Why This Must Be Read: If a person unintentionally reopens a most grievous wound he has inflicted on another - one that he truly wishes he had never caused in the first place - with whom will your greater sympathies lie?

This powerful, poignant, painful drabble poses that question, and I still can't choose between Jack and Jonas. Read it and decide for yourself!

Major Carter knows he wanted a closer look at the mimic devices.

Why This Must Be Read: One of the most entertaining aspects of Jonas' character is that he is often even more clueless of Earth culture than Teal'c was back in S1. And when two rather drunken female techs from the Mountain start gossiping and flirting a little too shamelessly, poor Jonas isn't quite sure what to do!

Decidedly gen, despite the OCs' best efforts, and a very fun read. :)

Torn between the sudden dissociation from what he’d been thinking about, his plans for the evening, and trying to remember Cardell and Lewynski’s first names, Jonas found himself absentmindedly agreeing. To both the drinks and the “lonely around here on the weekends,” apparently.

Why This Must Be Read: Jonas wants to prove to Jack that he's learned his bitter lesson after what happened to Daniel. And what better way to prove it than be re-enacting the scenario on P7J-989...?

And yes, things with the Gamekeeper go about as well as they usually do.

Jack learns a lot about Jonas, Jonas learns a lot about himself, Daniel defies expectations (as expected), and the story is a thoughtful, satisfying read.

Why This Must Be Read: This charming, gentle story treats us to Jonas on his very first solo trip outside the Mountain. The imagery is rich and the characterization is perfect as Jonas enjoys cherry pie, his breath of freedom, and the delightful ordinariness of life on Earth.

Leaning back with his tea, he took stock: here he was, a truly astronomical distance from home, enjoying a peaceful breakfast among the inhabitants of another planet, on his day off work at a thrilling place of employment. Granted, he was still being tailed by his very own personal pair of airmen, and his commanding officer seemed to be waiting for him to screw up every few seconds, but all things considered, the life of Jonas Quinn was taking a turn for the better.

Why This Must Be Read: From Jack's first disastrous barbecue to Vala baking pie to Cam's mother's recipe, here are five delightful times when a member of SG-1 prepared food for the others. Fridayschild spans ten years and multiple team incarnations, and every one of these is a pleasure!

Why This Must Be Read: There is very little Jonas Quinn fic out there, and these five snapshots of time for Jonas is a real treat.

From his first painful efforts to make a place for himself on Earth to the last painful effort of trying to make a place for himself on Ori-occupied Langara, Nightspear treats us to his interactions with the team, with Hammond, with Daniel... and even with his own people, when he's changed enough that they also treat him as a stranger. Written with Nightspear's typical stellar characterization, and a final note of hope, Scientists, Slaves, and Soldiers is an excellent Five Things that you're sure to enjoy.

"Hi," Jonas said, smiling and hoping that openness would bridge the gap between him and the members of SG-1. "Can I ask you a question?"

"No," Teal'c said, and walked away.

Link: Five Things for Jonas and Hammond

Why This Must Be Read: Paian writes the most wonderful Five Things - I've recced many of them before. This pair of Five Things features Jonas Quinn and George Hammond: five times Jonas wanted to go home, and five things George did when he retired.

I very much like that Paian chose to archive these two together, for the sheer poignancy of the sharp contrast of what Jonas and Hammond face. Once Jonas walked away from Kelowna in Meridian, he never really had a home again; and in the bright and gentle future that Paian lovingly paints for George, he enjoys home in every sense of the word, in both his family and his choices.

Paian offers wincing angst with the first set and then alleviates it with sweet hope in the second. In both cases, you'll find yourself enjoying every word.

Why This Must Be Read: This is more an episode fix than episode related, I suppose. :)

I'm not a fan of S9-10, but I have a special place in my heart for fics that fix the travesty of the casual abandonment of Jonas and Langara to the Ori. In Aggravated Destruction of Property, Kalquessa treats us to a delightfully bemused Jonas, faced with a whirlwind of destructive tendencies and a killer smie: to wit, Vala. Because SG-1 doesn't leave its people behind... especially when people write such excellent stories to fix things when canon does!

Why This Must Be Read: "Meanwhile, we received word that five more planets have fallen to the Ori, including Hebridan and Langara. So far, we haven't heard anything from our allies on either world."

Whether or not you're a fan of Jonas Quinn (or Season Six, for that matter), a man who was a member of SG-1 for an entire year deserves more than a single throwaway line. I always love stories that fix this egregious omission by the show, and Beanpot's contribution is especially fun!

Jonas tracks two strangers from a bar, convinced by the woman's "Hello Kitty" barrettes that they're from Earth. He's quite proud of the tracking skills he learned from Jack and Teal'c - until, of course, he discovers that he's been neatly tracked himself. Exhausted from being on the run and longing for the sanctuary of Earth, he's ready to risk it all on the chance that maybe, just maybe, he can finally call someplace "home" again.

Great banter and characterization, and a lovely homecoming. After all, we don't leave our people behind, do we?

I'm your devoted Daniel reccer this month! Let's start with an absolute gem, shall we?

Rec Category: Daniel Jackson

Pairing: see below

Warnings: some language, spoilers through Season Six, one apocafic, spoilers for Moebius, AU major character deaths

Link: Please Hang Up and Try Again

Why This Must Be Read: This beautifully rendered story will unquestionably break your heart.

Abyssis gives us two times five telephone conversations Daniel never had: five because they never existed - each takes place in a different AU - and five that were left on his voice mail during the year that he was Ascended, but were subsequently erased before he ever heard them.

The erased voice mails are poignant and heartbreaking and wistful in turns, left by Sam, Jack, Jonas, and Janet, echoing events of Season Six until Sam finally erases them. And the AUs cover the gamut from hope to anguish and back again - the embittered, exhausted Daniel from Moebius, a Daniel on the run from Kinsey, a Daniel who finally achieves public recognition, a Daniel who loses his SG-1... and a Daniel who gets back Sha’re, which brings tears to my eyes every time.

You will be blown away by the sheer power of this fic and its scope of if-onlys and might-have-beens. Go and read this one right now.

Greetings! I'm pleased to rec the Gen category this month, starting with a rec I've been waiting for ages to make!

Author on LJ: minervacat

Author's Website: when the floods roll back

Link: Look to the Heavens and Number the Stars, parts one and two, and The Silent Language of the Star (a companion fic)

Why This Must Be Read: I read this fic – and later, its companion story – and they completely blew me away.

…That’s not enough? :)

Minervacat introduces us to a superbly-realized original character, Claire, who is recruited to the SGC by Jack at Daniel’s behest. Claire slowly takes over the staggeringly difficult task of cataloging the artifacts that accumulate over the years. With time, she befriends the characters we know and love – especially Janet, her main source of gossip, and Daniel, who never returns her books. Yet Minervacat cleverly evades the Mary-Sue trap for Claire; this original character remains quietly on the sidelines, interacting only enough to be a part of the story without interfering in the events as we know them, or knowing more than she should.

Covering some seven years of SG-1 history – including a fascinating side-trip into the AU of Moebius – these two fics are elegantly written, with just the right touches of humor and distress to make Claire amazingly real.

A librarian at the SGC, with all that entails. Both these stories are too wonderful to be missed!

(Reccer's note: The author posted the fic with a rating of R; when I asked her why, she said she didn't remember. :) Since there's nothing to warrant that rating, I'm reccing it here as PG-13.)

Why This Must Be Read: I'm not much of a fan of the last two seasons of SG-1; to date, I've only made a single post-S8 rec, and that one heavily featured Jack. But just to show that I can be fair about things, here are two fic snippets for the price of one, both featuring the Ori storyline and both wonderful snapshots of characterization and friendship.

The first is apocafic, featuring Landry – who I would actually like, onscreen, if he even vaguely resembled the guy in this snippet – and Walter. (Who doesn't love Walter?) It's bleak and beautiful and heart-wrenching, and it's a silent tribute to the characters we love.

And then there's the second, which picks up on a single throwaway line in S10 – "Langara fell" – and runs with it. Even non-S6 fans like me were frustrated and felt that Jonas deserved better than just a passing, unemotional remark from Sam. This snippet rectifies that in a beautifully satisfying and teamy moment.

If you like the newer seasons of SG-1, you'll love this. And if you don't care for it much, like me, try these snippets anyway. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
