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: This short, feel-good fic is an exercise in wishful thinking: wouldn't it have been nice if TPTB had taken advantage of Jack's fish-filled pond at the end of S8 to change a few more things?

Short, sweet, and to the point, this fic takes SG-1 home from their trip to Jack's cabin to discover that their journey to the past has had a few more repercussions than they originally thought. Put this one in the "if only!" file, and take it out to reread whenever you're particularly missing one spit-fire, Napoleonic Little Doc and one snarky, wry and intelligent Tok'ra.

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.”

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.

Why This Must Be Read: If the Ancient gene was such a valuable commodity in Atlantis that they wrote a completely ignorant and inexperienced John into the mission based on the strength of his, why would they ignore a young, vastly experienced guy who already knew about everything and had the gene as well?

In this two-part series, they didn't... and clone!Jack ends up as part of the Atlantis expedition.

These two stories don't actually get us to Atlantis, but it's an intriguing, well-written premise. And who knows? Maybe some feedback will prompt the author to write more! :)

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.

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: I disliked Unending for many, many reasons. This wonderful story is an excellent episode fix for one of the most egregious flaws: the blink-and-you-miss-it reaction to the loss of an entire race.

When news of the Asgard's fate reaches Atlantis, Caldwell reaches out to Hermiod. What follows is a tribute to the Asgard, a nod to Cimmeria, the meaning of friendship and camaraderie, and a much more satisfying sendoff than anything in the show.

Thor and the Asgard deserved better, and this lovely fic gives it to them!

How do you hold a funeral for an entire race?

Link: Don't Ask

Why This Must Be Read: One of my favorite authors is rearchiving her fic on AO3, which makes a great excuse for me to reread her work and discover the odd gem or two that I haven't recced yet!

I love good outsider perspective, and I love all the little, unknown yet crucial cogs that go into making the SGC tick. So Redbyrd's stolid janitor, cleaning up all the inevitable messes that smash up the Gateroom and every other level in Cheyenne Mountain, is a real keeper. You know what he doesn't know - and it will definitely leave you grinning.

Bill nodded knowingly. You couldn't work in this place without knowing that there was some seriously strange stuff going on. If you wanted to stay, you signed everything they gave you and kept your trap shut, no matter how weird it got. And Bill did want to stay- for cleaning up weird messes and taking special training for chemicals and biohazards and god-knows-what, you got a salary that was pretty much unheard of for what was basically janitorial work. All you had to do was ignore the occasionally oddly dressed people you saw and never ask questions.

Link: Extended Family

Why This Must Be Read: First published back in 2000, this is one of the first friendship / family fics I found, way back then, to do with Cassandra ... and it's the only one I'd found that addressed the question of just what to do with an alien child who has lost her entire family, suffered trauma, and been stranded on a strange world. All of SG-1 plus Janet and Hammond are represented, each striving to find the best solution. Most of all, I love that this story explores that question not only from the point of view of the adults, but also lets us hear - in a poignant, touching scene - from Cassandra herself. This is a truly lovely story.

Author's Summary:

After the team returns at the end of Urgo, Jack and Daniel have a bad reaction to the casual brain surgery. The rest of the team can't seem to leave their teammates alone in the infirmary.

Why This Must Be Read:

From the author: This is being posted to help distract one of my best friends who is sick and has tested positive for Covid. Prayers appreciated for all those suffering. Love you. (In the notes, the friend has gotten better.)

Brand new fic! And new fics in SG1 are getting rarer, so show Marzipan77 some love. She deserves it!

An old-fashioned episode related fic. The team has returned from their dealings with Urgo and Jack and Daniel end up in the infirmary. Teal'c is a warrior in defense of his team, George is large-and-in-charge, and Sam is worried for her teammates. Jack and Daniel end up in a maze and Jack gets to show off his brains as they try to solve the puzzle.

Just a lovely fic!

Link: Walked Right Out of the Machinery on Wayback (all as one fic), or on DW as separate chapters.
Why This Must Be Read: This is a classic SG1 novel-length story, reccd here nine years ago so this is a reminder, and to add the Wayback link. It goes AU from canon after Jack gets snaked with a Tok'ra in 'the Abyss'. The story is partly plotty action/adventure, and partly Jack and the symbiote grappling with a traumatic, messed-up blending. At the fic's start Jack has repressed what's happened and we see his confusion. It's an amazingly well-written story in tight third person POV. I re-read it every few years - highly recommended.

Summary: Stargate SG-1 season 6 AU. The one where Ba'al's Jaffa got there thirty seconds faster.
There is no "both of you," he wants to say; it doesn't work like that.

Why This Must Be Read: Way back in the old days, Scribe was well known for her inventive, meaty, well plotted adventure stories. While most of her plots involve something to do with Daniel, everyone else is usually front and centre as well, with a strong emphasis on team friendship woven into the latest predicament SG-1 finds itself in ...and this story is no exception. Written not long after the episode first aired, this is (imo) one of the very best 'oops, something's not quite right' tags written for Fire & Water. It's original, dramatic, and even considering the serious situation the team faces, it's just plain fun to read.

But Jack looms over every word, even if he doesn't show up until the end.
