Prodigal by Domenika Marzione (FR-T) (SG-1/Atlantis/NCIS)
Yeah, yeah, I know I've gone a little overboard reccing this category, but I've only got one left to go after this one, and then I'm done (I wanted to get my favorites all recced before class starts up again).

Why this should be read:
Honestly, I wasn't sure if I should rec this fic, because the Stargate character who receives the greatest focus is Major Lorne, and it's after he leaves the SGC to become Sheppard's XO on Atlantis. However, I think there are enough SG-1 characters in large roles to qualify for this community.
Told from NCIS's POV, this fic provides an excellent and well-written look at the SGC from the outside. Gibbs and Co. have several dead scientists who may have been killed by Marines, and all their investigations lead to dead ends. Naturally, Gibbs is not one to bow out of a case just because some Air Force general hells him to; he's determined to solve the case and find out about whatever nefarious program they're so desperate to hide. As with all of Domenika's fic, the military details are perfect (or as perfect as possible given the source material).
Director Shepard called her and Gibbs into her office at 1200.
"I have had three very interesting conversations today," Shepard began as soon as the secretary closed the door behind her. "The first was from the director of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. He said that we might have accidentally stumbled upon a lead into one of their existing investigations and would I be so generous as to make my agents available for debriefing and to hand off the case. The second was from your boss, Colonel Mann, reporting that he'd gotten the exact same message. And the third came from the Pentagon, from the office of an Air Force two-star I've never heard of, asking for an appointment."
Shepard sat forward in her seat and folded her hands neatly on her desk.
"What the hell are you two up to and why does the Air Force care so much?"
Hollis looked over at Gibbs, who gave her a minute shrug that she correctly interpreted as the particular brand of indifference to politics that made him a brilliant investigator and a piss-poor ally in a bureaucratic fight.
"Honestly, ma'am, I have no idea why the Air Force is interested," she answered. "We've had a break-in at Fort Meade, possibly preceded by a suspicious death, and we've had a murder at NAB Little Creek followed by another break-in. Our suspect profiles, such as they are, indicate a group of five men with training by the Marines and possibly the IDF. Neither Doctor Feng nor Doctor Kennedy were present or former Air Force personnel and we don't have a single piece of evidence stamped 'property of the United States Air Force.'"
They were operating under the possibility that the five men were mercenaries and/or traitors, but there was the possibility that they were still working for some government alphabet soup agency and this was sanctioned, lawful or not. In which case it still didn't explain why the Air Force had the lead.
"General O'Neill is showing up at 1500," Shepard told them. "Before that time, I want to know why the Air Force is interested and whether that interest should supersede our own."
