Why This Must Be Read: In honor of Father's Day and Teal'c, who was always amazingly gentle with children and gave up the chance to mentor his own for the sake of his son's future...

It's early S1, before the team knows that Ry'ac even exists, and Jack takes Teal'c to the local mall where a glimpse of a karate class brings up painfully wistful memories. Brief, poignant, and stoic - in short, perfectly Teal'c.

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: My first reaction on reading this was, "Break my heart, why don't you?"

Jack's Ancient gene triggers a certain... option on the Quantum Mirror, and he gets too much of an eyeful at what-might-have-been. Or what-is-happening-elsewhere, really.

Teal'c and Jack friendship for the absolute win and Jack's intense grief both make this absorbing, wrenching, and a must-read.


The mirror got shunted off to a remote SGC science department storeroom, safely contained, and started gathering dust. Until the night Jack couldn’t sleep.

Full of Jack and Daniel friendship, and scientific puzzles, and Teal'c sheer stubbornness, and Sam doing her best (and beyond) for her team, and Daniel taking his usual flying leaps of logic, and courage, and drama...

I love each and every one of them here. Bill Lee shines, Janet has a great cameo, and the comfort of the final scene is an absolute joy. Make sure you've got the time to read this all in one sitting, because you won't be able to stop!

Why This Must Be Read: I love early S1 Teal'c, when our favorite Jaffa is still trying to come to grips with the bizarre world and culture of the Tau'ri. And I love Jack fulfilling his promise to show Teal'c "our world." So this story, where a trip to a hockey game ends in disaster and Teal'c hasn't yet learned to cope with emergencies outside the SGC, is definitely a winner! Add some extra teamy goodness and classic Teal'c pwnage at the end of the fic for an extra treat. :)

I love their understanding of one another and Jack's unique brand of comfort and peace at a time that Teal'c so badly needs it. Beautifully and powerfully done.


Jack glanced over at Teal'c. It was weird, seeing him aged, not just in body with the white at his temples and the fine lines around his eyes, but there was something else, too. An intangible bow to his back. A weight that even Bra'tac had never shown.

A very nice friendship fic in classic SG-1 style!

Why This Must Be Read: A story taking place season two (shortly after "The Fifth Race"), this story begins with Jack and Teal'c at the end of a sailing trip. And the image of Teal'c in a bright yellow sailing outfit is enough to make this fic stick in my head.

JoleneB has created a wonderful Teal'c, and a Jack whose presensce is always in the story, even though he spends most of it in the infirmary uncoscious. This is almost a team story (and there are some great moments between Janet and Sam, Sam and Daniel, Daniel and Teal'c, and Teal'c and General Hammond. I'm reccing it here because there is a great focus on Jack and Teal'c and how Jack's teaching Teal'c all about Earth (and keeping some of it a secret from Daniel and Sam, which causes them to try to figure it out) and how much Teal'c appreciated Jack. The basic story is that Jack gets hurt on a mission and then Teal'c, and the team (including Janet and General Hammond), scramble frantically to figure out how to fix him.

I will say that some of the basic facts are wrong (she has Sam's mother dying from an illness rather than the car accident), and some of the POV switches are rather awkward, but I love the story so much it doesn't detract (in my opinion).

Why This Must Be Read: This is the first of two recs I'll be making from this author. Elizabeth is one of my favourite authors, especially her Jack, and all of her fics are worth reading.

In this lovely fic set immediately after "The Warrior", Teal'c realises he needs to make amends to Jack for his behaviour with K'Tano. Great Teal'c voice and wonderful interactions with an insightful Bra'tac only add depth to this story. Gorgeous character study of Teal'c and Jack through Teal'c's eyes, and you can feel how much love and respect Teal'c has for Jack, and vice versa. With a wonderfully glorious team moment in Jack's office, with Daniel and Sam quietly supporting them both, it's an absolutely must for Jack and Teal'c fans.

Why This Must Be Read: I'm so excited about this fic I had to rec it immediately-which means you're getting an extra rec from me this month-I had four but now you're getting five.

Posted just today, "Any One You Walk Away From" is a gorgeous episode tag to "The Serpent's Venom" with a dash of teamy goodness alongside the outstanding Jack and Teal'c friendship. [livejournal.com profile] penknife is one of my favorite authors, and writes a wonderfully competent and insightful Jack in this piece.

In this story, Teal'c is struggling to overcome the torture he endured in the episode. And he's denying that he needs help, so Jack just lets him know he's there when he's ready. And when they do talk a little about it (the part I've excerpted), it's a gorgeous conversation because Jack's talking about his own experiences, too. There are seriously not enough words for me to explain how wonderful Jack and Teal'c are in this fic (Daniel and Sam are awesome, too, even with their small screentime, don't worry).

And the team rallying around each other (and Daniel not even being fazed or surprised by a middle-of-the-night call from Jack about a Goa'uld defeat victory party) and helping Teal'c in their own ways is nicely done, too. Go read it!

Why This Must Be Read: This is a wonderful, early season Teal'c and Jack story where Teal'c makes some assumptions about the Tau'ri and SG-1, and Jack has to explain it's not quite how it's done.

Dorothy writes a wonderful Teal'c voice, and in this fic it's just outstanding. Teal'c is perfectly in character as he tries to adjust to even the sounds on Earth that are different from Chulak and then asks Jack some questions about sexual matters of the Tau'ri, and Jack is wonderful as he tries to explain why he doesn't engage with sex with any of his team, and how the Air Force feels about it.

Wonderful early season Jack and Teal'c, when you can see they trust each other but they don't quite know each other yet. The author calls it Pre-Slash but I don't read it that way at all, so don't let the "pre-slash" warning scare you off.

Stultiloquentia paints a rich, lush picture of Jack at home, utterly at peace, at the lake in Minnesota when he invites the team there post-Threads. This is the bones of the man, etched against water and sky and memory: character study at its finest.

And while Sam and Daniel still sleep in the cabin, Teal'c joins him at the dock in perfect companionship - spare words exchanged, with a wealth of meaning underneath.

This is mostly a Jack piece, with fond echoes of team; Teal'c is included only in the final paragraphs. But I rec it here for Jack and Teal'c friendship for the richness of those last lines, and the way both human and Jaffa are so exactly right.

Why This Must Be Read: Destina gives Jack marvelous voice here, as he fiercely clings to that long-distance connection with his team after moving to Washington, keeping his finger on their pulses and knowing when he needs to be there for them.

We are first treated to a powerful episode tag to Prototype, with Jack and Daniel's shorthand communication that speaks volumes in understanding and pain. Then it shifts to Jack and Teal'c in the wake of Stronghold, and you'll find your breath taken away by the sheer depth and breadth of their friendship: the memories of shattering experiences shared and eased, the bond of warriors and leaders, and the challenge of those with whom they serve and whom they must inspire.

And the few paragraphs on post-Abyss will leave you gasping.

Magnificent prose, an almost intimate understanding, and stellar characterization: it's all here, and it's all marvelous.

There is magnificent Teal'c POV, written with gravity and choice turns of phrase. Teal'c looks back at his habits over the years and his connections with Jack, at the weight of their burdens and challenges and the choices they make for the sake of others. It's all wrapped up in Jack's fondness for cliches and the benefits of long, hot showers; but there are layers and layers here, waiting to be read with careful thought and even deeper appreciation.

This is the Teal'c I love, and the Jack he respects: the warrior friendship bond at its absolute best.

Teal'c is a stunning bulwark, both figuratively and literally. Sam uses her military knowledge to comprehend Jack's choices. And Daniel - watching Jack watch Daniel slowly talk his way into understanding will move you nearly to tears.

Teal’c weighed the flat pebble in his palm. It was worn smooth on both sides, polished by river currents until it took on a silken sheen, and had taken the heat from his body; almost like a living thing. He curled his fingers around it and swung his arm, casting it in a wide arc upon the lake.

Fantastic Teal'c POV, with some lovely introspection (excerpted below) on his perception of the Tau'ri. If you love Teal'c and Jack even a fraction as much as Aurora must to write such a delightful story, then Flights of Ingenuity is definitely for you.
