Why This Must Be Read: Coming Back Home is one of my favorite feel-good stories for Stargate Atlantis or SG-1. It's utterly charming, warm and engrossing. This story has something for everyone, balancing tense emotional drama with delightfully light comedy. At its heart, this wonderful story by a talented first-time author is a study of the relationships on Atlantis and in the SGC, not just romantic but those of friends, coworkers, parent and child and superior to subordinate. The exquisitely written narrative focuses primarily on is the 'will they or won't they?' relationships of Laura Cadman and Evan Lorne and Sam Carter and Jack O'Neill. Here as in canon, the bonds of marriage, partnership and friendship are a source of strength, comfort, guidance and joy, and the author wisely allows the dramatic conflict to arise naturally from how these relationships overlap, intersect and change. The list of pairings seems enormous yet each utterly believable couple receives enough attention to make their fans happy and convey palpable chemistry. Coming Back Home won a 2008 Isis Award in a tough category so though I am biased as its beta, I think I can safely guarantee you'll love it too.

WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: I love this fic to tiny, tiny bits. It's Daniel, Vala, Cameron and Carolyn at the end of the world and surviving. In less than ideal circumstances. Vala's pov is dead on here, it feels like Vala, jumping from serious to light to introspective in a split second and flawlessly. Full of wonderful character moments this fic has one of my favourite Daniel/Vala confrontations about everything really. Plus there's a bonus character that shows up, which is awesome.

Rating/Warning(s): PG; none.
Genre: character study, romance.
WIP?: nope.

Why This Must Be Read: It's Cam/Carolyn and Six wrote it! One of my favourite ships that almost-kinda but never was. So close though. For two characters that had some small, lovely moments at the beginning of s9, but nothing ultimately came of them Six gives them a wonderful relationship that happens quietly and behind the scenes of the hubbaloo of the SGC. Carolyn is tough character to pin down because the fans were given so little of her, but on the flipside it allows us fic writers to explore her and here Six nails her imho. Cameron, as always, is full of charm and adorableness. As you read the fic you can't help but root for them. A worthy read.
