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.

Why This Must Be Read: This is oldskool fic in aching, stellar Jack POV, showing us Robot!SG-1 in their first weeks with Harlan and the gradual decision to try and go through the Stargate.

Jack wonders how long it will take them to know each other’s stories by heart.

His new brain corrects another stumble. He hasn’t got a heart.

Why This Must Be Read: Here is Daniel getting all thinky after seeing alternate realities, with first Sam and then the others adding in their own two cents. I love how they're all beautifully in character, with Teal'c (of course) getting the final zinger!

Why This Must Be Read: Lovely Sam POV that is quite literally the sweetness of team bonding via baked goods, with Daniel playing host. You've heard of the language of flowers? Daniel speaks cookies, cake, and pie, too!

Teamy goodness, a light dose of angst, and a slight warning for probable cravings by the time you reach the satisfactory ending. :)

Jack liked cake, so after each time he and Daniel went at it, after whatever tiff they had ran its course, Daniel would show up with four slices of red velvet or tres leches or plain old chocolate cake, and Jack would give him a twitchy smile, and Daniel would reciprocate with a twitchy smile of his own, and Sam would relax for the first time that week, catching Teal’c’s eye. They ended up eating a lot of cake.

Why This Must Be Read: Classic team for the win as Sam takes over when Jack disappears off-world. Inverted marriage tropes and betting pools may be a factor...

Competent team, humor, snark, friendship... what more do you need?

Sam closed her eyes on a sigh. Having to pretend to be married to her CO to keep him from being forced into matrimony with a benevolent dictator was a new one. She was pretty sure there wouldn’t even be a base betting pool about it yet.

A bittersweet, aching return to Hanka, as Cassie seeks closure in the wake of other momentous changes in her life. Teamy support, excellent introspection, and a hopeful ending.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a bleak, harsh reminder of the regular atrocities that Goa'uld leave behind them... but it's also a poignant, courageous glimpse of the team doing their absolute best to defend innocents off-world. Add Jack's typical rapport with kids and Daniel's meandering thought processes for a short and well-written fic.

Really, Daniel wondered that they hadn't run across more orphans in the galaxy.

Why This Must Be Read: So what's the going rate for a colonel and an archeologist? Sam and Teal'c are about to find out!

Very short, very fun, slightly innuendo-ish (for Kalquessa, certainly). Sam and Teal'c as the slightly amused adults are always a win. :)

"So what's the plan for getting us out of these?" Daniel pulled the chain between his wrists taut.

"Well it's a bit crowded for a fire-fight, so we're going to buy you from that nice man in the leather shirt over there," Sam hefted the bag of coins she had been carrying, which clinked satisfyingly.

Teal'c pwnage, warm and fuzzy teaminess, and plenty of snark. Plus good pizza!

Why This Must Be Read: In the wake of Enemy Within, Jack has to deal with... appearances with Sam. Daniel quotes Plutarch, Sam isn't Caesar's wife, Jack throws around slang with enthusiasm, and Teal'c is perfectly willing to throw around everybody. :)

Early season SG-1 is always a joy, especially when it's written as well as this!

“Jack.” Daniel pulled on his jacket. “What’s this about? You look like you’re about to hurt someone.”

“Me?” Jack tried on Hammond’s smile for size. “Oh, no, Daniel. I’m just gonna share my feelings.”

Why This Must Be Read: Stringertheory writes the loveliest gen fic, and I've recommended many of her stories in the past. Now that she's moving her fics to AO3, I have an excellent excuse to rec yet another one!

This is a wonderful five things of Sam and Daniel friendship, at the canon points when thing were sharp-edged and difficult. It's wonderful to see their mutual honesty and faith in one another. An intelligent, thoughtful read.

“Damn it, man, I’m a doctor, not a miracle-worker!” House spit out, leaning over his desk with an air of furious intent.

Teal’c, on the other side of the desk, raised one eyebrow. “I have merely asked you," he said calmly, "for Daniel Jackson’s antihistamines.”

Why This Must Be Read: Early S1 oldskool-style fic, as the various members of SG-1 take turns visiting an under-the-weather Jack in the infirmary. It's charming to see how Jack and the others bond over different subjects and activities, from video games to astronomy to (naturally) Jack-and-Daniel sniping. Slightly fluffy, all heart!

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: One of my favorite aspects of Sam and Daniel's friendship is how well they click with one another. And as this lovely five things shows, what looks like romance to outsiders can be something much deeper and closer and still be wonderfully gen - even when they try the ship thing instead. :)

Slybrarian
Link: Ophiucus Rising

Why This Must Be Read: This is what the SGC/Tok'ra relationship should have been, and a very plausible way to bring Cam into the SGC program a full season earlier: instead of putting him through a year of agonizing therapy that might not be successful, Sam - still host to Jolinar - offers Cam the opportunity to be a Tok'ra host.

This leads to a very different S8, with Cam and his fellow Tok'ra-Tau'ri blends working at the SGC.

You'll enjoy the different twists on various episodes, the hilarious inner dialogue, and the warm friendship between Cam and Sam. A very satisfying story!

As everyone began settling down, Cam took a look around at them all. They were, to a man, woman, and snake, a bunch of neurotic, insane, and sneaky basket cases, but they were also brilliant, brave, and loyal. Part of Cam still ached for the squadron he had been forced to leave behind, but if he had to replace them he couldn't have asked for a better group. He didn't think he would mind calling them family for the next three or four hundred years.

Why This Must Be Read: Set early in Season 8. Our newly-minted General-Jack has been in charge a few weeks, and Daniel's noticing some attitude and behaviour changes around the place ... one change pointed out by Sam and Teal'c, specifically in Jack's behavior, though, proves to be quite the eye-opener not only to Daniel but also to Jack himself. Written with great wit, this is an engaging, funny, and reaffirming friendship story.

Link: Wild Card

Author's Summary:

An alternate reality where The Trust tried to destroy the Atlantis Expedition before it had even begun. The wild card instead changes everything, putting Major Sheppard in command of an expedition cut off from Earth.

The choices he makes shape a very different Atlantis from the one we know, and six years later a very different Atlantis from the one Earth expects.

Why This Must Be Read:

I love when the Atlantis crew are stranded in Pegasus and, in spite of that, manage to flourish and declare independence from Earth.

The author has a smart John Sheppard here, who knows how to get things done and uses the Pegasus natives they encounter to build new alliances. The alliance runs Atlantis and is fighting the Wraith.

Jack doesn't show up until half way through, but he's a major player and uses his clout to make sure the Lanteans get a fair shake from Earth.

The story is complete, but there are lots of threads that the author could use to write more and I do hope she does.

Go give this fic some love... it deserves it!

Why This Must Be Read: This fic has been recced before, but it looks like not since 2009, so more than time to bring it out again. When the story opens, it is the aftermath of a chaotic week at the SGC- missions, attacks, mass confusion. SG-1 gathers to start going over the chain of events, only to find out that Sam is missing. As SG-1 traces where Sam went and what she did, we get to see Sam's adventures unfold, while the team gets increasingly frustrated at not catching up with her. The stakes get higher and the action wilder as the reader wonders if SG-1 will find Sam- before it is too late.
