Why this should be read: Teal'c launches a not-so-solo rescue mission and ends up changing his entire life because of the dual influence of Bra'tac and a young Jaffa girl. I just, I can't even articulate what it is I like about this story, because I like the whole thing too much. The fic totally embodies Teal'c, speaking quietly but saying volumes with its actions.

Why this should be read: I am on such a Jaffa (and Tok'ra) kick since... well, forever. This is just a little AU snippet with Rya'c and Bra'tac after Teal'c dies, and yet it captures everything in that Rya'c&Bra'tac&Teal'c dynamic that I love so much. Both the anger and the understanding, both Rya'c's youthful struggle for independence and Bra'tac's wisdom.

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.

Link to story: Balancing the Books
Why this should be read: Lovely look at Malek and his host, with an emphasis on his host, who we otherwise never hear. In this story the host (called Darin here) has to rescue himself, his unconscious symbiote, and Bra'tac who is a prisoner of the Goa'uld they were undercover at. There are several funny passages, and Bra'tac and Malek/Darin starts to become friends, and the latter gets their chance of repaying the debt they talk about in the episode "Allegiance".

Why this should be read: What happens after Ry'ac wakes up with his brand new primta after S1 Bloodlines? If you like fic about the consequences of events in episodes, this one is a beauty. The very young Ry'ac is believably childish and it was great to see him at that age when he wasn't unconscious or brainwashed. Also, Drey'auc and Bra'tac are awesome. About 2300 words.

Ry'ac learns some new things after receiving his primta--but is he taking them seriously enough?

Why this should be read: This charming little fic presents us with a new aspect of Teal'c's life, post-symbiote, when he discovers his first cavity.

Minnow lightly touches on each part of the story, yet gives a clear impression of a greater, more detailed scene just beneath the surface. There is lovely friendship with the team's reaction and support -- Sam's post-cavity filling offering, Jack's e-mail of support, and Daniel's inevitable diversion into etymology -- as well as Teal'c's discussion with Bra'tac on the subject of health and medicine. But most of all, there's the lovely insight into Teal'c's character, as he takes his cavity in stride and recognizes it for what it truly is: another step on the journey towards shaping the Jaffa into something far greater than the Goa'uld could have ever envisioned.

Bra'tac is Awesome! What more needs be said? And Teyla and Teal'c are also awesome, and Ronon is determined and cute.  Kids these days.
