RECS: SGA, 3 x Caldwell, 2 x Ford
*) Losing Time, by: friendshipper.
Gen, Caldwell, minor Becket | PG-13 | 2,457 wds.
Summary: "Critical Mass" tag
-- > I've recced a lot of friendshipper's stories already at stargateficrec, with reason. One of the things I love about her stories other her characterization is that they are so unsentimental.
This story sheds light onto Caldwell, a character who could be far more fleshed out than he actually is on the show. But it also illuminates the consequences of being captured in your own body, forced to work against your friends, your comrades, your country. Being made a Goa'uld is nothing but mind rape. Never does the story slide into angst for angst's sake though.
This story made it into my personal canon.
*) Empire, by: friendshipper.
Gen, Caldwell | G | 1,900 wds.
Summary: Caldwell's vistis his daughter.
-- > And another story by friendshipper. I love her Caldwell, and I love the daughter. Both have their faults, both have their good sides. In few words friendshipper manages to create well-rounded characters. And their relationship rings so very true.
More personal canon.
*) The Death of Hope, by: springwoof.
Gen, Caldwell and some Landry | PG | 2,010 wds.
Summary: During First Strike, Colonel Ellis and the Apollo make their first appearance. Did you ever wonder, like me, what ever happened to Colonel Caldwell and the Daedalus?
-- > I love the use of the quote here. Babylon 5 is still my all times favorite show. But even without this connection I love this story.
It's a wonderful character study. And it contains Landry, who is even rarer to find than Caldwell is.
*) Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, by: in_wintertime.
Gen, Aiden Ford with McKay | R | 2,990 words.
Summary: "He had never thought about running into McKay crouched over a dying Wraith, sweat smelling sour and enzyme-bitter."
-- > I've already recced this story over at stargateficrec here. I'd like to rec it again. It's a little gem. And besides featuring Ford, which in itself is rare enough, it features Ford & McKay friendship.
To quote myself: Very tersely written, sparse and intense this story shows a realistic might-have-been with great characterization of both Ford and McKay.
*) I Remember The Alamo (But I Don't Recall Who Won), by: minervacat.
Gen, Aiden Ford | R | 1,500 words.
Summary: they had swords and they had horses/i heard we had mighty guns.
-- > Oh, Ford. The show wasn't really fair to you, was it? Wonderful character study. Beautiful writing. Post-enzyme fic that doesn't get melodramatic. Stark and strong.
