Why This Must Be Read: Written for Whumpex 2025, this one was really fun to play around with the concept, what if Carter was turned into a Jaffa by Hathor? I got to explore a few of my Jaffa cultural headcanons and, of course, whump Carter.

Why This Must Be Read: This is such a fun fic written for the Kill Your Double Exchange featuring Carter and TBFTGOG!Carter. What if Carter had followed Daniel through the quantum mirror? The treatment of Carter as a familiar face vs Daniel as an unfamiliar face in canon is interesting.

Why This Must Be Read: Imagine, if you will, vampires in SG-1 science fiction style. This fic perfectly keeps with SG-1's tone and characterization for a vampire story. Carter dies. And wakes up. But she's different and has to deal with that. Carter, Janet, and Daniel especially shine in this story. There are also some Jack moments that are just perfect even though he has a smaller role.

Link fic: The Matchmaker
Link: podfic

Author’s summary: Nelan goes to see the Matchmaker.

Why This Must Be Read: I love stories with a sensitive, loving outsider POV on Rodney, and this one by the amazing lavvyan is one of the best. It’s beautifully written and an absolute joy to read. It starts like a fairy tale—neatly woven, with lovely, heartwarming world-building—and quickly adds the shadow of something horrible that has happened. You’ll get to see how Rodney has adapted, still being his unique, unmistakable self.

This story will get under your skin, break your heart a little, and make you feel deeply for Rodney, seen through the eyes of a wonderful, sweet OC. It’s an outstanding piece, and there's also an equally outstanding podfic by cookiemom6067 that adds beautifully to the experience.
I can promise you a heart-wrenching, deeply moving, yet joyful happy ending.
And one thing: make sure to have some tissues nearby. Trust me — you'll need them!

podfic by terialk of both parts here
Why This Must Be Read: Routines is a charming fic featuring Atlantis's AI subroutines and their relationship to Rodney, with John and Rodney's relationship implied. That fic is from the POV of the city's self-defence AI while Rodney's battling a catastrophic fault in an overloading naquadah generator. In the Missing Scene (co-authored with

temaris) we're in John's POV - his feelings and helplessness from outside the room, where Rodney's locked him out. The sentient AIs are interesting, and it all works out very satisfactorily.

Link: Identity Crisis [Fic and Podfic]

Author’s summary: Rodney, the wrong John, and the right John.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a short but powerful fic by busaikko that features Rodney, who's confronted by an alternate John and dealing with it in his endearing, bulldozing way. It’s a story full of subtle humor, but also brimming with raw emotion, conveyed through Rodney’s oh-so-familiar rants—and an ending that won’t let you go: quiet and bittersweet.

You get the fic along with a fantastic podfic from bessyboo that captures all the emotion and atmosphere in an exceptionally vivid way. So don’t miss out on this amazing, perfect double treat!

Why This Must Be Read: This is a classic, but it's never been reccd here and might be a bit overlooked as semivowel's fics are only on LJ. It's from John's POV as he finds himself increasingly attracted to Rodney after an AMTDI ceremony. There are adventures, and missions gone wrong, and through it all John pines and gives Rodney mixed messages and denies himself. But fear not, it all comes right in the end! A great read, and the podfic's also excellent.

Word Count: ~ 5000 this chapter
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: Graphic depictions of extreme sexual encounters between original characters. Angry Obi-Wan to the rescue.

Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: Obi-Wan goes to visit Bruck, who drops a bombshell on him.

And half a galaxy away, Dooku gets a comm message from someone he doesn’t expect.

Link: Five Times the Cleaning Lady Wondered (and One Time She Didn’t)

Author's Summary:

Mrs. Halvorsen was hired by the U.S. Air Force to clean a few houses around Colorado Springs.

The clients are quiet, rarely home, and oddly fond of glowing books, deep freezers with warning labels, and candles that look like they’re summoning something.

She doesn’t ask questions. But sometimes… she wonders.

Why This Must Be Read:

It's just a cute little fic with a lovely outside POV about some of our favorite SG-1 characters.
