EDIT: One got left off the list!

ACarlGeek's Bunny #4.
Sam assumed the tingling sensation throughout her body was an after effect of the unfamiliar energy weapon the blue-clad aliens had used on her, Daniel, and Anise. So much for a friendly encounter. Daniel had barely begun his "peaceful explorers" speech when one of the four slender creatures who had entered the room occupied by SG-1 had twittered a short statement that ended in something that had sounded uncomfortably similar to "goa'uld". The cornflower-skinned alien closest to Daniel had activated some sort of energy weapon which had caused Daniel to stiffen briefly before he slumped bonelessly to the floor.
Sam had barely managed to raise her P-90 and shout, "We're under fire!" into her radio before the same energy weapon had been turned on Anise and herself. She remembered nothing after that.

Hypothetical. She says it's a work in progress, but I'd say it's most satisfactorily complete. Cameron and Daniel friendship, post Ark of Truth.
Recs: Old Friends
I asked for links to old friends: stories that you love, that you keep coming back to reread over and over again. Here's the list:
tejas recced
Sparrow, by Travelling One. What if they'd never gone back to the planet in Fire and Water? What if Nem never let Daniel go? This story deals with the repercussions of Daniel being alone for years in Nem's underwater lab until something occurs to trigger the rest of his team's memories.
uniquinum recced
Under Fire by Strix Varia. Early classic team - Sam centered. It has a little bit of everything and such a beautiful Sam voice.
sg_fignewton recced
You Can't Always Get What You Want, by
betacandy. PG-13. It takes Moebius and fixes it, and even ties up the loose ends from an episode in S7 (hey, it's time travel, right?). Long and utterly satisfying!
sallymn recced
Mine Eyes Have Seen by
eve11, a spare, crystalline, harshly beautiful AU from Meridian, and yes, my favourite Stargate story of all I've read.
carlinjona (whose LJ name I just figured out, heh, since
redial_the_gate is doing Beneath the Surface this week) recced
True to Form by Jb. For me this is the ultimate SG1 HC Gen fic. It blew me away the first time I read it, and it is my standby, my comfort fic, the one I reach for when I want to wallow in the brilliance that is SG1.
petite_stars recced
In the Name of Science by Pho. After adding the coffee to the filter, he lifted the pot out of the sink, and promptly doubled over, the sudden pain in his stomach almost overwhelming. The glass shattered as the pot hit the floor, followed by the young archaeologist. His last conscious thought was that he knew how to translate the mystery text.
sg_wonderland recced
Hardwired by iiionly. Wonderful look at a newly descended Daniel and his struggles to fit into a life no longer his.
cat_77 recced
The Furlings' Gift Series by Amperage and Livengoo. The Furlings make Daniel a kid. He's never going to forgive them for it and, the way things are going, neither is his team. *g*
night_spear1287 recced
Heroes: the Story of the SGC by Purple Shrub. This "Heroes" fix delves into details that the episode didn't or couldn't cover more fully, including Sam's reaction to being accused of sleeping with her boss and the ethical implications of hiding scientific discoveries. It seems more realistic than the episode to me without losing any of the gravity.
suzannemarie recced
Bad Pennies by
troyswann. A MacGyver/SG-1 crossover that's joy.
pepper_field recced
Fragments, by
nomadicwriter.
He polled his brain for details of whatever mishap had put him back in the infirmary, and came up with a bigger blank than usual. PX-something, trees, a temple building, Carter babbling about energy signals... They could be mission memories, but they could equally well be SG-1's greatest hits. Nothing specific was swimming to the forefront.
thraesja recced
Slow Burn by
cleothemuse. Jack's POV on a mission that went south. PG-13. Jack and Daniel friendship, hurt/comfort.
"I thought I told you to get the hell out of here!"
He doesn't even try to look chagrined in the slightest. "Nooooo," he begins, dragging out the word in a way I know means I'm not going to like what's coming next. "Actually, you told me to get Sam and Teal'c to the Stargate. Which I did, then came back to get you."
samantilles recced
Extra Mile by Joag. I love good gen ep tags, and Joag is also one of the masters of Danny whumping, another genre favorite of mine. And when the two come together, well its just goodness all around.
Daniel heard the wonder in her voice when she next said, "General, you came through the Stargate for us," and Daniel knew then she had never figured out they were on Earth.
green_grrl recced Tallulah Rasa's
As Planned. I love a happy ending. :D
cleothemuse recced
Architects of Fate by Jmas. One of the first Stargate stories I ever read and STILL one of my favorites!
izhilzha recced
For God and Country, by Doc. Undoubtedly my favorite SG-1 fic, and I go back to reread it again and again despite the length! (This is a full novel, and worth the time.)
randomfreshink recced two stories:
Heracles Rising by Kikkimax/Roxie, which was the Winner 2004 Stargate Fan Awards: Best Gen Team Story, and is summed up as "Stranded on a wasted planet, SG-1 must rely on a race of nomadic space travelers for survival." But it's like a really good, long episode.
Choices Made by Elyse Dickenson, which has a good mystery, and odd aliens, and team, and is funny and scary and everything you want in a good story.
conn8d recced
Girls (and Jaffa) don't Fight Fair by
kalquessa. (Hilarious teamfic!)
acarlgeek recced Roxie's
Acquisition.
sg_betty recced
Like No One is Watching by Minxy. An unusual and creative team story from Daniel's point of view.
Recs: New Friends
Old friends are wonderful, without question, but isn't it nice to discover new shiny friends, too?
tejas recced
Cadeuces Circle, by
captain_tiv. On a supposedly peaceful planet, Daniel leads a group of scientists, with green military support (there to bond as a team and get some experience with scientific missions) to investigate a possible Ancient site. Before they can figure out the secret, Daniel is faced with being the only experienced fighter when their position is attacked by Jaffa sent by the Goa'uld who used to rule the planet.
cleothemuse recced
Ancient Legacy and its sequel
Ancient Power, both by Denny J. Who doesn't love a super-powered Daniel?
Shameless Self-promotion
I also asked for "shameless self-promotion" - that authors link to a story of their own that readers would enjoy, with a sentence or two from the fic to serve as a teaser. In a few cases, when the supplied teaser was a little too long, I cut it down here.
tejas linked to two stories:
Battle Cry. The team is caught in the middle of a civil war on a new planet and after being separated by the fighting, Daniel has to get a severely injured Jack back to the gate.
To this day I don't know how I did it. I used the last of the elastic bandages and our belts to wrap the sleeping bag as tightly around Jack's wound as possible. It was the only thing I could think of to keep from leaving a blood trail. We both stank of blood as it was, but after watching Teal'c and Jack track wounded enemies, I knew better than to leave an obvious trail. At the time, I'm always glad I know this stuff, but later, when I'm sitting safe at home, I find myself growing more and more alarmed at this new body of knowledge I'm acquiring.
Xeno-Stuff. It's from last year's "Daniel A to Z", I believe and I'm inordinately proud of it. Mostly because it makes me laugh.
I started getting a very bad feeling about what I couldn't remember. I've seen that twinkle in Janet's eyes. I don't trust it any farther than I can throw Teal'c.
"I have. I have? Janet, what aren't you telling me?" I felt pretty confident there's nothing terribly wrong with me. Janet wouldn't be teasing me if I was dying or purple or, wait. She would tease me if I was purple. I took a quick look at my hand. Okay normal color.
uniquinum linked to
Y is for Yield. My contribution to the Teal'c alphabet Soup.
Exploring with his teammates became not just a job, a way to defeat the false Gods or to rescue Sha're and Skarra, it was a joy. It proved to him that life prevailed and nothing could stamp down the purest things that life and the universe had to offer. They, like every other creature in the universe was deeply flawed and yet he was more than willing to overlook O'Neill's impatience and sarcastic nature, Daniel Jackson's innate mulishness and one track mindedness, and finally the belief Captain Carter carried that she somehow had something to prove that she would never be good enough, he was well aware that should any of them be anything other than what they truly are they may not have been as successful as they were.

Shopping Trip, rated PG. (Thanks,
delphia2000, for helping me fix the faulty HTML coding!) Jacob and Selmac take SG-1 on an off-world shopping trip with a stolen Goa'uld credit card.
Jack, Teal'c, Sam, and Daniel looked at one another. Silent communication passed rapidly between them, aided only by minute hand gestures - a few regulation Air Force ones, a few unique to SG-1, and at least two that were obscene.
sallymn linked to
her hilarious untitled ficlet.
"Colonel." That was Hammond, still in command, still trying to guide the most surreal briefing they'd had for... oh, at least three weeks, wasn't it? And as always trying to stop Jack from saying something they'd all regret in front of the alien VIPs. He never succeeded, but Jack had to give him points for trying.
carlinjona linked to
The Sun on the Horizon. It's novel sized, a proposed four book set of stories starting with Daniel kidnapped and tossed into a lovely web of intrigue. There's lots of HC, action, mythology given an SG twist, and many familiar faces mixed with new ones. Books one and two are done.
Dawn broke. Daniel tore his eyes from the living and stared, desperately, fervently, at the frozen image of a dead human, made a god by pretenders to that same title.
Eshmun stared out over the writhing sea of human bodies, sightless eyes encompassing far horizons and truths, buried in the passage of time. For a moment, Daniel felt the statue’s eyes upon him and the paths of two lost travellers inextricably merged into one.
petite_stars linked to her new fic,
Dislocate. Sam and Daniel friendship, with the whole team included. Deals with the tension between Sam and Daniel after Daniel descends.
The packet of chocolate cookies, hidden in her cupboard, were still within the use-by date, and she opened them up. She bit into one; they were Daniel’s favourite flavour, chocolate walnut. Or they used to be his favourite flavour, she wondered bitterly if that’d changed too since he’d descended.
sg_wonderland linked to her new fic,
Matchmaker, Matchmaker. A three-way conversation between Daniel, Jacob, and Selmac.
Instead of being angry, he laughs. "I’m not marrying Sam so you old manipulators-both of you-can have grandchildren."
cat_77 linked to Small Problems.
Live Journal Post about it, but it's actually hosted on
my page due to the size. It's extremely long and extremely gen and another kid fic, of a sort. Daniel and Sam are the most affected, Teal'c's a bit affected, and Jack's caught in the middle.
“You know,” Daniel said as he swung his feet back and forth beneath the table. “I don’t think I can touch the ground in this chair.”
“Well, you are small for your age,” Sam agreed dryly. She sat with her chin propped in one hand and the other fussing with the large hem of her shirt sleeve.

Translations and sequels. The "Daniel of Abydos" AU series assumes Daniel's parents opened the Stargate fifteen years ago and that he was born on Abydos. Apophis attacks his home when he's fourteen, the Abydos 'gate is buried, and he ends up stranded on Earth but determined to join the SGC's cause.
"Sir," Jack said, "I regret to inform you that Claire and Melburn Jackson were killed in the attack on Abydos. They are survived by their son, Daniel, who was kidnapped by the aliens, along with two of the native Abydons."
(Adding a personal note here: I adore this AU beyond reason. This is not kidfic, although kidfic fans will enjoy it, too. Go read this long and incredible series of stories right now.)

Need-To-Know (sequel to
Insider Info):
Sadly, they were interrupted before Jonas could get more details about the rest of SG-1. But after Jonas's first trip into space, he returned to find an anonymous printout in his locker. His immediate impulse - to say out loud, "What's this?", and to start reading - was curbed when he saw the names on the sheet. Glancing behind him to where the Colonel and Teal'c were changing, he swiftly folded the sheet and tucked it casually into his pocket.

Daniel's Desk. A pictorial random assortment of things that have spent time on Daniel's desk. Rated G. Angst and humour. Image heavy: dial-up readers are warned.
samantilles linked to her
Sacrifices, an episode tag to Season 7's Fallout.
“Dr. Jackson! Wait!” She stepped up her pace, determined to make Daniel listen. Daniel considered not stopping; his emotions were on the edge. A tap on his shoulder drained his determination to leave, and he quickly turned around to face First Minister Dreylock. “Dr. Jackson, surely what was said back there isn’t true! You’re not just going to give up?”

A Stitch in Time. A down-sized Daniel Jackson plus a furry blue alien named Stitch? Minnesota will never be the same.
Daniel Jackson at any size had never had any difficulty conveying a thousand words with a single look, and this one could have been Tolstoy's War and Peace, cover to cover. Especially the "war" part.
izhilzha linked to her
Interim Choices.
"Holy Hannah." Carter unclipped her flashlight and switched it on. Instead of disappearing under the bright beam, a film of darkness, of misty black, trickled over and around Jack's bare wrist and fingers. If it had sat still, it might have seemed like a stain of dirt or ashes. But it was in motion, sliding over his skin.
