This recs post passes the Bechdel Test.

Bite-size fic from the Sam Carter comment-a-thon:

Sam/Teal'c, early seasons, Full Frontal from shimmeringstar1. Dubiously SFW.

Cam/Sam, with some interesting lack of explanation, Vestry, from rolleson (host of the drabble-a-thon, props!). NSFW.

A little Jack/Daniel from the comment_fic community, from kristy841.

Some Sam and Daniel (with Sam/Jack in the background) plays on competitiveness really effectively. nandamai's A Little Friendly Whatever from carnivalofsquee.


Longer fic:

A brilliant project from Dira Sudis to write missing scenes from Stargate early seasons (she's rewatching) that pass the Bechdel Test. This is a fantastic idea, and her first moment is between Sam and Sha're during Children of the Gods. Sisters in Arms, worksafe, from dsudis.

[fangrrl moment with bonus rec: I have loved Dira's writing ever since I read With the Dying, a Moebius fic of glorious sadness, and Teal'c and Daniel friendship. And glory. And sadness.]

I am thrilled to further recommend a wonderful *Janet* story, S7, pre-Heroes (or absent Heroes, perhaps), in which Janet ends up out in the field with SG-1, surprised by the power dynamics and capabilities of people she's used to mending. It's truly wonderful. Adrenaline from BetaCandy.

[fangrrl rec moment number 2: BetaCandy also wrote the early season's stories Acid Worms, Assess This (speaking of Janet stories) and (I'm limiting myself to three, I swear!) Mostly Harmless ]

Okay, okay, you know what? MORE JANET. This is amazing truthiness, or something. Sex as truth, as only paian can make it (well, other people can too, obvs, but Komos has a gift, I feel.) Visibilium Omnium et Invisibilium is Janet/Jack, really honest and good people who take great comfort in one another dealing with the need for greater intimacy after loss. When each has failed at intimacy before, and the risk of failure is great. Janet and Jack established relationship of sorts, post-Meridian (season five). NSFW.

And nearly Janet! Well, it's Cassie. And season 8 or 9, which means that annerbhp introduces Cassie to Vala. It's wonderful. Surrogate, which is Cass growing up a little, but still just as snarky as any kid exposed to Jack ought to be. A really nice unexpected friendship.


So, just to prove that I'm not *just* about the wonderful secondary characters and brilliant friendships and less-than-common pairings in this fandom, I give you:

Jack/Daniel (oh, that connection.) Instantaneous Old Married Love. dragojustine's Inside the Defenses. It's a set of interrelated scenes. NSFW, (fade to black.)

And first person Daniel. Which means the curlycue thought processes that sometimes don't notice important things, and sometimes do notice, with laser beam focus. Speaking Jack from cplberen is a nice logical progression to relationship. NSFW.


I'll catch up on other fandoms in a bit. This'll do for now.
