August Round-Up
Fic I Recced
I fell down on the job (SO should not have grabbed two categories) but the recs I managed:
In Het:
Ocean's Pull by havocthecat - The post-"Return II" fic that made me a complete believer in Jack O'Neill/Elizabeth Weir. Lovely characterization.
Biting the Bullet by ilemanja - A run through various canon AUs and various Jack O'Neills asking out various Sam Carters. Solid characterization that shows you how much is the same between galaxies.
If you're thinking of leaving (you're leaving at a very bad time) by pellucid - an AU where pellucid claims to have made "Heroes" even more angst-ridden, and an amazing play with Daniel/Janet and Janet dealing with how hard and changed Daniel becomes the last few seasons.
In Sam Carter:
Supervenient by gabolange - There can NEVER be enough fic about Sam and Jolinar and this one is a gut-punch of fabulousness.
Fly-By by zats_clear - Sam and Cam backstory for the win!
Fic I Wrote
Darkest Before Dawn | (PG-13) | 670 words | 8/5/08
Sam/Vala, finding companionship after "Road Not Taken" Written for Porn Battle VI
Sam's grandfather used to say people always told the truth at two a.m. - that in those darkest hours before dawn all we wanted was a connection with another human being, somebody else to know our story.
To Some Far-Off Moon | (NC-17) | 956 words | 8/5/08
Sam/Cam post-Ark of Truth - Written for Porn Battle VI
Cam must be able to tell she's starting to wonder if this is a good idea because he mutters, "I get beat up by metal spiders on steroids, least you could do is kiss it better."
Absolution | (NC-17) | 764 words | 8/5/08
Sam/Teal'c - Teal'c finds a way to help Sam cope during "Unending" - Written for Porn Battle VI
She thinks this isn't an Air Force-approved coping method, but no manual she ever read mentioned proper protocol for trapping your team on a space ship
Rosemary for Remembrance (the Paragon of Animals remix) | (PG-13) | 3662 words | 8/17/08
Teal'c/Shau'nac, Teal'c/Va'lar, Teal'c/Drey'auc, Teal'c/Ishta, Jack, Daniel, Sam, written for gateverse_remix
Daniel wondered for a minute if perhaps he wasn't the only lonely person on the team, remembered Teal'c too had left a world and family behind
Fic I read and loved (not a comprehensive list)
In Never a Dull Moment astrogirl2 let SG-1 run smack into Doctor Who (and Romana) and the result, with charging- rhinos and a slack-jawed Daniel, is a meshing of the two canons that works much too well.
pepper_field gave us a wonderful snipper of mother-hen Jack and hen-pecked Daniel in Amanuensis.
I've said before that I'm not sure exactly why synecdochic's "Broken Wings" universe hits me as hard as it does, but she did it again with Dial Tones that takes Jack's clone from how we see him at the end of "Fragile Balance" and shows us how he becomes the JD we meet in the first BW story. The careful steps along the way are believable in both their simplicity and their complexity - in this Jack working through who he was and who he is becoming.
Teal'c found a movie that's better than Star Wars and syxp wrote about it and I love her for it. But I won't give away the punch line.
Remember the sappy Sam/Daniel kidfic universe Pepper and I came up with? pepper_field did it again with Terrible Two and it's still my complete guilty pleasure.
An old fic by aurora_novarum - Daniel has a rather complicated life insurance policy in Insurance SNAFU - all the pesky details you don't want to deal with while saving the world.
And finally, an old "Moebius" fic by kres - Coda - the team is on the way to Jack's cabin and Daniel keeps half-remembering things he shouldn't be able to remember. Jack/Daniel (mostly in memory) but with a very teamy feel.
