Why this should be read:
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.

Why this should be read:
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.

Link to story: Teal'c's Five Favorite Board Games

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.

Why this should be read: Because this fic is too funny to not be recced for the crackfic theme. I'm late but just pretend you've traveled back in time a few days.

Vala learns about a yearly tradition not far from the Springs and Daniel regrets not sticking with his "no"

We'll be moving to a new theme soon, so if you've got a favorite crackfic, now's the time to rec it!

Why this should be read: When Sam walks into Daniel's office and finds a kitten sitting on his office chair, the conclusion is inescapable...

This is my favorite kind of crackfic: utterly hilarious, perfectly in character, with zingers flying all over the place. Great fun!

Link to story: Investigation into the effects of zat'ni'ktel fire on the common Peep, by Samantha Carter

Why this should be read: Hammond knows that a bored SG-1 is a dangerous thing...

A completely straight-faced written report by Sam on what happens when you fire a zat at Peeps. As delightfully cracky as it sounds, and absolutely for the win!


The subjects for the experiment, a box of Peeps marshmallow candies, were provided by Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c was responsible for firing the zat'ni'ktel. Colonel O'Neill assisted in the disposal of experimental subjects after testing was complete.

Why this should be read: This ficlet is funny but not terribly cracky - well except that it's a tag to Brief Candle - which is completely cracked. And it's toga!fic!

... an off-the-cuff comment-fic from redial_the_gate. This is an episode epilogue for S1: Brief Candle, inspired by kahlessa, who, on the subject of Jack, Daniel and Teal'c in togas said, "Fanficcers, please take note that this should happen post haste."

Link to story: To Travel The Galaxy* (*and eat pie)

Why this should be read: Cowardly Lion has made several SG-1 comics, every single one of which makes me laugh out loud! In this particular adventure, screencaps for Red Sky are transformed instead into Jack's search for the secret ingredient to ensure the SGC wins the intra-galaxy bake-off. Teal'c is the only one of the team who seems semi-sane, but that's par for the course, isn't it?

Other gen comics include Gone Astray (an Unas wants to adopt a stray Daniel pet), Road Trip: SG-1 Style (SG-1 going on a "road trip" with Jacob/Selmak), and Rumor Mill (Felger wants to chase down the rumor about Colonel O'Neill for The Gate Gazette).

I just wish I could make her post comics daily!

Why this should be read: This is one of my favorite crackfics ever: Armed only with a tomato ketchup bottle, Daniel must save SG-1!

Everything is just that little bit OTT without ever sliding into OOC. Makes me laugh every time. :)

Title: The Wrong Button
Author's LJ/DWJ: dknightshade
Categories: Daniel Jackson, Jack O’Neill, Samantha Carter, apocafic, humor, angst, Jack and Daniel friendship
Warnings: none
Author's Website: Knightshade's Garden
Link to story: The Wrong Button

Why This Must Be Read: “Jack always suspected that one day Daniel would push the wrong button and the world would end.”

Of course, it’s which world that makes this story so fascinating…

What begins as fun and fluffy, with entertaining Wonder Twins geekery and fantastic Jack-and-Daniel banter, suddenly takes a ninety degree turn into horror when the wrong button gets pushed and Sam, Jack, and Daniel get to literally watch as a world is completely destroyed. There’s great characterization and wonderful dialogue, as Jack helps Daniel come to some kind of acceptance -- by reminding him of their shared history, and the triumphs and tragedies that inevitably result just from living.

Call this a sort of light apocafic, perhaps. But read it, and enjoy!

Title: Half-life

Warnings: None
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Tallulah Abridged
Link to story: Half-life
Why this should be read: In this peaceful, gently bantery post-series piece from Jack's point of view, Jack and Daniel are hanging out after a barbecue, Daniel translating the insults hurled by the kids tearing around the yard, Jack translating Daniel. (We don't know whose kids they are, just that they're there, the next generation, still full of energy as evening comes on, literally and, maybe, metaphorically.) A smile-inducing 1320-word meditation, rich with keen observations and character insights in a beautifully portrayed Jack headspace.

Missing scene for "The Ties that Bind." Jack takes the gang out to dinner while they're in DC.
