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!

Warnings: None

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.

Why this should be read: This is a fun team adventure, one of those 'it could have been an episode' fics. (Except with better writing, and possibly more livestock). Written for a ficathon, the request was: Teal'c meets an old friend.

Three Tau'ri and a Jaffa walk into a bar...

Link to story: No Respect for Normal Dimensions

Why this should be read: I've always loved the idea of a SG-1/Discworld crossover, if it's played for humor instead of crack.

This fic? Made. Of. Win.

The Luggage at its most recalcitrant cowed by Jack, Death and cats and his acquaintance with Daniel, Teal'c and the Eyebrow of Irony, Sam trying to explain quantum, of all things, to Death...

I repeat: made of win, and funny enough for even non-Discworld fans to enjoy. If you love pTerry? Go read this right now.

Title: Bad Pennies
Author's LJ/DWJ: troyswann
Categories: theme: crossovers, team, humor
Warnings: crossover with MacGuyver
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Outside the Box
Link to story: Bad Pennies

Why this should be read: This entertaining story is just plain fun, as MacGuyver and SG-1 cross paths in Central America, both trying to rescue the same jaguar from various bad guys. There's delightful MacGuyver POV as we see the team through his baffled eyes, a bomb made out of tissues and Daniel's antihistamines, the resemblance that everyone sees except Jack and MacGuyver... and the almost plaintive refrain of, "Seriously, what's a Tok'ra?"

A great romp with the team, with Ba'al thrown in for good measure. I defy you to read this without a big grin on your face.


It took me a few more seconds to light the fuse on the packet and to let the string burn to the right length. In that time, Daniel said to the cat, "Just hang on. We're going to get you out of here." The cat stared at him with an expression that communicated absolutely no confidence at all. Why I thought that, I couldn't tell you.

Title: Unfinished Business
Author's LJ/DWJ: tallulah_rasa
Categories: theme: crossovers, team, SGA, humor
Warnings: crossover with House and SGA
Author's Webpage/Fic list: To Explore the Universe and Eat Pie
Link to story: Unfinished Business

Why this should be read: I don't follow House or SGA, but this ficlet made me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Written by the always marvelous Tallulah Rasa, Unfinished Business plunges us into the middle of a recruiting session, as SG-1, Sheppard, and McKay try to convince House to join the SGC. The dialogue is fast and furious and insanely funny, including competing death counts, gunshot wounds, and personality quirks. By the time the dust settles, you'll be wiping tears from your eyes and regretting that Tallulah Rasa has titled this Unfinished Business because it's a snippet of a larger work that she feels she will never complete. But knowing that there could have been more of this delightful story doesn't take away from how very wonderfully it stands, as is, on its own!

Title: Been There, Done That
Author's LJ/DWJ: n/a
Categories: theme: crossovers, Jack, team, humor
Warnings: crossover with The Legendary Journeys
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Less Than Legendary Journeys
Link to story: Been There, Done That

Why this should be read: Marthe Wilson is mostly known in the Stargate fandom for her fabulous Retrograde AU, which is SGA-centric with added SG-1. But she has also written this hilarious crossover with The Legendary Journeys, which is fantastic teamy goodness and a shamelessly fun romp. Like all good crossovers, knowledge of the second fandom isn't really necessary (outside the vaguest familiarity with the legend of Hercules) as Jack accidentally intercepts the "blue swirly doorways" that apparently exist in The Legendary Journeys universe and drags Iolaus back through the Stargate's wormhole with him.

There's great banter, delightful characterization, seamless teamwork, multiple crises, and snark galore. And while the SGC doesn't often get mistaken for "troglodytes," this is one crossover that will leave you wanting more!

Why this should be read:

Because Daniel is Awesome and Romana is even more awesome. Because it's funny and still in character for everyone. It's very funny even if you don't have any more than a vague idea who the Doctor and Romana are. (They are time traveling aliensfrom Gallifrey who travel around the universe. That's all you need to know, seriously.)

Author's Webpage/Fic list: God, I wish she had a complete list with everything somewhere. I'd settle for just using the same name everywhere. Main places I've found are: FF.net (where she is Christina K), Stargatefan (where she is C.L. Kamnikar), her LJ (she has tags for fanfic and fic, not sure what the difference is), her defunct website can be found on the internet archive, and she seems to have a current website that requires a username and password to logon (chaos.horsechicks.com). She also has a Roswell fic and some Buffy fics which you have to scroll through other authors to find (and OMG the popups on that site). Or you can google her yourself; known names include Christina Kamnikar, Christina K, Chaos, the butterfly, Kiki, and Chris.

Why this should be read:

There are not words to describe how hysterically funny this fic is. Jack and Teal'c go golfing through the Stargate to let off steam during Window of Opportunity. This fic is funny and totally in character, and fits perfectly within that episode. You must read this, there are not words for how perfect it is.
