Why This Must Be Read: Here is Daniel getting all thinky after seeing alternate realities, with first Sam and then the others adding in their own two cents. I love how they're all beautifully in character, with Teal'c (of course) getting the final zinger!

Why This Must Be Read: I am delighted to see that Kalquessa is archiving her fics on AO3! Here's a delightful little bit of Jack and Daniel snark to celebrate.

Trees and Jack off-world, just a little more... verbose than you might expect. And Daniel apparently speaks twenty-tree languages.


"So what you're telling me," Jack said slowly, "is that we now have a treaty...with some trees."

Why This Must Be Read: This is George in delicous General Hammond rocks! mode, dealing with each original member of SG-1 in turn - with grace, with wry humor, with just enough selective blindness, and with every ounce of class that makes him the best general the SGC ever had.


Dr. Jackson fell into step, and George started spinning the tale. The least he could do was look after his people--and sometimes that meant nothing more than this.

Why This Must Be Read: OW OW OW OW OW

...Yeah, that and wow sums up my feelings while I read this new and fresh contribution to the Shades of Grey totality of fic.

So many of us tend to focus on the splintering of friendships and the team in the wake of the lies and breach of trust in this episode. But what happens when you focus on the impact these events would have had on the SGC itself?

I don't necessarily agree with every characterization in this (I like Travell), but it is bleakly, realistically, superbly done.

Why This Must Be Read: Here's a wonderful exploration of Daniel's mission with SG-5, right before The Light begins. It would be just a fun romp with a slight mystery if we didn't know what was coming for poor SG-5. But at least we get to know them a little, and enjoy their interactions with Daniel, before... well, before.

Marzipan does a great job of bringing SG-5 to vivid life as a good, solid SG team. Daniel's dealings with them are spot-on. Well worth the read!

Wonderful Teal'c perspective, lots of lovely little touches, and an unfolding backstory all add up to a very good read. Go feed the new author in the hope we'll get more such fic!

Add competent supporting characters (SG-3!

Why This Must Be Read: Oldskool classic fic! So oldskool, in fact, that it contains two of the fanon tropes that usually have me hitting the back button with enthusiasm. Yet I read this long, satisfying story at a gulp, loving that this was canon and yet gave us such a fascinating alternate perspective!

I've always firmly believed that if anyone is working at the SGC, they are competent and the best of the best. Felger is the exception that proves the rule. So when Marzipan portrays Dr. Mackenzie, even in the midst of Legacy, as an intelligent, competent doctor...

Here is Mackenzie: professional, dedicated, genuinely doing his best. And here is Jack and Teal'c and Sam, driven to somehow cure Daniel through sheer mental effort. And here is Daniel: trapped in hallucinations, just aware enough to know his mind is disintegrating.

Everyone is wonderful here. Everyone. Settle down and read this one with enjoyment.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a Sam fic, mostly. But it's also team fic, and friendship fic, and Discworld fic. If you're not a Discworld fan, you'll enjoy this for the sheer crackiness of the team dealing with tiny blue men, mysterious sweepers, and canny old witches; but if you are a Discworld fan, you'll love Lu Tze talking to Sam and the Daniel following the dickering of Nanny with the Nac Mac Feegle and Lancre's stone circle doubling as a Stargate. Lots of fun, with some great Sam character study thrown in for good measure!

I love duct tape is my personal favorite line, but you'll be entertained throughout by Daniel's frustration, Wonder Twins commiseration, Hammond's unflappability, and Teal'c's own brand of deadpan snark. Teamy goodness in old skool style for the win!

"They are usually most argumentative," agreed Teal'c, blandly.

"Yeah," said Jacob, thoughtfully. "Usually."

Jacob... said Selmak, warningly – but she said it with such amusement that he wasn't fooled for a moment.

Looking down at Claire’s son, Kaatje’s grandson, he knew he couldn’t face another love, another loss. He made his voice harsh as he told Daniel there was no place in his life for him. That someone – someone else -- would care for him. About him.

And he left.

"Yes, sir," Siler says, because he never questions the Colonel's orders, even when being saddled with a ten year old Major Samantha Carter, who is all pigtails, freckles, and a toothy smile.
