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.

Why This Must Be Read: Walter perspective is such a rare treat! Here is Walter the Chevron Guy, watching the Quantum Mirror rather than the Stargate, and... waiting. His thoughts on various team members, and how Hammond interacts with all them, is fantastic.

This is sad and somber and somehow lonely, but that element of stubborn hope leaves you believing that there just might be a happy ending after all.

Why This Must Be Read: Of course Sam would work her way through the confusion of Ripple Effect through structual analysis...

This is a delightful character study of Sam and her stream-of-consciousness in the wake of meeting so many other Sam Carters - and other teammates - and the choices that altered their realities. It's perfectly Sam and a very enjoyable read.

She printed out a few of the more amusing graphs for herself and her teammates - Teal’c was going to love the pie chart of what pie was being served at the commissary tomorrow in seventy different universes - and then shut her computer down for the night.

Why This Must Be Read: Aaah, the good ol' Quantum Mirror... I'm a sucker for a good Quantum Mirror fic. Well okay, this isn't quite a Quantum Mirror fic: it's a Quantum-Mirror-esque-device-with-a-twist fic. A twist the team doesn't realize until they're on the other side: a time travel function. Oops. And so they arrive at Met in 1972.
This story is a unique look at an old SG1 troupe with an interesting plot that's both emotionally charged and with a clever resolution. And the epilogue is a perfect ending that leaves you with a tearful smile.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a hugely entertaining exploration of a reality where the Langford expedition discovers the quantum mirror rather than the Stargate. Bill Lee, General West, and the team that went through the Stargate in the movie (minus Jack and Daniel) are the only players we can recognize; but you'll fall in love with the original characters pretty quickly - especially Dr. Alicia Tremont, who is fabulous. Enjoy the in-character humor, the camaraderie, the intelligence of the players, and the nods to realities that are more familiar to us. A fantastic, absorbing read!

Why This Must Be Read: The Summary says: Sheppard goes surfing and doesn't have amnesia.

This is part 1 of a seven story series called CrissCross.

During a mission John gets his head caught in an artifact (a la O’Neill) but instead of having the knowledge of the ancients transferred into it he is instead his consciousness is transferred into an alternate universe and into an alternate John Sheppard and the AU Sheppard’s consciousness into his body.

Finding himself on a surfboard on Earth he realises he has a problem. Not sure what to believe, he has to find his way home. His alternate is no longer in the air force but flies news helicopters and has never been involved with the SGC. John takes a risk to contact the SGC and soon is being whisked away to Cheyenne Mountain.

I love these types of AUs where there is some canon divergence and where both John and Rodney meet their friend’s counterpart.

Why This Must Be Read: The Summary says: Oh, that pesky quantum mirror. Jack and Daniel step through the Stargate into a universe that is not their own, the day before they're supposed to go on a long-overdue vacation. Every time they try to get home they're led to a universe more unusual than the last. What's worse: the fact that they may not survive to get back home, or the fact that even if they do, they may not make their flight?

OK So Jack and Daniel stepped through the Stargate but it malfunctions and arrived in a different universe and now have to jump from universe to universe to get to their own and all Jack wanted was a beach vacation.

Two SG1 teams one Planet. The mission goes wrong and Jack takes home the wrong Daniel. I love the two different versions of Jack and Daniel One pair who have the experience of being a loving couple and the other pair still oblivious to the others feelings. Yeah Daniel and Jack together…it works.

Why this must be read:

So we say good-bye to another round of Quantum Mirror Universes with one more example of the absolutely wonderful stuff this genre can give the Stargate fandom. Daniel/Daniel/Daniel smut!!! That's right, it's a doggy pile of hotness in this breath-taking (at times quite literally for me) pile of smut. And the wonder of it is... This could have happened! We never get to see what happened to all those Daniels, do we? Another glorious reason to love Quantum Mirror Universes/Alternate Realities!! So enjoy the lovely hotness in the cold winter (if you're in the Northern Hemisphere at least) months ahead!

Story Summary: I could be wordy and talk about plot and stuff, but its mostly an excuse for Daniel and sex and Daniel and sex and Daniel...

Why this must be read:

Even though this fic explores the ever popular Quantum trope of 'dead people coming through the Quantum Mirror' again, Sid takes it a step further by bringing back Jack's son Charlie with an AU Daniel, AU Sam, and original character. The greatest fear of any parent is the death of their child; now Jack faces the "ghost" of his son only to lose him again when Charlie goes back through the Mirror with his adopted father, AU Daniel. Now add to this emotional rollercoaster a spectacular Jack/Daniel get together and just spot-on characterization, and you've got a winner of a fic!

Story Summary: Visitors from an alternate universe bring Jack pain and cause a rift in his relationship with Daniel.

Why this must be read:

A touching and searing look at lost opportunities and second chances, Ripples From the Heart makes one just want to give AU Daniel a big hug and cuddle. That Daniel lost his Sam, but not before they had a loving relationship and family first. Now he's faced with another Sam who hasn't approached her Daniel with her feelings. So begins a very tender exploration of what could be waiting in store for Sam if she just chucks up enough courage to say those magic words. Alternate/quantum realities give so many chances for the exploration of these sort of themes, and Eventhorizon7 delivers in this one.

Story Summary: During a chance encounter with an alternate Daniel, Sam realizes that there could be much more to her life.

Why this must be read:

This is an epic journey for Jack and Daniel through a malfunctioning gate to several realities. What I adore about this series is how Debi explores all different kinds of pairings for these two gents, and yet she builds up to a great get together for our Jack and Daniel. The realities they visit are also extremely vivid and lush with their own quirks and fates. I also like how Debi gave each reality a resolution chapter, just for that reality. Definitely a good series to curl up to when you've snow/rain knocking at your door.

I apologize for my lack of recs this month and this is my last one (sorry mods for not making my required four). RL took me over and it ain't done with me yet.

Link: In the Company of Men

Why this must be read:

I almost hesitate to rec this 'cause I know lots of people have problems with mpregs; I should know, I happen to be one of them. However, what tejas has done is something almost miraculous. In the process of exploring a concept that just seems too out there, she has managed to write a tight and engaging story where my shudders of horror at reading about pregnant guys don't seem that earthquake-y. And the beauty of writing this fic as a quantum mirror fic is that the concept of mpreg is conceivable and believable in tejas' capable hands. So while the thought of those warnings might turn you off (they almost did me), give "Company of Men" a chance. It's definitely worth the read.

Author's Summary: The NID "failed" to destroy the quantum mirror. SG1 do a little research with it and learn what might have happened had Nirrti come in ships before the SGC got off the ground.

Why this must be read:

Alrighty. For my first fic in this category, I'm pulling out a fav of mine. What I love about Survival is how Eve shows what a different turn of events can do to a character and change them so artfully. When the team is pulled into another reality, they come face to face with this in the alternate Daniel. While some of the changes may seem a bit extreme or off, the events that shaped him just make it work.

And to top all this off, Eve writes a tight and engaging adventure/team story. A wonderful example of fantastic alternate reality fanfic-writing.

Author's summary: When an accident sees SG-1 wind up in a nightmare dimension, they must find a way home. However, an unlikely obstacle stands in their path.

Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4292421/1/

Why This Must Be Read: John and Teyla's friendship is my favorite part of Stargate Atlantis so it's a pleasure to share with you some of the many wonderful stories centered around their bond. An oldie but goodie is Cutting the Gordian Knot by katstales, a quite powerful and dark story. John and Teyla are making a routine pickup at a trading partner when they discover the village destroyed and everyone dead except a lone woman who tells Teyla that John did it and took all the children of the village. Even if John hadn't been with her at the time, Teyla would never believe that her best friend could be capable of such an act and tells the survivor so. The only problem is that thanks to the use of an alternate reality mirror, a John Sheppard did do it and is still lurking around. Teyla must figure out what is going on, deal with him and save herself and John, who's been knocked out by his doppelganger. What would make ANY John Sheppard commit such acts? Does Teyla have it within herself to hurt a John Sheppard, even one that has gone so far off the reservation?

This story goes to some very unexpected places and has interesting things to say about morality. Teyla's characterization is excellent; she is strong, brave, empathetic and wise. Her John and the other Sheppard are equally well-written.The John and Teyla friendship is strongly and warmly presented and brightens what could have been a very sad story.
