Show: SG-1, The Sentinel
Rec Category: Jack O'Neill
Characters:Pairings: none
Categories: gen, AU, different first meeting, first person, part of a series
Warnings: canon-typical violence
Word Count: 3200 for this fic (19,000 for the series)
Author on DW: none found
Author's Website: AO3 Profile
Link: How Life Turns Out
Author's Summary:
An alternate universe where Jim and Blair meet shortly after Jim gets back from Peru and Blair gets back from an SG mission.
Why This Must Be Read:
A fun set of stories that are more Sentinel than SG-1, but a very different first meeting for Jim and Blair, aided by Jack and Daniel. Told in alternating, first person POV, it shows Jim and Blair's experiences before and after they meet, aided by the SGC.
There are four stories in the series; the first two include the SGC but the last two are pure Sentinel fic. But they are relatively short and a good story!

Stone & Sky

Just popping in to mention that the latest Rivers of London entry, Stone & Sky, features our talented young apprentice Abigail as a co-narrator, and she meets a very intriguing huntress while she's tagged along on a Scottish investigation. It's a very "ah, youth" kind of summer romance for sure, but I enjoyed Abigail's POV on it a great deal, not to mention the particular ways that it was tinged by their involvements in the demimonde!

Why This Must Be Read: An episode tag to 'Broken Ties', the story explores Ronon's reaction to having temporarily abandoned Atlantis and become a slave to the Wraith after going to join Tyre and his old team. It's very much hurt comfort, showing him grappling with what happened and feeling broken, and how his relationships with, in particular, Rodney, and John, help him through this. Rodney's his lover in this but without it being particularly romantic, and, at the end, it's left unclear what his relationship with John is, but to me it reads as comfort, and a healing of their friendship. It's beautifully written, with pain but also redemption, and gives us the feels that canon glossed over. Powerful.
