Why This Must Be Read: Back in the day, this story was (and still is, imo) a 'must read' work in the hurt/comfort genre. While the 'hurt' part may not be everyone's cup of tea, a well-done hurt/comfort story serves to highlight deep bonds of loyalty and friendship ... and where that's concerned, this story is one of the best. All the characters play important roles, plus, for me, the commitment, caring, and commonality of purpose amongst SG-1 more than offsets scenes of violence. I also like the point-of-view choice the author made; imo the alternating sections of 3rd and 1st person pov are highly effective. Overall, this story is well-plotted, well written, and just a plain old really good read!

Why This Must Be Read: This story was written back toward the beginning of it all, and is one of the very first on-world action/adventure stories I encountered, way back then, in which a Goa'uld threat is found on Earth ... and in fact this one is the very first story I ever read that used the premise and setting of an archaeological dig site as being the source of that threat. All these years later, I still remember how new to me the concept was (at that time), and how much I enjoyed it. Having re-read it recently and discovering that I still like it every bit as much as before (especially the bit with the rings), I decided to rec it here, in case some of you out there have never heard of or read some of the golden-oldies such as this. I hope you like it.

Why This Must Be Read:  Tiffany Parks writes a humorous tale of subterfuge and deceit revolving around Col Makepeace in the Season 2 timeframe, when we still liked him for his...mind.  Yes, that's it.  She brings in the incredibly flirtatious Dr Barbara Shore from the movie (and the books that came from the movie) to round out the cast and add that vital leer required to fulfill this premise properly.  Read this for a good holiday laugh.   For those who've seen the "Chris Judge finds out about furries" videos, get that smirk off your faces!. 
 

tell me, please, am I the only one who is thinking of Ben Browder on stage in a white rabbit costume when I read this story???

Why This Must Be Read:
This was one of the first SG-1 stories I read, and it still makes me smile whenever I think of it. One night at a bar, set to prove SG-1's overwhelming coolness once and for all, Jack bets Makepeace that SG-1 can beat SG-3 in a hockey game. Only later does he realize that while SG-3 has a team of Marines who move effortlessly on the ice, Jack has a Jaffa who is very good at hitting the puck hard anywhere but at the net, a physicist who spends too long calculating the precise angle and velocity necessary for her shots, and an archaeologist who has never been on skates before.

With Siler helping them in goal and a late-in-the-game strategy on how to use Daniel's flailing clumsiness, can SG-1 pull it together or will they have to turn in their "overwhelming coolness" badges? Put down any water (because I guarantee a laugh) and enjoy the game.
