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 a lovely Janet and George introspective, as they grapple with the need to hold down the fort when they'd rather be doing something. It's quiet and gentle, with that steely resolve underneath, and it fits them both perfectly.

General Hammond smiled at her. It was one of those sad little smiles he saved for late at night when the losses were too much to bear. He didn't smile like that often. She smiled back, a wry almost-grin that she saved for the morning after the final sutures had been put in place, the infirmary was scrubbed clean, and she'd had enough coffee to get a start on feeling human again.

Why This Must Be Read: Here is some delightful teamy goodness to start off the year for you! Teal'c's apartment in Affinity didn't work out (thanks, NID), but Jack comes up with other options... and questionable film choices.

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

Why This Must Be Read: I'm not sure I even know a female version of John Watson existed (hey, medical doctor, name of show... it's a pretty safe assumption), but no knowledge of Elementary is required to enjoy this epistolary exchange between Janet, Joan, Cassie and George. There are multiple time jumps to cover nearly a decade of canon, but it's a delightful exploration of the friendships that surely exist outside the SGC.

I assume that if you are familiar with Joan Watson, you'll enjoy this ever more than I did... but either way, it's definitely a keeper!

I would be delighted to be Cassie’s weird but absurdly trustworthy Aunt Joan, keeper of secrets, buyer of lunches, sender of mildly inappropriate Christmas gifts, purveyor of worldly wisdom, et cetera. I hereby swear that I am neither a Bond villain nor a Bond girl, and that the worst thing your bosses are likely to find in my personal history is the business with the cadaver, the trombone, and the three watermelons, which I assume is already in their files from your background check.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a lovely triptych of Teal'c musings, offering a peek into the thought processes of our favorite inscrutable Jaffa. From loyalty to Lya to Luke Skywalker, this is perfectly, thoughtfully Teal'c.

On SG-1, Teal’c realizes, loyalty works remarkably like love.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a genuinely charming bit of SGC fluffiness, all from Walter's perspective (and how often do we get that?) - exactly who and what is responsible for the increasingly elaborate graffiti that is decorating the SGC walls?

There's banter and snark and friendship here, all from Walter's wry POV, and this is a real pleasure to read.

Outside the gym was an amusing image of Teal’c dressed up as a Jedi battling Darth Vader, complete with an exploding Death Star in the background.

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?

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.

Why This Must Be Read: Way back when, Pettygrew was (hopefully still is, somewhere?) one of those authors whose stories never failed to please. 'Protocols' is one of those: a classic Jack and Daniel conversation, set early in Season 8 just as Jack is trying to reconcile himself to his new role as the head honcho. The wry humour, characterisations, and dialogue are perfect -- a real treat.

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.

Link: The Return, on wayback archive

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.

Why This Must Be Read: On the surface, this is an SG-1 meet and greet story in which Daniel develops an interest in a particular facet of the offworld culture the team is introduced to ... but, for me, it's much more than that. Set against the backdrop and context of an offworld culture and strong Jack and Daniel friendship, this is a story about respect, and about the importance of all of our life 'stories', of our collective and individual history. And no matter how many times I re-read it, it never fails to touch my heart.

Why This Must Be Read: You know all those pre-series fics of young!Daniel practically growing up on digs, and then fostered!Daniel all full of ANGST and SADNESS and self-hugging?

...Yeah, this one isn't that. :)

On the contrary: this is just a little vignette of Daniel, Jack, and Sam, shooting the breeze and reminiscing about their pretty good normal upbringings. A lovely bit of friendship that turns fanon expectations on its head!

Why This Must Be Read:

One of the main draws to fanfic for me is deeper discussion over the characters we love. Here, in Pick Up Pieces, we get Randomfreshink’s look at why Daniel does what he does in Need. All in a rather engrossing story. It’s a thoughtful piece, and I think it captures Daniel rather well.

Why This Must Be Read: I adore Cassie and Teal'c friendship fics: the two aliens who have found a place on Earth, but still sometimes feel very much like outsiders. Teal'c offering consolation to Cassie, just after Heroes, is absolutely perfect.

The fic is labeled as "hints at Sam/Jack." This gen girl read it and wondered, "What hints?" So this works with whatever goggles you use. :)

He was her anchor, her alien uncle who reminded her that no matter how truly alien she may feel among the Tauri at times, this was exactly where she belonged.

Why This Must Be Read: This is George in delicious General Hammond rocks! mode, dealing with each original member of SG-1 in turn - with grace, with wry humor, with just enough selective blindness, and with every ounce of class that makes him the best general the SGC ever had.

Dr. Jackson fell into step, and George started spinning the tale. The least he could do was look after his people--and sometimes that meant nothing more than this.

When I thought of Team fics to rec, this one came to mind. I’ve read it several times. Even if you’ve read it before, it won’t fail to put a smile on your face. It is just a fun, fluffy fic, full of team as family. It’s short enough to be read in a couple of minutes. Perfect for the holiday season upon us!

It’s too short to include a few lines. Just go read it! Especially if you haven’t read it before.
