Valuable Vala recs, and others

It's been two weeks since the last rec. Time for another theme, I think!

We only had three fics recced for the valuable Vala theme:

Truth in Fiction, by Cleo the Muse (G)

Vala Alphabet Soup, by Various (PG-13)

Fair Play by penknife (PG)

However, we had several other fics recced during that time, including several by a new reccer,

seaboe_muffinchucker (welcome!):

A Common Virtue by Charlie Booker (PG)

This Nest of Sparrows by Charli Booker (PG)

For More Than Country by Regency (R)

Bonded by Tallulah Rasa (not rated by author; PG)

Half-Crazy by Teand (not rated by author; PG)

Thanks to Seaboe and

pipisafoat for their recs!

I'll be announcing a new theme shortly; suggestions are, as always, welcome. In the meantime, don't forget that any gen fic can be recced at any time, regardless of theme! And to the 'Murcans out there, hope you're having a happy Fourth. :)

Truth in Fiction, by Cleo the Muse (G)

Title: Truth in Fiction
Author's LJ/DW:

Categories: value of Vala, female friendship, humor, character study
Warnings: none
Author's Website: www.cleothemuse.net
Link to story: Truth in Fiction

Why this should be read: Vala discovers trashy romance novels on a shopping spree with Sam, and the two women share some unexpectedly serious reflections. Great fun, sparkling characterization, and an excellent read!

Vala Alphabet Soup, by Various (PG-13)

Title: Vala Alphabet Soup
Author's LJ/DWJ: n/a
Categories: valuable Vala, ep related, character study, friendship, humor, angst, drama, pre-series, post-series
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: n/a
Link to story: Vala Alphabet Soup

Why this should be read: It might be cheating a little to rec the Soup as a whole, especially since I organize the Soups and have actually written one of the fics. :) But here's a chance to read twenty-six great Vala fics at once, by 25 different authors! These are funny and painful and insightful and fluffy and thoughtful in turns, and you'll enjoy every last one of them. Don't forget to follow the links to the authors' individual journals and leave them feedback!

Fair Play by penknife (PG)

Title: Fair Play
Author's LJ/DWJ:

penknife
Categories: character: cameron mitchell, character: daniel jackson, character: samantha carter, character: teal'c, character: vala mal doran, era: season 9-10, friendship: teal'c and vala, humor, theme: awesome women, theme: teal'c friendship, theme: valuable vala
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: fic tag @ LJ
Link to story: Fair Play

Why this should be read: This is an excellent look at Vala's early time spent with SG-1, complete with not really fitting in, but even that pales in comparison to the sheer humor running rampant through this fic. Vala cheats. Teal'c lets her cheat. In fact, Teal'c encourages her to cheat and comes up with thieving plans of his own to cheer her up and invents the Tau'ri Right of Gel'a'tin. If anyone can bring out Teal'c's inner troublemaker, it's Vala.
