Why This Must Be Read: This gorgeously splendid character study takes Bra'tac's first journey to Kheb, the ultimate destruction and mass Ascension of Abydos, and seamlessly fuses them together into a beautiful exploration of choice, perspective, age, and progress.

Both Bra'tac and Kasuf are courageous mentors who watched their disciples and children soar to greater heights. Here, Magistrate does justice to both of them.

Author's summary: She had bound him. Tethered his life to her own.

Why This Must Be Read:

Today in the Daniel Jackson category, it's two fics where Daniel is seen through others' eyes. This one is a strikingly lovely look at Daniel through Sha'uri's eyes, seventeen days after Kasuf sent her in "to appease the emissary of the gods" -- when they are still sweetly new to each other, but so many of Daniel's most defining characteristics are already charmingly and forebodingly evident.

The fic draws a vivid picture of Abydos, with lush sensory detail and the suggestion of far cities, intimations of how much more world there is beyond the settlement near the gate that has become Daniel's home. Descriptions of weather and terrain, significant objects, imagery and symbolism and thematic conceits resonate with each other and wind around each other, echoing the binding that Sha'uri's sympathetic magic tries to cinch tight. But the beauty has a bitter bite of foreknowledge -- ours and that of the augur in the fic and, beautifully and sadly to her credit, Sha'uri's. This is the Daniel who will never stop digging in the sand to reach beyond the sky, the Daniel whose curiosity and restlessness will shake the galaxy, and Sha'uri already senses what it will cost her. Tragedy is as far off, now, as those far cities, and as implicitly present, part of the warp and woof of their otherwise peaceful, happy lives.

Why This Must Be Read: Rigel captures the beauty and richness of Abydos in this haunting fic, as Sha'uri contemplates her Danyel and wonders if she can keep him tethered to the sands of reality.

I love stories that give us Sha're's culture and background, and Rigel paints a lush, lovely picture of her beliefs, her fears, and her determination. There are hints and portents of the future, aching imagery, her acceptance of Daniel's nature and her careful efforts to guide those instincts towards life and contentedness. Metaphorical and literal threads of sky and sand and water, all woven together for a story of beautiful, thoughtful melancholy.

Read Rigel's fic slowly, and with the care it deserves - and just try not to shiver, at the end.

Link: Untitled Abydos snippet

Why This Must Be Read: It may seem strange to rec a story in the Sha're category when the fic takes place after her death. But this lovely, moving piece is very much about Sha're, and the inheritance she left for her people.

I adore stories that offer an insight into Abydon culture, and Emily offers a beautiful look at the mourning rituals that take place in the wake of Forever In a Day. Daniel struggles to conform to the formalities, but his memories of his wife, and his regrets and distress, make it difficult... Until Kasuf leaves him a tangible reminder of the legacy Sha're left behind, and the part Daniel played in offering it to her in the first place.

Achingly bittersweet and powerful in its simplicity, this story is a tribute - to Sha're, to Daniel, and to the people of Abydos.

Why This Must Be Read:
In this snippet

6beforelunch gives us Daniel on Abydos right after Sha're's funeral, observing the proper Abydonian mourning period. She creates a wonderful glimpse into Daniel's relationship with Kasuf - in a way Kasuf is the only father Daniel has and right now Daniel is the only child Kasuf has left. We also have a beautiful exploration of life and traditions in Abydos and a glimpse into what life was like for Daniel with Sha're for the year they had. Overall this fic gives a palpable feeling to Daniel's grief and a beautiful expansion on the Abydonian culture. Well worth the read.

Why This Must Be Read: I have been waiting for a long time for the opportunity to rec this delightful Abydos story! Set some time between the movie and COTG, this charming fic gives us beautiful snapshots into life on Abydos – the freedom from Ra’s tyranny that impoverished them for so long, the eagerness of the Abydon people to have Daniel teach them of their lost heritage, the humor of Daniel’s not-so-successful attempts to follow the culture’s traditions. It’s written with deftness and warmth and love, and it will make you fall in love with Abydos – and Daniel! – all over again.
