I barely had time for LJ or fandom in January, but I've still got something for a monthly roundup. My "to read" list got much longer and I owe feedback to a lot of you.
Fic I Recced
I recced the "gen" category over at
stargateficrec.
Face-Off by
surreallis [early team bonding over a hockey match against SG-3. Funny and heart-warming.]
Deflection by
ltlj [SGA - Sheppard gets pulled through a quantum mirror]
Mnemophobia by
tripoli8 [AU take on Daniel's descension - brilliant and intricate and wonderful]
Triptych by
mad_maudlin [how the time travel in "Moebius" affected those on Atlantis]
Fic I Wrote
For the 20 character meme:
Journey of a Thousand Years (Sam & Bra'tac) and A Still, Small Voice (Sara O'Neill, Sam, Cam, Daniel, Teal'c) Universal Gravitation - Sam/Jack/Daniel NC-17 (I still cannot believe I wrote this)
Fic I Loved This Month (so not a comprehensive list)
pepper_field wrote some wonderful ficlets including
these two about Daniel and Sha'uri's wedding and the team having statues made of them,
this one with Sam and a very brave Daniel and this amusing bit of
Sam/Jack.

some more Gram'ma Mitchell with great Sam and Cam and Teal'c and this brilliantly awesome
bit of Jonas and Vala post season 10.

Carthago Delenda Est a Sam/Jack (sortof) interlude to her "Broken Wings" series that explores the dynamic between them wonderfully. They're both so smart and know each other so well, and yet are so emotionally constipated and it says something about how far Jack hides, that it's Sam that finally makes them face the truth.
troyswann painted a masterpiece with words, giving us gorgeous S10 Sam and how far the team will go to not lose her in
In the Flesh and In the Clod.
Dark Moon, High Tide by
tafkarfanfic (recced
here) - a Pegasus B story asking what if Ba'al had gotten to Atlantis first. Lots of good here, but I really liked the Elizabeth.
The Infinite by
dsudis (recced
here) Early Jack and Daniel pondering the implications of alternate universes.
Play Dead by
nostalgia_lj (recced
here) Teal'c is surprised Daniel can sleep - what would he think of this peak into Jack's dreams?
On the Mortal Side by
tripoli8 (recced
here). AU - Daniel didn't die in "Meridian" and ended up captured by Ba'al instead of Jack. Jack/Daniel in the aftermath.
The Bright and Hollow Sky by
helens78 (recced
here). Five things that will break Cam in the end (gen and ship) and oh so good.
