Icarus' Stargate Fic Recs
Oct. 15th, 2005 02:43 pmUpdate to Icarus' Stargate Fic Recs. I've built up a huge backlog, so I'm just gonna drop them here and add the individuals review later. Because, um, it's been such a long time since I've read some of these that in many cases I don't remember the fic.
Arrom by Kylie Lee
Recently rec'd (sorry, I try to avoid that) but it's so rare that I enjoy Daniel/Jonas I have to mention it here. There's never a mystery where this story is aimed, the fun is in the journey.

Dare To Know by Otter
I'm starting to like Otter's fics more and more. Instead of unpredictable twists revealed at the last second, Otter is spreads the unpredictability across the entire story. You have no idea where it's headed but you know that you don't know. Yes. And I can see this reaction from Jack, I really can.

Eighteen body language clues, a caveman and an astronaut by Indelicate Dark
Damn. I don't remember this one. I'll get back to you with a review.
( Read more... )
Experiment by Gelasius
This is the story I wanted to write after I saw "Tin Man." Thank you, Galasius. Now I've no need because this is funny, sexy and perfect. Now where can I find more Galasius' stuff?
( Read more... )
First Contact by Jb
A Gen story where the custom of wearing clothes at all causes a great deal of consternation for the natives. But Daniel has a solution.
( Read more... )
Fucked by Unseen (yay! I know have the writer's name.)
I'm very impressed with this story. It is completely unexpected, uncliche, and fascinating. I find here in Stargate what I've found in the Harry Potter fandom: the characters taken outside canon without violating it, to explore issues the author wants to confront. While the author lists it as Non-Con it is in fact excellent Dubious Consent.
( Read more... )
Hands by Apocrypha (yay! found her name this time)
There's a quality to Stargate Gen fics. They seem to really take in the details, describe the scene, flesh it out the way you'd see it in original fiction. Here is a rare slash story that does the same.

Herculaneum by Pares
This has been rec'd elsewhere recently (I try to avoid that), but I agree with that recc'er -- it is startlingly refreshing to read a Jack/Daniel story that doesn't just brush off Jack's canon attraction to Sam (though Rick Anderson and Amanda Tapping have the most tepid chemistry I've seen in a long time). This made me go hunting for more Pares fic.

Is There An Honest Purpose? by Ellison Wonderland
This is one where, gosh, I don't remember this story at all and will have to read it again and get back to you with a real review.
( Read more... )
Kink by Amperage
Oh holy hell this is hot, and a little bit more than a PWP though really, any PWP worth its salt has a rich emotional background like this.
( Read more... )
One Good Reason by Pepe
I resisted this story for a while. The one sentence per line fanfic trick has always annoyed me and I generally want the setting described more than this. But when I finally gave the story a chance, I really liked watching the emotional barriers.
( Read more... )
Penny For You Thoughts by Xochiquetzl
Xochi wins a special award for the word "pseudopatience" which I demand be added to O.E.D. right now. The characterization and character voices here are perfect, though I qualify this rec slightly because the punctuation used to demonstrate the different characters' thoughts is distracting. But oh, how I love the aliens-made-them-telepathic cliche, and this is chipper and amusing.
( Read more... )
Somnambulist by C.L. Kamnikar
I've read this Gen fic many, many times. Daniel wanders the SGC halls in search coffeeeee....
( Read more... )
Syllepsis by Paian, aka Komos
Once again, Komos does the completely unexpected -- and what an astounding take on Sara. Really, I respect this woman.
( Read more... )
Sympathetic Magic by Destina
The problem with Destina's stories is that she is such a consistently excellent writer it's nearly impossible to recommend one story of hers over another. This one is parody, and both funny and warm with an unexpected twist.
( Read more... )
Teal’c’s Diary by kijo
Actually quite funny, though is it hypocritical of me to more impressed with fanfic-fanfic that fanfic written based on another fanfic? This is based on Anais' "Dr. Jackson's Diary" and most of the jokes don't make sense unless you read that first.
( Read more... )
Tendencies by Pares
Thank you! Finally someone else wondered why they didn't pad the ramp. In an alternate reality Daniel learns a little more than he expected about Jack.
( Read more... )
The Company You Keep by Sori
Another I remember, though I don't remember specifically what I liked about it, except that I'd never thought that of course the SGC would have these letters, written in case someone died. This is Daniel's and the circumstances surrounding it are woven throughout.
( Read more... )
The Times, They Are A Changin' by devra
Okay, this one I remember. I think we've all experienced this sort of "shrinkage" as a relationship takes over your life, and it is rather irritating and mysterious in a heart-warming way.
( Read more... )
Three A.M. by Dirty Diana
I have this marked as a qualified rec, but I no longer remember Why. Ah, now I do. It's a combination of PWP and fluff, a domestic sex scene I enjoyed except the word "slut" is so gay-queen it yanks me out of the story. The writing is okay, not great, but my standards for porn-writing are much lower.
( Read more... )
Time by Mandalee
Jack is both sneaky and brilliant in this fic, and he knows his team well: certainly well enough to get some much needed Daniel-time. The pacing is slow and Jack's inner dialogue rambles a bit, but if you have a kink for off-world sex, this was written for you.
( Read more... )
Touuch by Carron
Nope. Don't remember this one either. I'm skimming it now. Oh, fantastic Hammond, great snark from SG-9 - hooray! A fanfic writer who can handle OCs! Oh, oh, now I remember this. It wanders through a lot of unusual territory with a believable if surprising background on Jack in his time off. Jack and Daniel slowly come to their decision. Oh yes, I remember the sultry, romantic sex.
( Read more... )
Touched by Roslyn
Damn. I don't remember this out either. Not very helpful, am I? Just re-read it... oh yeaaah. A recently descended Daniel helps out an injured Jack. This one balances between slash and gen, and I think I'm going to float away on Jack's endorphins here.
( Read more... )
Used To It by Carolyn Claire
I have this down as a qualified rec. Darn. I feel like Daniel staring at his notes after being descended, with no clue what I meant. This story has Jack and Daniel stranded in paradise. But now that I've re-read it I don't recall why it was qualified, only that I enjoyed the nudity immensely. Maybe I didn't believe the scenario? Still, sex in front of the Stargate was awfully ballsy.

When In Rome by Cathy C.
A jealous Jack is an interested Jack, and oh, he is so very jealous here. But it doesn't mean anything. Of course not. Hmm. Like the Roman theme as well.
