Categories: Things that go *boom*, Action/Adventure, Daniel, Jack, Sam, Teal'c
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: SG-1 Master Fic List
Link to story: Kaboom
Why this should be read:
As with all of kellifer's fic, this is amazingly written. SG-1 is captured by the NID and separated, Jack with Sam and Daniel with Teal'c. We follow Jack's point of view as he and Sam do morse code with their boots, dig their way out of an explosion, and discover that Daniel and Teal'c have saved the day. The glimpse of Daniel and Teal'c friendship at the end is also very nice.

Why this should be read: It's not just a kitten that follows Daniel into his bathroom. It's not even just a Goa'uld kitten that follows Daniel into his bathroom. It's a macro-spouting baby Goa'uld LOLcat that follows Daniel into his bathroom, and about 2100 very funny words follow that.

Link to story: Zephyr
Why this should be read: Set about ten years in the future, when Sam is the general in command of the SGC and the Stargate Program has just gone public, this lovely, pensive fic is a combination of turning-outward (Sam wrestling with the demands of presenting the Program to the world accurately and sympathetically via the unruly media) and turning-inward (the team, coming back together to mourn the passing of a longtime comrade, closing in tight on itself). Outstanding Sam characterization, plausible and poignant extrapolation, 2431 words.

Warnings: none

Why This Must Be Read: Just when you think there can't be possibly be yet another good episode tag for Shades of Grey, you discover an absolute gem like this one, in which a heavy-hearted Jack thinks he's lost his team and their friendship... and discovers that he hasn't.

Stellar Jack POV and characterization lend an extra degree of impact to etrangerici's story. 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.

Lovely, lovely teamy goodness. This one is just plain fantastic.


He finally felt that he was solid on his foundations once more. Because they were his team. And they weren't letting go.

Title: Teal'c's and Daniel's Favorite Books

Categories: character study, character: Daniel, character: Teal'c, theme: terrific Teal'c
Warnings: None
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Fic tag
Link to story: Teal'c's and Daniel's Favorite Books
Why this should be read: Two compact and sparkling gems of characterization through reading material. Teal'c's choices (official and unofficial) are full of snark and satire and social commentary, conveyed in a style that perfectly emulates Teal'c's brand of deadpan humor. Daniel's choice is vividly evocative of his family history as he conceives it; his section is beautifully written, insightful and moving and uplifting. And both pieces have killer last lines.

Categories: team, lost episode, drama, Jacob, angst, friendship
Warnings: references to canon minor character deaths, team whumping, language
Author's Webpage/Fic list: currently unavailable
Link to story: The Undefended Territory

Why this should be read: SG-1 gate to an ice planet and plunge, quite literally, into disaster. When what ought to be a routine rescue fails, Sam and Teal'c are forced to retreat to the Gate for help while Jack and Daniel struggle with injuries and hypothermia. With the SGC in lockdown and something deadly waking up beneath the ice, how can Sam and Teal'c get to Jack and Daniel in time?

Tok'ra cold-blooded pragmatism goes head-to-head with SG-1 loyalty and loses miserably; Jack and Daniel make the ultimate emotional sacrifice and give up their most cherished pasts for each other's lives; and the reader comes away from this amazing story with the mental shakes and a burning need to read everything else Julie has ever written.

Why this should be read:
Soul Senses takes place shortly after the episode Threshold, and features an SG-1 that is trying but not-quite-over Teal'c's forced betrayal. When a suspicious village picks up on the team's hesitation and Teal'c's own insecurities, SG-1 is forced to undergo a test to prove their trustworthiness. Now they must find their way back to the village in two days, while overcoming the handicaps that the village elder/shaman has saddled them with. This fic is about Teal'c, and his team, and learning to work together again when you thought you'd forgotten how. A good read.

These are the fics that first made me love Sha're. In a world where Daniel was taken by Apophis and Sha're joined the SGC to look for him, beatrice otter follows Sha're as she fights for a place on SG-1 and responds to Teal'c's guilt over what happened to Daniel. Beatrice does a wonderful job of giving life to a character we only see glimpses of in canon.

Why this should be read: When I was looking at Pepper's fics I saw another fun kidfic with Cassie and Teal'c, how could I resist? In this sweet little fic, Teal'c goes to fellow alien Cassandra Fraiser after the rest of SG-1 compeletly fail to understand Jaffa humor in the third season episode "Seth".

There is a wonderful remix by sixbeforelunch, Elephant Jokes (the only slightly evil remix), which I also recomend highly.

No one gets Teal'c.

Title: Coming Into Being
Author's LJ/DWJ: loneraven
Categories: kidfic, team, humor, Hammond, Janet, Rothman, Nyan, Jacob
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Sleeping With Ghosts
Link to story: Coming Into Being

Why this should be read: So the members of the team are suddenly downsized. What makes this so much fun, though, is the secondary cast of characters – Hammond, Janet, Jacob, and even Robert Rothman and Nyan (two of my favorites, to be honest!).

While the antics of the children are enjoyable – Jack’s Froot Loops, Daniel’s passive resistance against speaking (or wearing shoes), Sam’s flat refusal to wear anything pink and frilly – it’s really the reactions of the adults around them that make the reader smile. There’s Rothman’s frustration that his boss has turned into what he considers to be a horrible child; there’s Jacob’s secret delight at having some time back with his little girl again. And there’s Teal’c’s bemusement at the personalities of his younger teammates, and Nyan’s drive to help, and Janet’s struggle to communicate with Daniel...

This one is fluffy and fun, with a little character study sneaking around the edges. And it’s definitely a fic that you’re sure to enjoy.
