Hit my embarassment squick with the force of a thousand drones. Could not back out of this story fast enough. Those of you who got through it? Wow, you are better women than I.
Broken Wings Universe bysynecdochic
Deeply, deeply in love with this and still trying to get my head out of JD-Jack O'Neill space. Long, plotty, with incredible detail and great characterization. Jack was my favorite SG-1 character, and seeing him through the eyes of his clone JD is fascinating, and I loved watching how JD put a life together after walking away from the life the SGC had given him. Plus it has Cam, and I adore Cam; watching him deal with not bouncing completely back after the crash made my heart ache at times. I forgive him for having the most supportive family ever, because he so fucking needed it. So it's no wonder that having JD and Cam in a relationship really worked for me, and then we get to the action plot...
I really recommend this even if you're a slow reader like me. It'll take a while to get through, but the universe and game playing is so worth it.

This was the first of the SGA Big Bang stories, and I absolutely adored it. It's clever and fun, completely cracked out, yet the character emotions ring true. Plus once you get beyond the initial set-up--Rodney's been raised by whales, John is a black ops mage, Teyla's a rune mage, while Ronon a winged warrior--the authors do an excellent job of making the whole story incredibly creepy--the wraith act a bit like the goa'uld of SG-1, slipping inside of people and possessing them, but with the wraith, it goes even beyond death. ::shiver:: It's team!fic, with a side of gentle John/Rodney slash, and fab world building. Just awesome.
