Why this should be read: Looking through my old bookmarks, I can't believe I never posted this here, because it is really one of my old favorites and I have re-read it quite a few times. Set post-Heroes, this is Cassie, raw from losing yet another person, not consoled by what anyone says. And this is Teal'c, not trying to console by words. And that's what helps.

Title: Evening Shadows

Categories: Sam and Daniel friendship, things that go *boom*, drama, action/adventure, hurt/comfort
Warnings: none
Author's Website: settiai.com
Link to Story: Evening Shadows

Why This Must Be Read: Because as much as I love the Wonder Twins...

And as delightful as it is to see Sam working out a scientific puzzle, or Daniel fitting bits and pieces together to find the answer...

Sometimes, it's just great fun to turn Sam and Daniel loose on the universe and watch things go boom. :)

When a planet's government betrays its treaty with the SGC and attacks the team, it's up to Sam and Daniel to use their fists and their weapons - and each other - to get safely back to the Stargate. There's whumping and shooting and banter galore, and it all adds up to an intense and satisfying read!

Warnings: major whump, some violence

Why this should be read:
Chance is a very satisfying action fic, that picks up just as an off-world mission goes horribly wrong. SG-1 is separated and outnumbered, but it's up to them to stop a fanatic group from taking control of the planet. We get to see awesome Sam, snarky Daniel, and some black-ops Jack. Also, their prophecies say that Teal'c is an angel of God.

Why this should be read:
No lost episodes theme would be complete without a rec for Travelling One. Enlightened acts as a sequel of sorts to the episode Prodigy, when SG-1 runs across the energy beings again on a different planet. This time, though, they're asking for help. Someone has trapped most of their kind to use them for power. SG-1 frees them, but runs into trouble when the remnants of that civilization that trapped them come looking for revenge. What results is an entertaining read all around, a rather unconventional (and ruthless) rescue, and a moral quandary à la Beast of Burden. But that's business as usual at the SGC.

Why this should be read:
Because dark!SG-1 makes my inner villain fangirl flail incoherently, and the quantum mirror means I can have that and our good!SG-1 at the same time. It really doesn't get much better than that. In Through A Glass Darkly, Apocrypha gives us a Daniel who's gone about a dark as you can get, a Jack who just doesn't care enough to intervene, and a United States military that's gone very, very wrong. And they're not going to let SG-1 leave alive. Faced with an enemy that looks like one of their own, SG-1 prove that their own bonds are their greatest strength as they escape this SGC. We've got resourceful!Sam, persuasive!Daniel, stoic!Teal'c, leader!Jack, and teamwork that impresses even this universe's Colonel O'Neill.

Why this should be read:
This is definitely one of my favourite descension AUs. In Steep Descent, Daniel returns from ascension in a body that still has radiation sickness. The SGC is at a loss until Shifu shows up, and reveals to Jack that Oma was perhaps not entirely honest with Daniel while he was ascended. The final resolution is, in my opinion, quite awesome, and the ending is very Jack. In between Jb weaves us a story of ascension and all that that implies, and gives us a glimpse of what it might have been like as an Ascended being. She also writes a very good Shifu.

Why this should be read: Call this Season 1, Episode 2.5. Random treats us to a fantastic lost episode in which Jack, Daniel, Sam, and Teal'c become team, with four individuals coming together to fuse into that wonderful entity known as SG-1. The story includes a literal gauntlet, fascinating challenges, an actual solution to a major contradiction between show canon and movie canon, and excellent shifting POVs throughout. Teamy goodness like this is an absolute joy!

Warnings: violence, torture, language

Why this should be read:
Anyone who has ever wondered what happened to Jonas after Langara fell to the Ori, or who thought he should have gotten more than that one line should love this fic. Vixys gives us a beautifully narrated story that follows Jonas's exile (again) from his people, and his long, slow struggle against Ori domination. The author brings back the powers he gaine from Nirrti at the end of season 6, to very cool effect, and brings Langara itself to life far more than the show ever did. Even if you aren't really a fan of Jonas, give this fic a try. It might change your mind.

Title: Fostering Relations

Warnings: mild language, violence

Link to story: Fostering Relations

Why this should be read: Kidfic with a little twist. While I really enjoy many of the standard tropes, it's also fun to read a fic that deconstructs some of them. Plus, this is a satisfying off world story with an emphasis on character relationships, including Janet and Bill Lee. The fic is set in season 7, between "Death Knell" and "Heroes" and deals with some of the repercussions from "Evolution". About 52,000 words.

A desert planet, a Fountain of Youth device, and SG-1; what could possibly go wrong?

Why this should be read: This story is one of the first I read in the fandom, and one of the most painful. Daniel Jackson is made into a killing machine. The story is told through Jack's eyes, and we see his pain as he tries to help Daniel deal with his. The horror as the magnitude of what Daniel did while under the influence of the device implanted in his brain is seen through Jack which I think makes the story even more effective. You feel Jack's hurt for Daniel and hurt even more.

Title: Control
Author's LJ/DWJ: mrwubbles

Warnings: Violence

Link to story: Control
Why this should be read: Yes, this is a work in progress and unfortunately I don't think it'll ever be finished. That being said, though, I believe this is one of the classics in fandom and should be read and savored. Daniel is rescued from a mission (one he was on without the rest of SG-1) in terrible shape. We learn what did/might have occurred throughout the fic and meanwhile we also watch Jack trying desperately to get through to Daniel and always believing the Daniel he knows will truly come back to them once again whole. It saddens me that this fic was never completed (because selfishly I want to find out what happens), but it doesn't keep me from re-reading it. Set aside plenty of time to read this and then plenty of time after to imagine your own continuation of the story.

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.

Why this should be read: This was one of the very first Stargate fics I ever read and it remains a personal favorite. In order to save Daniel's life, Jack has to do the one thing he really hates doing: he has to talk about his feelings. Well-written, spot-on Jack and Daniel with Sam, Teal'c, Janet and even a bit of Ferretti thrown in

Title: Under Fire
Author's LJ/DWJ: gunhilda
Categories: Sam, team, drama, hurt/comfort, theme: super sam
Warnings: language (Jack is in a bad mood); team whumping, especially Sam
Author's Webpage/Fic list: SG-1 Fanfiction by Strix varia
Link to story: Under Fire

Why This Must Be Read: Under Fire opens with a bang right in the middle of the story, as a dazed Sam recovers consciousness to confront an angry, harsh commanding officer who seems to keep demanding a lot more than she's capable of delivering. As the backstory is slowly filled in, together with the gaps in Sam's memory, the reader is left just as puzzled as Sam at Colonel O'Neill's hostile behavior. It seems very out-of-character for him... or is it? By the time SG-1 reaches the safety of the Stargate, Sam's self-doubts have multiplied exponentially, and she has stretched herself to the limits – and beyond.

It's got great characterization, teamy goodness, stubborn Sam and breathless drama. What more could you possibly need?

Title: With Great Power

Categories: Samantha Carter, team, drama, hurt/comfort, Sam and Jack friendship, Sam and Daniel friendship
Warnings: none
Author's Webpage/Fic list: My little bits of fiction
Link to story: With Great Power

Why this should be read: Amilyn gives us an excellent Sam story, as the team finds themselves trapped by Jaffa and are desperate to find any way of escape. The key turns out to be a part of Sam that she dreads using... and that just might take her somewhere, or to become someone, that she doesn't want to be.

Great Sam POV, impeccable teamwork, wonderful Sam and Daniel bonding, and a thoughtful look at Jolinar's legacy. You'll love the breathless scene in the Gateroom, and the final conversation between Jack and Sam, when he proves himself both a marvelous CO and a compassionate human being. With Great Power is a great Sam story and a fantastic team fic, so go read it right now!
