Why This Must Be Read: I don't usually read Daniel/Sam as the pairing just doesn't ring true for me (in fact I'm pretty sure I got half-way through the story the first time around before I realized what the pairing was), but I love this story anyway. Animal transformation stories are a favourite of mine in other fandoms, but sadly SG1 doesn't really lend itself to those easily, so to find a story in the SG1 fandom that works for that troupe was like finding gold. The author takes their time developing an interesting plot that's fun to read and has just the right ballance of angst, humour and a smidgen of romance. Daniel is believeable as a dog, yet still very much Daniel.

Author's summary: An alien spirit has 'borrowed' Daniel Jackson's body, promising to return it in two month's time. But Daniel discovers another spirit has hostile designs on Samantha Carter. In order to protect her, he has no choice but to inhabit the body of a dog. Guarding her from all threats, he hides his true identity, as well as his secret love for her.

But a dog's life is a dangerous thing, and the threats Daniel faces off-world pale in comparison to the peril he faces on Earth itself. In the end, saving Sam may prove easier than saving himself.

Out of all the Sentinel/SGA/SG1 crossover stories I have read this is my favourite. Not only does Keira Marcos takes on the Sentinel mythology but runs with it enhances it and creates a superb series delving deeper into the Sentinel/Guide Universe beautifully. John has spent his life as an unbounded Sentinel riding under the radar until he meets Rodney a guide and then John’s Sentinel side can’t hold back.

Why this must be read:

Daniel visited Jack and Teal'c while ascended, but what about poor Sam? What is she, chopped liver? Well, not to Ms. Moonshayde! In this very moving piece, Sam gets a visit from a Daniel who is somehow familiar, and yet different, while injured on a mission. With wonderful use of dialogue and action, Moonshayde gives us an incident where Daniel visits Sam to give comfort and succor during trying times. While Moonshayde isn't writing in SG1 fandom anymore, this example of her writing just goes to show that good stories continue to get around. Go read!

Story Summary: When Sam is trapped and injured off-world, she is rescued by an old friend. But she soon realizes this isn't the Daniel she once knew.

The Longest Night of the Year

Why this must be read:

Now for a complete opposite to my last Dan/Sam rec...  an utterly light-filled Christmas-y romance! Daniel is recovering his memories in Season 7 and visits Sam about some unfinished business. He comes while she is putting up her Christmas decorations. What follows is one of the most romantic holiday fics I've read in SG1 fandom. I love Amaranth's flow in Longest Night; it flows seamlessly from bringing coffee to decorating the Christmas tree to slow-dancing to holiday jazz. It's soft. It's sweet. It's romantic. What else is appropriate right before Christmas, I ask you?

Story Summary: Solstice (n) 1. Annually, the two days when the sun is at its furthest points from the celestial equator, resulting in the longest day or night of the year. 2. A culminating event; a turning point. See also: Sam and Daniel on a cold winter night.

Ripples From the Heart

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:

Last Noel is painful. Very, very painful... And yet... It'll suck you in faster than a Stargate Ka-whoosh!! This dark, short piece explores how Daniel and Sam "celebrate" their first five Christmas' together before Meridian . With evocative imagery and quick snapshots, Rofflewaffles will take Daniel and Sam on a gloomy journey of togetherness and despair.

In the quiet moments of changing watch shifts, something very softly shifts them from friends to something more. With subtle description, Surreallis will give you an excellent example of why this pairing can be sweet as well as angsty.

Why this must be read:

I know I've recced this already in the angst category, but I don't feel that I'm doing a Dan/Sam spat of reccing justice without bringing this up. This is hands down one of the saddest and most emotional fics I've read for this pairing and in Stargate fandom in general. After Daniel's "death", Sam is left with only memories, Daniel's glasses, and an empty apartment with a haunting melody playing in the background. What is especially poignant is that Daniel used to play Mahler's Adagietto for Sam; so the melody in the background just tugs at the readers heartstrings all the harder. Adagietto ties in so many aspects I adore in fics: tie-in with music, high on emotions, and lyrical word usage. Don't forget to have the song playing in the background as you read; it makes the fic all the more touching.

Story Summary: "Listening to him play was one of the things that you most loved to do, because you could lose yourself in the music and you didn't have to think about what was bothering you."

Why this must be read:

At first I thought this was your typical SG1 adventure story (i.e. go to planet, meet aliens, get in trouble, get out of trouble, go home) with a side of Dan/Sam. Then a jaw-dropping turn (and you should have heard my scream when it happened!) at the end of Chapter 2 turned this into an emotional adventure that just made me want to weep, laugh, and cheer in various turns. Thraesja managed to draw me in extremely fast with wonderful description, emotional heart-string tugs, and spot-on character voices. This has now become one of my absolute fav Dan/Sam adventure stories. Definitely check out this and the author's other wonderful fics!

Why this must be read:

This has got to be one of the saddest Daniel/Sam fics I’ve ever come across. It’s a walk through Sam’s mind as she remembers Daniel after his “death” in Meridian. What Jeanine has done here is just poetry of the soul. She’s tied together Daniel’s talent in music, his place as a refuge in Sam’s life, and a truly tragic incident in the figure skating world that Sam equates with her situation so well.

As Sam’s sitting in Daniel’s empty apartment, listening on CD to the song that Daniel played for her, the reader gets such a deep sense of the love these two shared. To Sam, her sanctuary has been ripped away, leaving her with only memories, a haunting melody coming from the CD player, and Daniel’s glasses. Another example of the depth of emotion these two share. Go read and cry!!!

Story Summary: "Listening to him play was one of the things that you most loved to do, because you could lose yourself in the music and you didn't have to think about what was bothering you."

Link: Five Times Sam Has Regretted Eating That Blue Jell-O

Why this must be read: Scroll down to read the fic amongst the other 'five things'. Awhile ago I was getting pretty bored with Sam/Jack fics, but when I read the second "regret", when she's eating in the commissary, it completely forced me back into that fandom. It's funny, sad, sexy, embarrassing... and all in five tries. The Sam/Daniel part really isn't my thing, and if the same goes for you... don't let it deter you. The theme of blue Jell-O is often overused in SG fanfics, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as proven by this author. Every story Jennghis Khan has written is amazing, but sometimes the short and simple pieces are the ones that stick with you.

There's an off-chance the third 'regret' might be considered non-consensual. I didn't think so at all but my friend was convinced otherwise- so I suppose it's up for interpretation. But the second one... wow.

We also see a positive development in the Tok'ra and Tau'ri relations, which I personally like very much. All in all it is a nice, long, romance - with many humourous scenes.

One of my fandom-peeves is the creation of alternate realities without a plausible diversion point - it happens too often, both in fic and the show. Eventhorizon7 gives us an outline of a believable diversion point without boring readers with an extensive (and unnecessary) narrative backstory.

There's a sequel to Ripples from the Heart called Correct Application of Pressure, although I have to say that I really enjoy the hopeful but still unresolved ending of the first fic as the conclusion to the story.

Even when he was still, he was moving. When he sat at his desk, he tapped a pencil on the arm of his chair. In briefings, his leg bounced up and down underneath the table. If one of his limbs weren’t moving, his mouth was, muttering to himself, explaining some obscure text to a captive audience, puzzling through a problem verbally. Even in bed, he tossed and turned and hogged the covers. [...] Sharing a bed with Daniel was sometimes hard work. Not that it didn’t have its perks.

During her recovery from the events of Line in the Sand, Sam feels the need to update the letters she's prepared, the ones that are to be distributed to her friends and family after her death.  Some of the changes are easy,  some hard, and some heartbreaking.  It's a lovely look into Sam's views on her relationships with each of her teammates, past and present.   There's Sam/Daniel UST, but it's possible to squint it away with a robust pair of gen goggles if so desired.

Why This Must Be Read: In the world of fanfic, whether het or slash, the relationships within are explored at a level of convention that is rarely crossed; either due to mindset or experience. This story does not listen to nor observe the readers typical ideas of a normal relationship and it will give you something to think about; how we approach our hearts and the ones we allow inside. We watch as Cameron flails and fails and falls all the while attempting to hold together SG-1 and mainly Danielle Jackson. Their relationship is harsh, biting and digs into your skin; immersing you into their world as they find love in it's purest form. You will ache as Cam becomes a lifeline even while drowning and drowning out the voices of reason in Sam and Teal'c. This story is not dark, it's real and it hurts and it will make you hold your breath as Cameron and Dani learn to give more of themselves than they had any reason to believe. I really can't put into words all of the reasons why you need to read this story.
