Title: Close to Perfect
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Rating: PG
Category: Fluff
Pairing: Sam/Jack
Summary: If something was going to happen, it would happen soon. AU post-Moebius.
Notes: I've been feeling nostalgic lately, and reading a lot of Sam/Jack fic. I thought, "Hey, if I'm feeling nostalgic, maybe someone else is, too." So I dove into my WIP folder and found this nicely indulgent little thing, waiting for a decent ending.

Title: Keeping Secrets Doesn't Work if You Use Real Names
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Rating: PG
Category: Fluffy Angst
Pairing/Characters: Sam/Vala.
Summary: Vala's got a new hobby, but it could end up getting SG-1 in trouble.
Notes: Okay, so everyone and their mothers had vampires on the brain, and I have an entire AU in my head where the Goa'uld are literal, space-faring vampires. But then I realized that the story I really wanted to tell was a little different. So if you want the Vampiric Goa'uld AU, you're going to have to ask Vala instead. This is set before Don't Ask, Don't Tell bit the dust.

For Gen Fic Day, part of the Vala Alphabet Soup.

Well, thanks to mrspollifax, there is plenty of crackfic inspiration over here, which is where I got this title from. Imagine, if you will, a used bookstore, filled to the brim with romance novels. You find a little one with a tattered cover, much beloved, with a picture of a buff and manly man, wearing what looks like unbuttoned and disheveled army fatigues. He is accompanied by a small, grey alien with a knowing expression. The title reads

The Asgard's Search

You flip it over to read the back:

A Dire Threat Brings Two Souls Together from Across the Galaxy

Thor is long-lived, cerebral being who witnessed many of the great meetings between the Four Races and the downfall of the Ancients. Now only a shadow of his former, imposing physical self, he lives in the shadow of the Replicator War, desperate to find the key to stopping the machines once and for all. He is a being hunted by the knowledge that despite all his understanding of the universe, he might not find a solution in time to prevent the destruction of his race. Even more dire is the longing he feels for companionship, a longing he thought he had overcome millenia ago, newly reawakened by his discovery of one man, the human warrior Jack O'Neill.

Jack dreamed about someday reaching the stars, but never imagined that he could one day walk among them, or what terrors and excitement they would bring. After the loss of his son Charlie, he is thrust onto a galactic stage and must fight not only for his life, but the very fate of Earth itself. In time, he comes to peace with his son's death, but everything changes when he encounters the Asgard, a race of beings who have achieve near immortality through cloning, and their Supreme Commander, Thor. Thor challenges all of Jack's assumptions about life, the universe...and love.


Intrigued, you flip open the front cover.
