Why This Must Be Read: Daniel's framed picture of Sha're had to come from somewhere...

If not for our knowledge of what's coming, this little ficlet would merely be charming fluffiness. As it is, this is bittersweet, gentle, and makes you glad this opportunity didn't slip past before it was too late.

Why This Must Be Read: A haunting glimpse of a could-have-been AU in which post-Amaunet Sha're has her own methods of coping. Suggestions of Sam-Janet-Sha're friendship, a supporting (and aching) Daniel, and a Sha're with all the courage and determination she's always shown: this short and bittersweet ficlet is a real keeper!

Why this must be read: This was written at my request and ohhhh, it is so good. From the first hints of her rebellious intelligence in childhood to her rejection of Ra to her suffering as Amaunet's host, Smilebackwards does justice to this amazing woman's courage and character. Add some bittersweet glimpses of her marriage to Daniel, and you're left with a stellar five things that will leave you loving Sha're more than ever!

"Is that writing, Sha're?" her father asks, his voice hot and tumultuous, like a sandstorm. He steps closer to get a better view.

Sha're swipes the evidence away with her sandal. "Just pictures, Papa," she says.

Why This Must Be Read: A heartbreaking piece of angst: Daniel post-FIAD, caught between longing and dream and metaphor. His friends will always be there for him (even when they're really not), but Daniel's loneliness is powerfully, painfully real.

"Sha're!" he croaks, hoarse, somewhere deep down, somewhere inside him that is crystalline, crumbling.

Why This Must Be Read: Here's another AU in which Sha're makes it to Cimmeria, but with an extra twist: in this reality, the timing is just before Daniel makes his side trip to an alternate universe. Gairwyn and Kendra are there to help her when she emerges from the Hammer, and they offer sanctuary... but this Sha're isn't going to sit things out when she can destroy Apophis -- and save her husband, too!

Such wonderful strength from Sha're here: her courage, her daring, her sheer stubbornness to take her greatest nightmare and twist it to her own advantage. You'll be cheering for her every step of the way!

Why This Must Be Read: This gentle little ficlet offers Sha're's reflections on Daniel and the oddly-wet world he left for Abydos. There is sweetness here, made more poignant by what we know will be lost. But whether it's the dulled blades of his razor or the showers and baths that are no longer available, Sha're has the satisfaction of knowing that her Danyel chose her over all the luxuries of Earth.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a haunting glimpse of life on Abydos during the year of peace that Sha'uri and Daniel had before the Stargate reopened. I love Sha'uri's perspective here - her mischievousness, her thought processes, her cultural upbringing. There is love and humor and satisfaction... and the first trickling of unease, with that last line more ominous than Sha'uri or Daniel can ever know.

I adore stories set on Abydos, and this one is more evocative than most. It's the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning -- either way, it's well worth reading!

She learns to kiss with her whole mouth, like she's trying to swallow down his soul for safekeeping, and sometimes she sings the old songs into his ear.

500 recs! Whew! Thanks, fandom. :)

Why This Must Be Read: I should save this until I rec the Sha're category again, but this story is so fantastic I can't wait!

Instead of "THANKS. SEND MORE" the tissue box reads, "PLEASE. SEND HELP." - because Amaunet came through the Stargate looking for a host for Apophis, and took Daniel. Sha're joins the SGC, and the story twists and turns to reflect her cultural upbringing, her connections with her teammates, and the differences she brings to SG-1.

You will love every bit of this, and one certain chapter will break your heart. This is real, this is powerful, and this is good.

Reserve a good block of time for this, and go read it right now. You'll be very glad you did!

(Note: Tafkar rated this as PG; the PG-13 rating is my own. And there is one R-rated chapter that I did not read, because Tafkar generously added a PG-rated version for those who prefer it.)

Why This Must Be Read: This assorted five things list is a real treat, giving us glimpses of Daniel across a wide spectrum of time. Teenaged Daniel, Daniel on Abydos, Daniel during the series (wondertwins moment!), Daniel on Atlantis, Daniel post-series - all here, all good, and all so very right.

Poignant, amusing, heartbreaking, thought-provoking - you'll enjoy every one of these, and wish that Emily had written more of them.

On Abydos, Daniel had a father-in-law that meddled and gave him unwanted advice about his sex life, a brother-in-law that sometimes drank too much, passed out in their tent, and didn't bother to apologize in the morning, and a wife who stole the blankets.

Why This Must Be Read: Daniel has accomplished the mighty feat of bringing down Ra, the greatest of the System Lords.

And he's about to discover that being a husband is a lot more complicated. :)

I love Abydos stories. I adore Sha'uri. I'm pretty fond of Skaara, too. So is it any wonder that I find this ficlet to be an absolute delight?

Bonus! Pepper included two ficlets in a single entry, and the second one is an hilarious team fic that is sure to leave you snickering.

Skaara gave him a bright, approving grin, and took his arm. "Daniel God-Killer," he said, "My brother. You are a great hero, and a great scholar. On my world, you will learn to be a great husband."

Why This Must Be Read: Sweet, charming, and michievious, this ficlet offers us a fascinating snippet of life on Abydos. As lovely as it is to glimpse some cultural backstory, though, it's even more delightful to have a Sha're that is so perfectly in character, treating her clueless husband as a very human being!

Too short to excerpt - this is a quick, fun read. Enjoy this one for the satisfaction of knowing that Daniel surely had wonderful days on Abydos like this... and then join me in wishing for more Sha're stories from Emily!

Why This Must Be Read: Rigel captures the beauty and richness of Abydos in this haunting fic, as Sha'uri contemplates her Danyel and wonders if she can keep him tethered to the sands of reality.

I love stories that give us Sha're's culture and background, and Rigel paints a lush, lovely picture of her beliefs, her fears, and her determination. There are hints and portents of the future, aching imagery, her acceptance of Daniel's nature and her careful efforts to guide those instincts towards life and contentedness. Metaphorical and literal threads of sky and sand and water, all woven together for a story of beautiful, thoughtful melancholy.

Read Rigel's fic slowly, and with the care it deserves - and just try not to shiver, at the end.

Why This Must Be Read: This haunting, elegant fic, set within the final scenes of the movie, touches upon Daniel and Sha'uri determining their future, but is mostly about Sha'uri and Jack.

Abyssis' intelligent, intuitive version of Sha'uri is wise enough to sense the darkness that lingers around her new husband's friend, and she worries that he needs something to act as his anchor. There is lovely backstory, and dreamy culture-building, and the pain of a quiet full circle, as the gift that was given to assauge one death is returned to help share in the grief of another.

This story will break your heart. And then you'll want to read it all over again.

Why This Must Be Read: This excellent short story gives us an intense confrontation between two very determined women: Sha're and Vala.

Vala is startled when a strangely-familiar woman marches into her holding cell and demands that she release Daniel from the bracelet she slapped on his wrist in Avalon. There's attack and counter-attack, with Sha're standing her ground and Vala calling her on Amaunet. And in the end, Vala is forced to concede that she can't win this particular battle.

Stellar characterization and superb voices: Best Laid Plans is a great read that will have you cheering for Sha're - and pleased that Vala will probably get her consolation prize in the form of Cameron Mitchell. :)

Why This Must Be Read: I have been waiting for a long time for the opportunity to rec this delightful Abydos story! Set some time between the movie and COTG, this charming fic gives us beautiful snapshots into life on Abydos – the freedom from Ra’s tyranny that impoverished them for so long, the eagerness of the Abydon people to have Daniel teach them of their lost heritage, the humor of Daniel’s not-so-successful attempts to follow the culture’s traditions. It’s written with deftness and warmth and love, and it will make you fall in love with Abydos – and Daniel! – all over again.

Why This Must Be Read: This lovely ficlet includes the Sha’re that lives inside my head – practical and mischievous and content, confident in her marriage and her place in Daniel’s life. She’s sassy and funny, and she treats Daniel like a human being, not the savior of Abydos.

That’s an awful lot to pack into less than 350 words, but Tripoli manages it with style. This is a beautiful, wistful glimpse into Daniel and Sha’re’s life on Abydos; because, as Tripoli writes, “When it's four years later and you've got her dead body on the ground in front of you, you better have something that made it all worthwhile.”

Link: Five ways Sha're helped Daniel integrate into life on Abydos, without him realizing it

Why This Must Be Read: Full disclaimer: I specifically asked for this list of five things. The results were absolutely delightful!

In this five things, Emily highlights the inevitable struggles that Daniel undergoes in his acclimation to life on Abydos, and how Sha’re quietly smooths his path without him even realizing it. These range from the caring wife to the careful cook, from the narrow-eyed sister to the slightly exasperated diplomat. But most beautifully of all, there’s the Sha’re that lives in my brain, and that I wish Daniel could have loved for a little longer: Sha're can make him live outside of his own head like no one he ever met before. Later, it will be the thing he misses most about her.

Go, and read, and fall in love with this wonderful character all over again.

Why This Must Be Read: In Quiet Strength, Moonshayde does a fantastic job of letting us take a peek inside Sha’re’s head during the events of COTG. A clever twist explains the Sha’uri/Sha’re contradiction in names, as Sha’re leaves the “quiet strength” of her marriage behind in order to once again become Sha’uri, the fiery heroine who defied Ra. We see her memories of Daniel, her efforts to rouse the other prisoners to rebel, and her interactions with the woman abducted from Earth. And in the end, when she realizes that she is about to be overcome, she chooses a memory that will give her quiet strength in the internal, eternal struggle she will face against Amaunet.

Quiet Strength won first place in the 2007 Isis Awards. When you read it, you’ll understand why.

Link: If I Could Go On Sleeping

Why This Must Be Read: In the past, I recced a wonderfully feel-good story about Sha're surviving FIAD, and Daniel and Sha're getting their happily-ever-after ending. In this powerful fic, Sha're survives FIAD – and then she and Daniel discover that happily-ever-after isn't all that easy. And as the events surrounding Shifu play themselves out, and Sha're is denied her son through Oma's and Daniel's actions... well.

All this slowly unfolds as background to the actual story, which essentially retells Meridian with the inclusion of a rather estranged Sha're. While she and Daniel still love each other, there's also a great deal of strain between them. Sha're sees Oma as the being that stole her son, and now she wants to take her husband, too? And will Daniel's feelings of guilt, and reluctance to - as he sees it - betray Sha're yet again, force him to refuse Oma's offer, even if it means his final death?

Strongly written with beautifully rendered emotions and reactions, If I Could Go On Sleeping offers us a bleakly realistic picture of two people, scarred and confused, trying to find their way towards acceptance. There's wonderful support from the other members of the SGC – and, in particular, an amazing confrontation between Sha're and Teal'c that speaks of deep understanding. Great Jack moments, and Sam moments, and Janet moments… Add a terrific altercation between Sha're and Jonas Quinn, and a clearly warm friendship between Sha're and Sam and Janet, and a final line with parallels that will leave you gasping, and you've got a rewrite of Meridian that you'll remember for a long, long time.

Link to Story: The Day After

Why This Must Be Read: This creepily beautiful story takes place sometime in the middle of Daniel's ten-second/two-week vision that Sha're gives him in the moments before her death. Metaphor upon dreamscape upon nightmare, Danvers paints possible visions that Daniel might have experienced, all leading to the two things that mattered to Sha're most: finding her son, and forgiving Teal'c.

Like Daniel, we're not quite sure what's real and what isn't, but it's all riveting. There's team support, even if all Teal'c can manage is to send a message, "Tell Daniel Jackson…" There's dizzying flashes of Sha're in the most bizarre circumstances, including dressed as a 50's housewife or cooing over the Harcesis child with Daniel's dead mother. Most powerful, however, is Daniel's eventual acceptance of the real difference between Ammonet and Sha're, and what he himself might have been willing to do if his and Teal'c's roles had been reversed.

Forever In a Day was a confusing enough episode that I've seen many fanfic writers make the mistake of insisting that canon includes Daniel actually leaving the SGC while he mourned for Sha're's death. Danvers takes that confusion several steps further, and it's great fun to go along for the ride.

Link: Eurydice Ascending

Why This Must Be Read: Eurydice Ascending should be read by any Daniel fan who believes that, for once, the poor boy deserves a happy ending. Take the first five minutes of Forever In a Day, then make a sharp left turn into this story. Maybe Teal'c was armed with a zat instead of his staff weapon... the author never gives the specifics, but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that this amazing fic gives us the wonderful, fiery Sha're that Daniel fell in love with during the movie and allows her to fight for her freedom.

The story opens on the steps of the Cimmerian Stargate, as Ammonet breaks away from Daniel and Sam just in time to be transported, alone, into the Labyrinth. From there, the story splits into three threads: Sha're's struggle to reach the Hammer and kill Ammonet, Daniel and Sam's journey to get to the Labyrinth in time to help Sha're, and the deft stonewalling taking place at the SGC to give them enough time to accomplish their goals. It's so easy to visualize this story as a gripping two-part episode; and quite frankly, considering subsequent events, how much would the show's direction have to have changed to compensate for allowing Daniel to avoid this final tragedy?

There are so many things about this fic that I love. First and foremost, there's Sha're. I always felt that the show cheated us a little by not giving us a chance to meet the feisty, brave woman who dared to show Daniel the forbidden heiroglyphics and then inspired her brother and his friends to start the rebellion against Ra. Here, we do get a chance to meet that woman, as she fights against Ammonet's control with every means at her disposal, no matter how dangerous. The inner monologue between host and symbiote runs fast and furious, and you'll be cheering for her every step of the way.

The Daniel and Sam sections alternate between their points of view with good effect. Together with Gairwyn (one of my favorite semi-recurring characters), they make the trip to the Labyrinth in agonized worry about what might happen before they get there. There's plenty of angsting about what might happen afterwards - both the risk to Sam's career for her unsanctioned actions and how damaged Sha're might be from her experience - along with some nice references to Jolinar and wonderful teamy support.

The most entertaining aspect of the story is what's busy happening back at the SGC. It becomes clear from the beginning of the story that Sam and Daniel didn't have permission to take Sha're to the Hammer. With Colonel Kennedy of The Enemy Within infamy yapping at their heels, the entire staff of the SGC take matters into their own hands, delaying and obstructing Kennedy's efforts to get the trio back before their mission is completed. At first, the reader assumes that it's only Jack's work; but as the story continues to unfold, it's delightful to realize that everyone, from Makepeace sending his own man AWOL to the techies that deliberately crash the 'gate computers with a multi-player Doom II game, are rooting for Daniel, Sha're, and their happy ending.

By the time the story ends, we're treated to some great cameos from Kasuf and Katherine, Janet at her Napoleonic Warmonger best, and the wistful promise that subsequent storylines like Shifu could have just as easily played out with Sha're still at Daniel's side. This story is an "episode fix" in the true meaning of the term, and how I wish this was what really happened!
