Author's Summary:

The (probably) complete works in my Clone!Verse series, all in one convenient location.

Why This Must Be Read:

I couldn't resist rec'ing this form of Jack O'Neill. It's clone!Jack with a clone!Sam together, starting in high school and going through adulthood. There's even a fun crossover with Warehouse 13 in the middle.

The entire series of ficlets are fluffy and happy. A perfect read when you need a reason to smile and laugh.

I'm going to put my hopes into that 'ish' part of complete-ish because we all need new reasons to smile.

Why This Must Be Read: I'm rarely one to go in for porn-with-plot (When I drink water, I drink water; when I drink whiskey, I drink whiskey), but this fic has a great balance with the whump, angst, and threesome featuring excellent characterization. Told from Carter's POV, the fic features her, Teal'c, and Daniel taken prisoner while Jack has (we hope) escaped.

Teal'c's characterization especially is an absolute treat. It captures his personality well, at one point describing him, "He did everything with such tightly restrained, but visible passion".

Author’s summary: The thing is, he hadn’t really meant to say it. Not then. Not there. He hadn’t really ever even thought about it before, not in such specific terms. So, it’s as much of a shock to him as it is to anyone else.

or, Rodney's trying so hard and John just doesn't get it.

Why This Must Be Read: This is such a beautiful story—everyone who’s ever enjoyed a true love read should go for it! It shows us Rodney in a light far removed from his well-known and accepted behavior, revealing his most endearing sides: quiet, loving, cautious, thoughtful, and deeply romantic. You’ll suffer with him as he bears the pain of an oblivious John, who just can’t see the woods for the trees. But you’ll also witness the wonders that true love is capable of—and the happiness, and ultimately, the fulfillment it brings.

The way it’s written—in a kind of reverse 5+1 structure—feels like a countdown, ignition, and finally, lift-off for the rocket of love that is McShep

Why This Must Be Read: This romance is set in an Atlantis where clever programmers have created a virtual environment where people can hook up via avatars, and where Biro (Valerie) and Sheppard (Dec) have an enjoyable dom/sub relationship. Biro is a quirky and funny dominatrix, still her somewhat geeky, socially anxious self from canon, but able to use the VE in deliciously creative ways which Dec very much appreciates. The story's well structured with Valerie and Dec initially anonymous, then having to navigate Biro finding out Dec's RL identity and dealing with the consequences, including whether or not their relationship can work in the real world. There are some interesting explorations of self-image, with Sheppard's inner self way more geeky and uncool than his public persona. A fun read - hot as hell and remarkably charming.

Why This Must Be Read: This is short and touching - a gesture of comfort between Biro and Keller, after they've had to look after too many members of the expedition who didn't make it. It explores Jennifer's backstory a little, and links that to one of the less-explored parts of Atlantis. Lovely.

Author's Summary:

AU: Our dynamic shippy duo are stuck in a seemingly never-ending mission after Sam overreacts over something Jack did resulting in nearly 10 days of no personal contact... how are they going to survive??

Why This Must Be Read:

Just a fun ficlet where Jack is all "what did I do?" but needs Sam to help them out of their current dilemma.

It's part of Akamaimom's 'Tuesday Museday' (link in the fic) where she posts a weekly Sam/Jack pic so folk can write stories about it.

Link: Falling Back Into Metre, at AO3 (logged in only) or at her old LJ fic archive

Why This Must Be Read: Here's some oldskool fic to brighten your day!

In the wake of One False Step, various members of the SG-1 reach out to one another to make amends after their various dustups while under the influence of off-key singing plants. (That's an accurate description of the episode, but it sounds like the crackiest summary of the crackiest fanfic ever, doesn't it?) It's deft, wry, and perfectly in character - and a very satisfying coda to the episode.

The slow and steady beat of their understanding wove its way across the phone line, un-vocalized but not unheard, like the deep and vital tones of an alien world.

Link: Joint Mission to Aessuma (The One With the Shiny Rocks) on AO3. The podfic is here.

Why This Must Be Read: This is structured as a duplex mission report, with Teyla's careful, culturally appropriate and diplomatic prose interleaved with Vala's (italicised) frank and hilarious "tell it like it is" version. As the report unfolds, we hear what happened to the rest of their combined team, which is likely to provide blackmail material for a long time to come! Clever, and very funny. The podfic, read by cantarina and lunchee, is great fun, too.

Author’s summary: Rodney deals with survivors guilt. Tag for Grace Under Pressure.

Why This Must Be Read: The fic, already written in 2006 right after the episode Grace under Pressure, is so beautifully, so compassionately, and so full of love. It's heartwarming and wonderful, and it holds a beautiful balance between drama and lightheartedness—providing a heartbreaking overlap of Rodney’s childhood experiences with current events, making everything even more intense. It's an intriguing take on his character, his background and his development to the Rodney we know and love.
Mixing in a caring John and a tender and blossoming Mcshep relationship and you get a perfect fic I can't recommend enough.
