Genie of the MALP by Moonshayde (PG)

Categories: team, lost episode, drama, humor
Warnings: Some Jack whumping, but nothing serious
Author's Webpage/Fic list: SG-1 Gen Fic
Link to story: LJ
Why this should be read:
Even leaving aside my unreasonable love of stories based on misunderstandings, this fic is just plain fun. Basically, SG-1 is on a planet trying to find the MALP they sent through (because, really, they've already lost enough to annoy the higher-ups) when they're caught by a native who thinks they're genii. Captured and then separated, SG-1 has to do some quick-thinking to get out of this one. We get to see Teal'c dancing, and Sam and Daniel get to play with flashy technology. What's not to love?

Why This Must Be Read: Vala and Teyla, both writing reports for the same mission. We need both Teyla's cool diplomatic wording and Vala's blunt and easy manner to get the real picture of what happened, but when you put it all together, you'll find it hard to stop laughing!

Teamy goodness, snark, and just the right amount of silliness to make this an absolute delight.

Why this should be read:
Pedagogy is a lovely ficlet wherein Cassie's self-defence teacher is not quite prepared for a (female) student trained by an ex-black ops Colonel. Janet is not impressed. Not much else to say here. An excellent snippet of Cassie's life outside the SGC, which is always nice.

Why This Must Be Read: Teamy goodness, delicious snark, and Sam participating in an off-world motorcycle race with Ancient technology as the prize. The gang's all here, from Jack to Mitchell to Ba'al, as Sam and Vala hunt for their missing teammates and deal with blackmail, "Blue Barbie," and various death threats. Team glee and ladies for the win!

Siler cleared his throat. ‘What are we going to do, ma’am?’

Her blue eyes glittered with determination. ‘We’re going to find the rest of SG1, win the race despite…Blue Barbie, keep our prize and kill Ba’al.’ She thought for a moment. ‘Maybe not in that order.’

Look to the Heavens and Number the Stars, by Minervacat (PG-13)

Title: Look to the Heavens and Number the Stars

Categories: awesome women, original character, Daniel, Jonas, team, episode related, Janet, character study, angst
Warnings: spoilers through S9, including canon character deaths
Author's Webpage/Fic list: when the floods roll back
Link to story: Look to the Heavens and Number the Stars, parts one and two, and The Silent Language of the Star (a companion fic)

Why This Must Be Read: Minervacat introduces us to a superbly-realized original character, Claire, who is recruited to the SGC by Jack at Daniel’s behest. Claire slowly takes over the staggeringly difficult task of cataloging the artifacts that accumulate over the years. With time, she befriends the characters we know and love - especially Janet, her main source of gossip, and Daniel, who never returns her books. Yet Minervacat cleverly evades the Mary-Sue trap for Claire; this original character remains quietly on the sidelines, interacting only enough to be a part of the story without interfering in the events as we know them, or knowing more than she should.

Covering some seven years of SG-1 history - including a fascinating side-trip into the AU of Moebius - these two fics are elegantly written, with just the right touches of humor and distress to make Claire amazingly real.

A librarian at the SGC, with all that entails. Both these stories are too wonderful to be missed!

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.

To Dance On The Floor In The Round, By Pepper (PG)

Categories: Kidfic, Team, Humor
Warnings: Babyfic, some swearing
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Stargate fic on LJ
Link to story: To Dance On The Floor In The Round

Why this should be read: Really, truly, funny. Pepper labels it "highly indulgent" and normally I don't care for babyfic but if you enjoy OT4, (gen!OT4 of course), and kidfic tropes at all, this is a great indulgence. There's lots of funny dialog and somehow everyone remains in character, with just the perfect amount of crackiness. About 8910 words.

"This may be problematic."

Why this should be read: So many good Cassie fics—how to choose? I'm going with totally adorable as my criteria.

Uncle Jack and Uncle Daniel take a very young Cassie on a trip to the zoo. Where, you know, all the animals are confined. Then ensues much catering to child logic. I'm utterly charmed that the girl who was rescued from a devastated planet indulges in some rescue fantasies of her own.

Coming Into Being, by Raven (PG)

What happened to all those enthusiastic kidfic reccers?

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.

Jack feels that the words "The good thing is ..." are always a little ominous.

Why this should be read: This short fic is so charming and full of convincing detail, that the characters and gate 'verse spring to life. Daniel translates Ancient poetry, Sam and Rodney argue about physics, eat hamburgers and write equations on their napkins. About 3,750 words.

Rodney. Sam. Gardening instructions. Physics. Oh, and also muggers.

Categories: Janet, Episode Tag, Friendship, Team, Humor, Season 1
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: BetaCandy SG-1 Fic
Link to story: Assess This

Why this should be read: In this fic SG-1 goes to the infirmary after "Emancipation", and I have no problem saying that I liked it much better than that episode. It's one of the best Janet fics I've read, in which we get to see Janet's first impressions of SG-1, (almost always fun), and learn a lot about Janet in the process. The stage is set for Janet's relationships with SG-1 and her easy friendship with Sam. And there is plenty of low key humor and funny lines but they don't undermine my belief in the characters or the essential seriousness of the elements that this story explores.

On Janet Fraiser’s third day at the SGC, she meets SG-1 for the first time, as they return from the mission in "Emancipation". Sam gets in trouble, Daniel gets in trouble, Jack gets maternal, and Janet gets to go home and shower.

Lost in Translation, by Vathara (PG)

Title: Lost in Translation

Categories: under the influence, drama, team, humor, Walter, Janet, Hammond
Warnings: influence-induced kinda-sorta pairings (nothing explicit)

Link to story: Lost in Translation

Why this should be read: A Goa'uld is too lazy to read the instructions, and a rabbit-shaped yellow furball almost takes down the SGC... entirely by accident!

I am very fond of this fic - it was the first ever story I recced! - and it is both hugely entertaining and easy to visualize as an episode happening on-screen. Like many other older FF.net fics, the scene breaks have been stripped out, making it somewhat hard to follow; but trust me when I say that it's worth it. Even with the extra "Danny"s. :)

Fic Rec: Daniel Jackson and the Flagon with the Dragon by Winterstar

I apologize in advance for not being able to get my snippet from the fic behind a cut. No matter what I'm doing I can't get it to hide!

Title:: Daniel Jackson and the Flagon with the Dragon
Author's LJ/DWJ: Unknown
Categories: Team, Humor, Under the Influence
Warnings: None
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Winterstar at Ancient's Musings
Link to story: Harry Potter and the Flagon with the Dragon
Why this should be read: Things get quite interesting when Sam, Jack, and Daniel suddenly believe they are characters (and by default everyone around them) from Harry Potter. This fic is funny and then takes a turn into a touching exchange between Jack and Daniel (aka Ron and Harry) before the humor and banter comes back. This is one of those fics that always makes me smile on re-reading.

After being hit with a staff blast and healed by Vala with a purloined hand device, Cam is held for observation and tests in the same room of the same hospital where he recuperated after Antarctica, and the rest of the team pitches in -- each in her or his own delightfully in-character way -- to make his stay bearable. Fabulous Cam point of view, smart and entertaining dialogue, and outstanding, 100% sap-free team friendship. About 4600 words.

Why this should be read:
This is a cute little ficlet that just proves that the magnificent, wonderful SG-1 sometimes aren't the perfect heroes, and each can be as dorky as the rest. Sam is the victim this time, and Jack naturally finds her at a most inopportune time.

This is probably one of my all time favorites. Its a day in the life of the SGC's Chief Medical Officer, as narrated by the CMO through her dictaphone. She brings in many characters from several teams, including SG-1, and Janet's day is filled with stress, drama and a bit of humor each day.

Why this should be read: This may be my favorite Teal'c fic. It is beautifully written, funny and moving. I actually choked up at the ending the first time I read it. Starting with "Checkers" and ending with "Chutes and Ladders" each game gets longer, more involved and more interesting.

Plus it has wonderful illustrations! And links to some of the games mentioned! (I'm a geek about background stuff.) Really an amazing fic in only 2800 words.
