Author's Summary:

Jack has a possible new tenant. He can already tell she’s trouble.

Why This Must Be Read:

This is the first story in a revised/re-imagined 'House that Jack Built' series. It stands alone well as an AU, but you can go on and read the rest of the stories, if you're interested. It's a fun series and I'll recommend that for happy reading.

Author's Summary:

Four times Hammond talks with Sam off the record about her feelings for her CO.

Why This Must Be Read:

Tags for multiple episodes where Sam has revealed a bit too much about her feelings for Jack. This is largely a Sam and George fic, where George has to be the Boss and deal with potential problems of anything non-professional between Sam and Jack. But Jack looms over every word, even if he doesn't show up until the end.

A nicely done fic.

Link: A Kiss, as Comfort
Why This Must Be Read:For my last rec of the month: I'm pretty lucky to rec this, and so are you, for lo, I have commissioned fic! Also, Nagi’s been rec’ced already this month, so why not continue the trend? Her writing is fabulous. She happened to be writing 50 Kisses to prompts, and I jumped at the chance to request a Daniel/Vala one, and it is short but so, so sweet and lovely. New fic, just for me, and now, all of you! (So, sue me, I cheated a bit with this rec, and also, two in one day, but I'm a bit worried about my time for the next few days, so sorry. Thanks for bearing with me this month anyway!).
( Daniel was allowed to kiss Vala, but he respected her personal boundaries. )

Why This Must Be Read: Author’s Summary: The past will always find you, especially if you have something it wants.

This one is focussed on Vala's backstory, as you might have guessed, but also on how Daniel has a unique insight into her and her personality, and it is this knowledge that is at the core of their relationship, along with a lovely supportive team. A dark fic, but also angsty and romantic, with a strong serving of hurt/comfort.

( You see, Daniel? You might not have recognized what Sam did just now, let me explain it to you. )

Author's Summary:

Jack doesn’t like surprises. In fact, they piss him off. He’s had enough of them to last him till his final day. However, life doesn’t seem to agree. Whoever hates him up there decided to give him a real doozy today.

Why This Must Be Read:

While I kinda liked Pete in general, he really wasn't meant to be with Sam Carter. But Jack's not stepped up to let Sam know how he feels, either.

An interesting meeting between two of the men in Sam Carter's life.

Author's Website: Keira's World
Link: Patient Zero

Author's Summary:

Earth makes contact with Atlantis months after an out-of-control medical experiment destroyed their humanity. They get a little more than they bargained for when they meet the Tatsu.

Why This Must Be Read:

This story was originally written for a Rough Trade challenge. The fact that it's on the Wild Hare site and not her personal site means that Keira hasn't edited it and there's a note that it may never be edited. So there's a 'what you see is what you get' warning to be aware of. But if you don't subscribe to Wild Hare, you may miss seeing this story again. (And if you're one of the three people in fandom that have never read Keira's work, she doesn't tolerate concrit or begging for more. So don't.)

Another Atlantis-focused fic, but Jack O'Neill has a major part in this story.

It's a story of xenophobia, greed, and the IOA being total asshats (as Keira would say!).

After an IOA-sanctioned experiment by Carson Beckett on John Sheppard, but without John's knowledge or permission, a mutated virus got loose on Atlantis. It changes all those that survive to something other than human.

It's an interesting story about what makes us human, and how greed for powerful weapons and super-soldiers can skew one's morals.

Jack represents the US in this morality play, and -- even among his team mates -- is the only one who truly understands that 'people' are 'people'.

The Asgard are also major players in this story and we don't find out why until the end (which I'm not going to spoil!).

And interesting story with all of the major Stargate players.

La Troisieme Fois, by Shiggityshwa, Rated M

Show: SG-1, SGA
Rec Category:Daniel/Vala
Characters:Cameron Mitchell, Daniel Jackson, Ronon Dex, Vala Mal Doran, Tomin
Pairings:Cam/Vala; Daniel/Vala; Tomin/Vala; Ronon/Vala
Categories:Het
Warnings:discussions of childbirth, infertility
Author's Journal: I think tumblr, but not dreamwidth (I could be wrong)
Author's Website: Shiggityshwa’s profile on AO3
Link: La Troisieme Fois
Why This Must Be Read:
Author’s Summary: “A varying look at three major relationships of Vala's and how they changed drastically after a first date. Each chapter set in an alternate universe. The first story in a series of eight.”

So, Shiggityswha is primarily a Vala/Cam writer, and she is critical of the canon Daniel/Vala relationship, for reasons that I largely agree with. One of the best parts of fanfic, in my view, is that the best fandoms have canon source that leaves open multiple perspectives. But! I am rec’cing Daniel/Vala, and this one is a bit different, but I urge you to give it a try. It’s a series, Vala-centric, and each fic has three chapters. Each chapter is a separate timeline, involving Vala and a relationship with a different lover--Cam, Tomin, and Daniel, and includes the theme of children/family--a theme that was pursued (in my view) incompletely on the show (in terms of Vala, at least). So, the first timeline (chapter one of each fic) follows Cam and Vala, the second Tomin and Vala, and the third Daniel and Vala. For the Daniel/Vala, I suggest the second timeline (I promise, it will make sense). The third, which is Daniel/Vala, is a much darker (but not implausible) view of their relationship.

Shiggity’s fic is darker, and the characters are complex. Her understanding and characterization of Vala, though, is fantastic. One of the reasons I love this pairing so much is because of Vala: she is a strong, fascinating, complex character, and because she is also an unreliable narrator in terms of her own character, her story has infinite possibilities. I find this series both thought-provoking and satisfying, and each of her timelines as portrayed here very intriguing.

Author's Summary:

Debriefs with your wife can be a tricky tricky thing!

Why This Must Be Read:

Jack and Sam got permission from President Hayes to pursue a relationship, as long as they didn't tell anyone or let it affect their work.

It's not easy, but they make it work. Sam learns that "Jack" is a different person from "Colonel O'Neill". Jack learns that letting Sam take charge in Atlantis is good for her career, although he misses her fiercely.

Lovely story on how relationships can be made to work.

Author's Summary:

Journalist Artie Faber gets a rare interview with Master Teal’c of Chulak, Earth, and the Free Jaffa.

Why This Must Be Read:

My last rec was Teal'c's observation of Daniel as "O'Neill's beloved" -- this is where Sam is in that role.

For the Jack/Sam shipper, a story of romance and love over time and through their careers -- and after, as seen by their friend and teammate.

It's just lovely.

Link to Fic: Shrodinger

Author's Summary:

Two part (so far) story of why Jack shouldn't fiddle with Sam's doohickeys. Light shippy nonsense with a cute happy ending.

Jack touches a piece of Alteran tech he shouldn't have and ends up twenty years in his past. Will he trip up and tell Sam how he feels? What about his alternate self trapped twenty years ahead of his time? Can he handle what his life has become?

Why This Must Be Read:

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

It's one longer and one short fic where Jack touches something he shouldn't and gets sent to the past. There's some light pining (that we know will turn out well) and it's just a light, fluffy fic!

Sequel: Wherever You Roam. -- Sam from the first story meets a different Jack.

Author's Summary:

A season 7 AU about closing the SGC, originally written in February 2004. The apocalyptic tone made it seem timely again.

Why This Must Be Read:

A haunting story of one Jack and one Sam, not from the same universe, all looking to survive and hopefully save Earth from Anubis' fleet. It turns out that Anubis wins in too many different universes and finding one where they can each make a difference is hard.

Not an easy story, but one of determination and a glimmer of hope!

This Space Opera (Series) by AthenaAstrea (NC-17)

Show: SG-1

Rec Category: Jack O'Neill

Warnings: slash sex, het sex, minor secondary character bashing,
Word Count: 221,668
Author on DW: not found
Author's Website: AO3 profile
Link: This Space Opera (Series)

Author's Summary: (from the first story of the series)

Gibbs has two files in his head marked "DiNozzo" and "Trouble." Most problems involving his SFA end up in the file labeled "DiNozzo— Hilarious Trouble." This problem, however, is looking like it's going to end up in the other file, the one labeled "DiNozzo— Serious Trouble."

When a phone call from Philadelphia causes Tony to begin acting oddly, Gibbs suspects that something is wrong. His suspicions are confirmed when a Sentinel and Guide pair from the Philadelphia S & G Center show up at NCIS asking for Guide DiNozzo. Uncertain what his SFA has gotten himself into, Gibbs calls in the big guns: the former Judge Advocate General and the current Alpha Sentinel of D.C., A.J. Chegwidden, and his guide, Captain Harmon Rabb.

Why This Must Be Read:

A Jack/Tony fic, with a huge cast of characters.

An interesting take on Sentinels and Guide where there's no immediate imperative to bond and Sentinels can manage very well with temp Guides, thank you very much.

This is a series of 4 stories and while the AO3 page says it's not complete, it ends nicely and you're not left hanging.

Jack O'Neill doesn't show up until the 2nd story, the first serves as backstory to Tony's story. You can skip the first story, if you're only here for Jack O'Neill, but it's a good story and lays some of the background for who Tony is at the time he and Jack meet.

Of course, Tony gets dragged into the SGC, and he and Jack work to save the world, and their relationship, through all the crazy things that happen around them.

The stories are well written and fun.

Why This Must Be Read: Life's been stressful lately, so when @esteefee posted this cute, funny fic about John adopting a cat to entice Rodney back to Atlantis, it really hit the spot. With Atlantis parked near San Francisco, Rodney and Jennifer get an apartment together on the mainland.
