Why This Must Be Read: The events of 48 Hours may have been instantaneous to Teal'c, but who knows what happens in a wormhole? In this fascinating crossover with Farscape, Teal'c spends those two days struggling to find the path to his own reality... and exploring some fascinating AUs at the same time. The whole thing is excellent reading, but the last two paragraphs are my favorite!

Reccer's note: Speaking as someone who only knows that Cam and Vala's actors had roles on Farscape, you can be safely assured that you can read this without any familiary with the fandom.

Why This Must Be Read: This one easily reads like an episode: an urgent offworld problem that requires an unorthodox solution, and the struggles of each individual member of the team to find a way to success, using whatever skills they possess to deal with their unexpected situations. Add Janet into the mix, and you've got a fascinating time travel story that perfectly suits SG-1.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a powerful, poignant exploration of Cassie's life, beginning on Hanka, through Janet's death, Jack's prolonged MIA status at the beginning of S7, and the initially-unwanted quest to get SG-1 safely back home from the far future in 1969. I love the way Ivorygates gives Cassie a different mindset and different perspectives, and the sheer hard work and challenges involved in getting the team back to the right time. Those missing loops of time are so intriguing, and this story treats us to a fascinating look at what might have been.

Why This Must Be Read: This fic is an utter delight, as Aces treats us to ten different times that SG-1 encountered (or almost encountered) a different incarnation of Doctor Who. The ficlets arc through all the seasons, and of course it's not linear -- after alll, there's time travel involved!

The excerpt below is from 1969 (both the ep and the year!), but these are all great fun. So go read and enjoy a romp through the years of SG-1!
