Why This Must Be Read: Look at that! I found a Redbyrd fic I hadn't recced yet! :)

I adore a good outside POV fic, and this one is just delightful: Jack's secretary at Homeworld Security, dealing with a general quite unlike any other.Toss in some interactions with Paul Davis (promoted!) and Daniel, sit back, and watch the reaction! At least this one made it past her first week...

You've clicked already, haven't you?


Another head popped into view. "Daniel," it said amiably, as though interrupting the head of the SGC were no big deal. "There’s a big honking void in the Great Pyramid of Giza."

Daniel shrugged. "Not my doing," he said. "Sorry. And hi, Jack."

Why This Must Be Read: When the Marine Corps grows suspicious of the alarming number of deaths ascribed to "deep space telemetry" in Cheyenne Mountain, JAG is sent in. Teal'c, Thor, and a strangely-familiar Tok'ra -- not to mention SG-1 in all its idiosyncratic glory -- was not what they were expecting!

Even if (like me) you've never seen a single episode of JAG, trust me -- witty snark and banter, wonderful outside perspective of the SGC, and sparkling characterization will leave you with a huge smile on your face.

Link: Five Promotions Paul Davis Never Got

Why This Must Be Read: Five fantastic what-ifs? for Paul Davis, in which he gets the promotion he so richly deserves in canon but doesn't. These are fantastic peeks at potential AUs, and while #3 is my absolute favorite for the "make her write this story right now" category, #4 is my personal canon for why poor Paul is still only a major after ten years - and it is perfectly him to willingly make that choice.

Paul Davis is a fan favorite who definitely deserves more love, and these five things are a wonderful contribution to the cause!


This year, they trusted him enough to promote him; but he wonders if he could have traded that for a shorter list in Hammond's hands if only he'd argued a little bit harder.
