen Argenziano. This is one little scene, a scene we'd all have loved to see where Jacob pitches a Air-Force-General-Sized fit at the Tok'ra Council and calls them on their bullshit idea of backing up their people. There's cursing, there's juvenile name calling, there's table pounding. I'm on the look-out for more Jacob fic to rec this month because, boy would I have loved to see more of him and I'm gutted that he's passed on.

snippet

"~A Tau'ri in full rage is certainly a sight to see,~ mused Selmac. ~Such fire, such spirit. It would do our people good to get more of them.~ Not that she didn't love all of her previous hosts, each in their own way, but here was a warrior! Here was the strength, the power, the passion, the sheer unmitigated gall that led a technologically inferior race of primitives to destroy 5 system lords in as many years."

Why This Must Be Read: Here's an exploration of what happened to Charlie the Reetou after he walked through the Stargate with Jacob at the end of Show and Tell. The story skims the surface as a bit, as it's wholly from a child's perspective, but I really liked the in-canon timeline explanations and the frustrations that Charlie experiences as a child with the Tok'ra.

Also, his symbiote is awesome. :)

Why This Must Be Read:

Sorry, another painful fic. In less than 3800 words, Otter paints a picture of what-could-have been in a mission-gone-wrong.

The story starts with Daniel doing his thing on what Jack would call "another dry, dusty planet -- and why are we here anyway?" But there's another team in charge and we don't know where the rest of SG-1 is.

And Daniel's not doing well, in spite of Jack's support. So they go back to Earth and Daniel -- to Jack's dismay -- says he's not ready to be in the field.

A dream that night revisits what happened...

Which makes the ending even more devastating.

Why This Must Be Read: I was very happy to see that this fic is now complete, so I can rec it here :) I have been following it regularly as it has been posted. It is a really different take on "In the Line of Duty", with Jolinar initially taking Jack O'Neill as host, and surviving. There are many great and fun exchanges between O'Neill and Jolinar, and also a lot of wonderful scenes with SG-1 being there for one another.

Note: The story is the first part in a series.

Why This Must Be Read: Over the years SG-1 has encountered hundreds of interesting people and I just love it when an author remembers one of those characters and utilizes them in a story. In this one, it's Aris Boch the intrepid bounty hunter. Oops, sorry, former intrepid bounty hunter. There is another, brief, cameo but I'll leave their identity to be a surprise. The heart of the story, however, is most definitely Daniel. And it's my favourite kind of Daniel: the one who's determined to do whatever he can to help save innocent lives no matter the potential cost to himself. Even when it means keeping secrets from his team and potentially alienating Jack for good. The premise of the story is rather intriguing and, while the Goa'uld responsible never actually makes an appearance, his 'servant' more than makes up for that.

Author's summary: Daniel goes undercover to diffuse a deadly situation on a benign planet.

Link: Holding My Breath

Why This Must Be Read: This story is an expansion of the season 5 episodes "The Summit" and "The Last Stand", where Daniel goes undercover as Yu's Lo'taur. Marzipan77 brilliantly weaves the story within the existing episode, creating what feels like the episode itself could've been if not for television time restrictions. Marzipan77 shows the politics at the Goa'uld's courts in a way that the episode only hinted at along with a longer, deeper look at the cruelty of the System Lords on a more personal level. But most importantly, the story highlights Daniel's emotions throughout his entire ordeal and explains some of his actions, revelations and decisions. This is a really well-written story (there's a sequel too) and I can't believe it hasn't been recced here yet.

Author's summary: Season 5 Daniel begins to disappear from team interactions leading to feelings of failure. During "Summit" and "Last Stand," why did SG-1 stand by quietly while he went off alone on such a dangerous mission? Why didn't they care? Why didn't he?

Why This Must Be Read:
Author's Summary: After a malfunction of the 'Gate, Daniel is sent to a strange planet where he must fend for himself -- with no hope of a rescue.

This story takes place somewhere in the murkiness of season 7 - after Jack and Sam's promotions and after Weir and her expedition leaves for Atlantis. I absolutely love stories where characters rise above and beyond what we'd expect from them and Daniel does that here with shining colours. Because everything you think of when you think 'Daniel's element' isn't here. No ruins, no natives, no puzzles: just Daniel, a planet and a useless DHD. Sideburns is an incredible writer and if you've somehow never encountered her work, then this is a great story to start with. It's 80% Daniel with a side of Jack and Team.

Why This Must Be Read: It's 90% (or more) gen, but there are some sweet Sam/(Jolinar)/Martouf/Lantash scenes, which is why I am reccing it for this category. I love apocafic, and this is a wonderful, long one. Our heroes from the SGC have to flee from Earth when Apophis attacks and conquers Earth. The story has some wonderful world building, and some wonderful scenes where the now homeless Tau'ri try to make their homes on various bases, always on the run. The scenes from Earth, where we follow Mark and his family, now subjects of Apophis, are a nice way of showing what happens there.
Very different, very dark, but there are glimmers of hope here and there.
