Why this should be read: Plotty Jonas fic! Jonas comparing his new Langaran anti-Ori team to his old Tau'ri (and Jaffa) anti-Goa'uld team. Jonas being incredibly competent and unsure of his own competence. Plus a very nice appearance by Tomin.

Title: Walkabout
Categories: apocafic, stranded, Jack, character study
Warnings: none
Author on LJ/DW: cofax7
Author's Website: alchemy, mouldiwarps, and coprophagy/Cofax at AO3
Link: Walkabout on LJ/Walkabout at AO3 and mini-sequel

Why This Must Be Read: This is fabulously Jack, pared down to absolute essentials as he escapes Earth in the wake of Ori domination and Goa'uld occupation. Always moving, always searching, wary and skilled... and thinking that maybe, on the next planet, he can find a reason to hope.


Ingara follows PMW-957, and Walloon follows Ingara. It's like fishing, Jack decides as he hunches over a damp and fizzling fire a couple of klicks up the valley from the Stargate on Walloon. You can't really tell whether the fish is there, you can only cast the line out there and hope to get a strike. A good fisherman can tell where fish are likely to be, but you can't know for sure.

Title: Triptych

Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Mad Maudlin at Archive of Our Own
Link to story: Triptych

Why this should be read: I recommend this fic to anyone who has seen Moebius, it is a really well executed story showing three of the possible alternate realities that might have been created by the events in that episode. The dialogue and character voices are all wonderful which makes the whole time travel/AU theme seem even creepier. About 4,770 words.

Matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

Title: Those Days Of Sahara
Author's LJ/DWJ: synecdochic
Categories: apocofic, Sam and Cam friendship, drama
Warnings: character death, language
Author's Webpage/Fic list: venus in furs
Link to story: Those Days of Sahara

Why this should be read: After the Ori conquest the remaining members of sg-1 start a resistance movement. By the time of this story the rest of the team is not there (although their presence is still felt). Sam and Cam never give up - on either the future or their daily lives. Their stubborn insistence in continuing to try and put things right against absurd odds is perfectly in character, as is their mutual support and camaraderie.

It's a hopeful and beautifully written fic, with all the little details that make you believe that you are right there.

Written for the 2007 SG-1 Jubilee fic exchange: Thanksgiving with the Ori resistance.

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: Strange Celebrations

Categories: apocofic, team, drama, action
Warnings: violence, language
Author's Webpage/Fic list: Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis fiction by cofax.
Link to story: Strange Celebrations

Why this should be read: World building! Teamy goodness! Clever banter! Also great writing, action, plot, and SG-1 behaving like intelligent adults. This is one of my favorite stories, by one of my favorite authors. SG-1 as written by Cofax is in many ways the show I would have liked to see on my TV screen.

SG-1, some unpleasant weather, an alien city fifty-thousand lightyears from home, and a dozen or so uninvited Jaffa. Oh, and (maybe) an apocalypse.

Why this should be read: To quote the summary for this thoughtful fic: angst, apocafic, hope, zombies, donuts.

Teal'c, lone survivor on Earth, slowly, contemplatively makes his way to Area 51 for what he prays will be his ticket off-planet. You will be moved by his thoughts on the Tau'ri, the little metal box of keepsakes he carries, and the final memento he takes from Earth, to serve as its legacy in the stars.

Despite being apocafic, this is almost gentle, and perfectly Teal'c... and you'll finish reading it with a smile.

Why this should be read:

I can't tell you what fandom this crosses over with, because that would spoil it. Trust me, it's fun and well-written (as all of her stuff is). It's medium length and plotty, and well worth several re-reads. Go and enjoy.

Title: Faith in Life

Link to story: Faith in Life
Why this should be read: I'm fascinated by the episode Ripple Effect--so many alternate universes gone off in so many different directions! But I'm especially intrigued by the Black Team, who were willing to steal from another universe to save their own. This fic follows them back home, and proves that they're not entirely unlike "our" SG-1, despite the moral slippage of their last mission.

Title: Till Human Voices Wake Us

Why this should be read: I rarely enjoy apocafic, but this one grabbed me and didn't let go!

The Earth abruptly dies, taking half of SG-1 with it. Daniel and Teal'c, the shattered survivors, have to try and pick up the pieces. Teal'c wants revenge; Daniel wants survival, for himself, for Sha're, and for his adopted people on Abydos. But with no resources, no supplies, and no leads except a handful of addresses that Daniel remembers from debriefings about future missions, what chance do they have?

Disaster on Chulak makes things worse. Daniel is at the end of his rope when he gates to the last address he remembers from the debriefings: P3R-233. And suddenly, Daniel is facing the apocalypse. Again...

Here is Daniel and Teal'c friendship, AU upon AU, and the determination to never, ever give up.
