#sha’re au

[stargatedreamerr]

not sure if anyone is interested but my Sha’re au transcript rewrite is going well!!

Does anyone have tips for formatting on ao3? I’ve never posted a long fic on there and don’t quite understand how to not make it look like a single block of text…

[orion-kenobi]

i'm not someone who headcanons daniel as asexual but i believe in their beliefs

[tanadrin]

AU where sha’re survives rescue from the goa’uld and has to navigate living in suburban colorado springs with daniel, attending dinner parties and pta meetings and occasionally daydreaming about blowing up the annoying lady in line at starbucks with a staff weapon

Stargate rewatch: 1x21 Within the Serpent's Grasp

We’re back in tarp city, quite a circle back to the pilot.

Daniel sans glasses once again, urging the team to go through the gate to the address he got in the AU. Jack still doesn’t believe him and Sam is concerned about a court martial, but Teal’c is immediately on board.

“In the other reality by the time I left Sara was dead, Carter your whole family was dead, hell I was dead, everyone was dead.” Interesting that Daniel specifically mentions Sara here, I wonder if the Jack/Sara relationship was something they were considering revisiting at some point.

The first use (I think) of the black BDUs by the team.

Is Daniel wearing contacts? At least in the earlier scene he had his glasses hooked on his shirt. I realise I’m harping on this but there doesn’t seem to be any continuity to Daniel’s vision.

Story by James Crocker (his only Stargate credit), teleplay by Jonathan Glassner, directed by David Warry-Smith.

Our first use of the Zat’nik’tel - unpopular opinion maybe but I love the Zats, they become somewhat of a crutch as an all purpose stun gun rather than the “extreme pain” they’re introduced as inflicting, but that’s how it goes.

Jack, Daniel, and Sam being floored by the ship accelerating but not Teal’c is a nice touch.

It’s Ferretti! Confirmation that he took over from Kawalsky leading SG-2. I always liked Ferretti, it’s a shame he wasn’t more of a supporting/recurring character in the show. In fact I don’t think we see him again after this episode? He’s off to get into prosthetics on Andromeda.

Some continuity issues with what Teal’c knows about the Ha’tak vessels in this episode compared to later on - his knowledge/experience really is dictated by the episode requirements.

The Jaffa turn on the big ol’ silver ball of communication and Apophis dials in to introduce his son Klorel. It’s a bit of a retcon from the pilot but I discuss my headcanon explanation in that episode writeup.

Daniel shifting into rage mode at seeing Apophis.

Also lol at everyone in their beanies but Jack. RDA really said nope, caps only for O’Neill, no exceptions.

The discussion the team has about whether to try and capture Klorel/rescue Skarra is actually a nice mirror of the one they have in The Nox - Jack and Daniel, being emotionally invested, are keen to do it despite the risk and are quick with justifications (Jack - it would be a strategic advantage, Daniel - they could try and reach Skaara), Teal’c supports them with his own tactical logic, while Sam appropriately questions the plan and makes sure there’s a contingency.

It’s part of why they make such a good team - each of them bring a different skillset and pov to each situation, and they have the respect for each other to talk it through.

Sam and Daniel plant the C4, and apparently Daniel’s glasses were clipped to his shirt after all, because he takes them out and puts them in a vest pocket for some reason.

For Daniel's snark about "uploading a virus to the mothership" the previous episode, it's kind of lol that their solution ends up being just blowing up the mothership - uploading a virus in the form of explosives.

Jack and Teal’c actually nab Klorel pretty easily in the end - it’s holding onto him that’s the problem.

“He is my father. He seeded the queen mother. He chose the host in which I will live out eternity. Apophis gave me life.” I suppose we’re meant to assume Amaunet is the queen in question but I really wish they’d done more with the familial relationships - both of the Goa’uld and human sides.

Alexis Cruz gives a great performance as Klorel, really pushing Jack’s buttons.

After Jack shoots him with the Zat, Skaara calls for both Sha’re and Daniel 🥺

Skaara is able to maintain a degree of influence over Klorel even when he regains control - afteraffects of the zat, Skaara’s strength, or because Klorel is a young Goa’uld not yet experienced in controlling a host? Perhaps all three.

Klorel gets Daniel in the hold of the ribbon device (but of course!), and Jack has to make the agonising decision to shoot Skaara to save Daniel’s life.

I mean, if I had a nickel every time a member of SG-1 has to shoot one of Daniel’s family to stop the Goa’uld that possesses them from killing him with the ribbon device…

Maybe it’s not that weird it happened twice, since Jonathan Glassner also wrote Forever in a Day.

“O’Neill, you must take action!” Why doesn’t Teal’c take action? Someone run over there and tackle Klorel instead of standing around watching Daniel’s brain get fried!

But of course it has to be Jack - Jack who brushed by Daniel in the pilot to greet Skaara, but has grown closer to Daniel since he joined SG-1; they started out only united by a common goal (find Sha’re and Skaara) but have started to develop a real bond. It’s the emotional climax not only of the episode, but the whole season in forcing Jack to chose between the lives of his surrogate son and his comrade and friend.

Added to this is the trauma of Jack being forced to stop Skaara with a gun - Charlie died in part due to Jack’s negligence around his gun, but Jack actively had to shoot Skaara here and that’s heartbreaking.

A nice mirror to the end of the last episode, with our team staring down at the Stargate framed by the control room of the SGC, and now they're staring down at Earth framed by the Pel'Tak.

[obscureenthusiast]

you HAVE to post some of Sha're and Teal'c party time. I am on my knees. I have been robbed by the universe. Only you, the universe's insurance adjuster, can

YOOOOOO how did I just know you'd be in my inbox demanding Sha're content, you, the person I conned into watching Stargate with Sha're/Daniel content >:3

So, "Sha're and Teal'c Party Time" is a lil fic that I've been working on for a bit. It of course takes place in my as-yet-unpublished "Sha're Lives" AU, in which Forever in a Day ends with them capturing a heavily-injured Amuanet. The events that unfold from there are a full fic in their own right (in fact, it's one of the fics in my WIPs list), but long story short, they get the snake out of Sha're's head and the series proceeds more or less as usual except Sha're is living on Earth and her and Daniel get to be stupid and domestic and also Skaara shows up like WAY more because of course he's gotta visit his fuckin' sister.

But the MAIN premise of the "Sha're and Teal'c Party Time" fic is that it's the start of their friendship. Sha're is living in the SGC while she learns about Earth Stuff and gets her forged paperwork sorted out, and Daniel has to go home and start gaslighting his neighbors reminding his neighbors that he has a wife from Egypt who he's definitely totally mentioned and who is finally getting through the immigration system to come and live with him. Sha're wakes up from a nightmare and ends up running into Teal'c at 4am breakfast and then they start like... talking about stuff!

(Frankly, this is 100% about me pursuing my headcanon that Teal'c watches pro-wrestling and that Sha're would get into it via him... but it's also about becoming besties with a person who's done things that altered the course of your life forever and how to begin again when you're both brand new versions of yourself and also also it's about alien solidarity.)

Gonna put snippets below the cuuuuuut:

When she stepped into the mess, she had a book tucked under her arm and her hair pulled back from her face with one of the bright scarves Janet had gifted her. It wasn’t much, but the flower pattern set her apart even when she was wearing the same dark blue fatigues that so many SGC personnel wore. She half-heartedly grabbed herself a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of some type of fruit juice (she would have to inquire what a “cran-apple” was later, for the simple paper sign taped to the dispenser gave her no other clues and the mess staff at this early hour seemed too rushed and sleepless to bother with questions). As she turned to find a table, though, she stopped short. Teal’c stood in front of her, looking impassive as usual. If he was surprised to see Sha’re up this early, he wasn’t showing it in any way that she could spot.  “Good morning, Sha’re Jackson,” he said. Sha’re smiled a little, meeting his gaze cautiously. “Good morning, Teal’c.” For a moment they were both silent and Sha’re swallowed, glancing around the mess hall quickly, looking for a seat even as she tried to continue conversationally, “I’m sorry, I did not realize you took your morning meal this early.” “I generally do not. I am here for a hot tea,” Teal’c replied. “I apologize for disturbing you if your intent was to avoid me.” Sha’re blinked in surprise and turned her gaze back to Teal’c, frowning. “What? I…” she flushed slightly, shaking her head. “No, Teal’c, I wasn’t trying to avoid you. I… I couldn’t sleep.”

annnnnd a second one just because I know you're rabid:

She settled into a seat and cast a furtive glance toward where Teal’c was gathering his tea and turning to walk to her table. …Frankly, she feared that the past still sat as solidly as a wall between them. How does one begin again on friendly terms with the man who had, albeit under duress and servitude, delivered her to the fate that had kept her chained for two years? Sha’re closed her eyes momentarily, breathing in and back out again with carefully deep breaths, letting her lungs fill up completely and holding for a heartbeat before she slowly let the air back out again, trying to clear the anxiety from her mind. Janet had given her several methods to employ when she was feeling overwhelmed. She opened her eyes just as Teal’c settled into the chair across from her, his hands cupped around a steaming mug. He was looking at the book she’d brought with her, which she’d left sitting thoughtlessly on the table beside her plate. “The history of spaceflight,” Teal’c said, speaking the book’s subject flatly. His eyes glanced up to meet hers. “How are you enjoying it?” Sha’re shrugged, reaching out to slide the book closer to herself, idly picking at the edges of the pages. “It feels strange, I suppose,” she admitted. “When Daniel used to tell me of the technology of his world, it all seemed so… strange and powerful. How could it not be? They had killed Ra with their weapons.” She smiled wryly, shrugging again and looking at Teal’c. “And now when I read these descriptions, I can only see how small, how…” She squinted, trying to find the right word in English somewhere in her mind. “How lesser? Like these things are made of… flimsy things compared to what the Goa’uld have accomplished.”

maybe someday my brain will return from the war (the thousand projects and hobbies and responsibilities) and allow me to just. BLAST through a bunch of Sha're stuff for posting SPECIFICALLY for you <3

[romanakeysmash]

i love daniel and sha're and i think that they deserved to be stargate's Power Couple instead of putting snake in her head in the very first episode BUT

imagine an au where she dumps his ass after two weeks on abydos or so and now his options include

a) awkwardly spending the rest of his life on an alien planet in a close-knit community with the girl who just dumped him and her whole family

b) awkwardly returning to earth and having to explain that in fact he did not die in nuclear explosion

[leo-selfship]

So I might fic this later at some point but i don’t want to right now so Ill just talk about it instead, SO a big thanks to @a-sip-of-sunshine-tea​ for the encouragement!

So basically the short version of the story is that Ba’al and I meet in jail.

Peak romance.

But the long version is like this:

So, a but of backstory for my s/i before we get started talking about the plot of my main au for Stargate: SG-1.

My S/I, Leo, aka me, is a biologist who specialises in the study of parasites, and as a result occasionally travels with SG-1 through the gate and on missions, as her line of research focuses on the Goa’uld now that she was drafted onto the team.

So, this takes place around season three or four, but before Nirti gets in trouble with the other system lords, and well after Sha’re dies.

This is important because at this point in my canon, Daniel and I are engaged but still a ways off from the wedding (another story for another time, but I want to note that I’m poly)

Of course this gets borked when I get shot by a staff weapon on a mission and the others are forced to leave me behind, even though they had to drag poor Daniel through the gate kicking and screaming.

So, I wake up on a Goa’uld mothership and it’s Nirti’s and she’s trying to do the ‘torture me for information’ but my relationship with pain is Wack so I just keep asking her scientific inquiries between screaming. She’s also interested in the Naquidah implant I have in my arm I developed to blend in on motherships, etc, so they won’t necessarily Know that I’m not supposed to be there via Alien-Sense.

So she throws me in a cell and I look like shit but it’s whatever and, across the way from me, sitting on some very-out-of-place luxury furniture, is Ba’al, who got tossed in the naughty bin for not cooperating with Nirti’s ‘aggressive negotiations’ and so she’d in theory letting him stew for a while but thats a Mistake, because I fake a medical crisis and knock out the guard who comes to investigate, and when I let myself out of the Cell, Ba’als like “do you know how to fly a Goa’uld ship” and when I say know he’s like “I do.”

and at this point I know he has a symbiote but at that point it’s the least of my concerns so it’s like ‘sure’ And I lead the way with the staff weapon bc I’m not turning that over to a stranger in enemy territory, and he give’s me directions to the docking bay, where we make our escape.

There’s a lot of banter of course, and it’s flirty and funny and we’re both sarcastic asses about it, and once we’re in hyperspace and safe he promises to shower me with luxuries for aiding in his escape, loyalty is to be rewarded, etc, etc, Goa’uld speech #5, join me, blah blah blah.

Of course, in the back of his mind he knows I’m from earth because of my uniform and will try to woo and flirt information out of me once we get back.

But that doesn’t exactly go to plan because he tried taking us through a shortcut but it fucked up because of distortions in subspace and everything fucks up and we crash land.

And not only do we crash land, we crash land while I’m sending a subspace message back to the SGC letting them know I’m alive.

And on top of all that, it turns out we crashed because the planet/moon is an experimenting ground for time-dilation fields, so time on the surface is traveling much faster than everywhere else, and therefore a week outside is like three years on the surface.

Of course, we don’t know that.

I’ll finish this in a reblog some other time this is becoming a monster.

[stargnusxcarter]

For your three sentence fic AU idea, how about Daniel and Sha're at a bowling alley on Earth??

Aww such a sweet trope. Alright, gotta think about something. Oh dear. 3 sentences... God I'm hating myself right now for getting out of my comfort zone a bloody cannon ball 🤣🤣 ugh... Anyway... Okay. 3 sentences. Daniel and Sha're. Right. Fine. A bowling alley. With the team ? Nah. Just them. Oh, maybe with the kiddo ? Nah, too many troubles if he starts glowing like a bloody Christmas light. Okey. OH I GOT IT !! *remember 3 sentences*

"Soo, this is our first official date since you've joined us, and I thought maybe we could go to the bowling alley... Which you obviously know nothing about, right." Daniel muttered as he was pacing in the living room, trying to find the perfect idea.

37 minutes was the time it took Sha're to convince him a bowling alley was a good start to discover Earth's traditions in terms of "dating", then it happened quickly, finding the place, driving there and explaining her the basics on the road.

"I like this game." She whispered in his ear when she shot her 5th strike under Daniel's incredulous look, who felt his heart melt when he saw her beaming smile.

[starrybouquet]

Ma'am pls I need to know about that sg1/pjo thing you so casually mentioned.. like you cant just drop that on us with no explanation >:/

thank you @spacey-iris for waiting so long for this answer!!! And, here we go...

OMG OKAY HEAR ME OUT BECAUSE THIS IS MY FAVORITE FANDOM IDEA I HAVEN'T SPEWED ON THIS BLOG YET

Full disclosure: in middle school I was Percy Jackson OBSESSED. Writing this post is bringing back memories...ahhh, the good old days before Blood of Olympus came out and I swore off HOO forever...

Going through it carefully, I seriously wonder if Rick Riordan was watching Stargate when he started creating this world. It's no wonder I love Stargate now.

Jack O'Neill = Percy Jackson

I mean, c'mon! It couldn't be more perfect! Both of them are smartasses, have decided it's their life work to act dumb even though they're actually smart as hell. Both of them have ADHD and are VERY fidgety. Jack's a lot more tragic than Percy, because he's fifty instead of sixteen. But they act exactly the same, are loyal to a fault, and wayyyyy too humble. Not to mention they both fall in love with blonde geniuses who laugh at their stupid jokes and are driven NUTS by their dumb acts! Totally the same person.

Sam Carter = Annabeth Chase

I mentioned this already a little. But again, could they be more similar?! Both geniuses who are unafraid to show their smarts. Badass in a fight, and ALSO the person who will draw up a plan to save the world. Both have slightly inept fathers and absent mothers. Both are a little confused when it comes to love, and both of them are tomboys. Plus, they look similar? Like, Annabeth could literally be a teenage Sam Carter? Okay. I'm done.

Daniel + Teal'c = Grover + Tyson

This part isn't quite as perfect, but the combination of Daniel and Teal'c still manages to give off the exact same effect as Grover and Tyson? Daniel's got Grover's clumsiness, Grover's penchant for trouble, but Tyson's innocence. Teal'c has Grover's wisdom and the whole "outsider" perspective Grover and/or Tyson often bring, but he also has Tyson's giant-strongman thing going for him. They both love food in the same way Grover and Tyson love food (okay, now I want a fic where Teal'c tries to eat Louis XVI furniture).

Janet = Thalia

You KNOW I'm right. Same no-nonsense attitude, same attitude towards Jack/Percy. Annabeth and Thalia are besties, Janet and Sam are besties. Okay, Thalia is taller. But with her ability to command the infirmary, Ms. Napoleonic Power Monger could totally pass for a child of Zeus, right?

Hammond = Chiron

I think this one is obvious? Very tired mentors/grandpas who never, never get any time off and have to deal with the fallout of ALL the shenanigans. At least Hammond isn't stuck in a wheelchair outside of the SGC.

Miscellaneous thoughts

does that make...Frank Cromwell...Luke Castellan??

I NOW WANT TO MEET JACK'S MOM MORE THAN EVER IT IS A CRIME WE NEVER GOT TO MEET HIS FAMILY

OH MY GOD IS JUNIPER SHA'RE THAT IS HEARTBREAKING

clarisse is totally maybourne

oh my god walter and siler are connor and travis stoll

Chain Reaction = that early part of Sea of Monsters where Chiron is gone and the camp is just NUTS

who from SG-1 is Zoe Nightshade? idk

Percy is about the right age to be Jack's kid. Oh my god Percy could be Charlie.

Does that make Sara equivalent to Rachel?!

Pete just doesn't exist. Because I don't think Annabeth ever dates anyone else? I like this reality

FUCK SILENA IS MAKEPEACE

Bekendorf (i know i am spelling his name incorrectly, i have not cracked the spines on these books for at least five years, cut me some slack) but anyway he could be...someone who dies...hmm...oh i know! kawalsky!

And - quite obviously - there's a lot of personal parallels for me here too. I absolutely HATED how HOO took advantage of the original characters, and then made fun of them/destroyed their characterization (ahem, ANNABETH). I know lots of people loved HOO more, but for me the last two books especially ruined the characters. Not to mention they kept dangling Percy and Annabeth in front of our noses and then made us read about people who were not them. Funnily enough, 5 PJO books + 5 HOO books = 10 books total! Guess what has 10 seasons? That's right, SG-1! And guess what I refuse to acknowledge the last two seasons of, because said seasons destroyed characterization? Oh look, it's Stargate SG-1!

Speaking of that - if I'm running with the parallel then Landry could be Coach Hedge. And Mitchell can be Fucking Jason Grace--huh, that works well. And I think Vala can be Leo - aka the only one I liked of the new characters! :D

GUYS I NEED TO REREAD THIS NOW

I NEED TO WRITE SAM AND JACK'S KID READING PERCY JACKSON

SELF-INDULGENT PERCY JACKSON AU TIME

[dramatispcrsonae]

there’s a whole au version of sg1 in my head in which the writers didn’t fuck over sha’re in the dumbest way imaginable and it’s.... *chef’s kiss*

[stargatedreamerr]

poll time ! please help me decide something for my fanfic :)

So, I'm trying to decide which episodes I feature in my Sha're is Daniel rewrite, but I really can't decide if I just do the episodes that only feature Sha're in canon, or if I do additional episodes too?

for reference, i only wanted to do episodes like children of the gods, secrets, forever in a day, maternal instinct, meridian and fallen that feature Sha're. Meridian and Fallen feature ascension which is something I wanted to do with my fic too...

other episodes i was thinking of include the s1 finale/s2 opener, abyss, the changeling, threads and pretense (for the trial of Skaara/Klorel)

[incomingalbatross]

“what if Teal’c shot Apophis in the pilot “ au, Tangled as Fairy Tale, and There's No Place Like Home? (If three is ok)

Ah, the Stargate ones, thank you!

“what if Teal’c shot Apophis in the pilot”--so this is my own take on a self-indulgent time travel AU. The idea is that SG-1 gets their consciousnesses sent back in time from somewhere around S10 to the first time each of them stepped through Earth’s Gate (because the travel mechanism is linked to Gate travel somehow), BUT they don’t get their conscious memories, just their S10 instincts/attachments/personalities.

And so then Apophis steps through in the pilot, looking to abduct some women, and Teal’c steps into the chappa’ai after him... but the Teal’c who comes out is psychologically/emotionally S10 Teal’c, not Apophis’s First Prime. 

And if S10 Teal’c saw Apophis in the SGC Gateroom, he would simply shoot Apophis in the face until he was dead.

So he does that, instinctively, then fights with the other Jaffa a bit, and then General Hammond and his troops come bursting in and the other Jaffa flee and Teal’c surrenders? I think? And then Jack gets called in like canon... except this is S10 Jack and Daniel gets called in too, because they went through this the first time they went to Abydos and I feel like S10 Daniel wouldn’t decide to marry Sha’re and leave Earth forever. And then they and Teal’c instinctively recognize each other, and General Hammond, and everyone tries to hash out together what the hec the Stargate did to their brains. (And Sam gets called in and there’s a lot of one-sided recognition until she gets to go through the Gate, at which point she’s like “oh THIS is what you were talking about. WEIRD. OKAY” and tries to science the problem with aninside perspective.) But no matter what, Apophis is dead and Abydos never gets raided, so that’s a good start on a better timeline.

There’s very little of this actually written, but I did write Teal’c shooting Apophis, which was cathartic:

Teal’c of Chulak, Jaffa warrior, looks around this gray place. Somehow, it feels…it feels familiar, as if were welcoming him. Everything about it says to him, somehow, that this is a place of refuge, of protection, of freedom. This place is sacred to the protection of the innocent.

(…)

And then Apophis steps out of the chappa’ai, golden faceplate folding back until the cruel, bored, disdainful face is exposed. “Jaffa! Kree!” he demands, throwing in the unnatural boom of a Goa’uld voice…

And Teal’c finds his mind and heart on fire with revulsion and rejection that this creature, this thing, should be here. The sight of Apophis standing in this chamber, trespassing in a place of safety with his foulness, come to threaten the lives and liberty of the people to whom it belongs… It is unconscionable.

Teal’c finds himself ablaze with instincts he had not felt since childhood—and, in the place of his suddenly-vanished comrade Despair, he finds resolve and certainty.

Without a second thought, every part of him for once in total harmony, he lifts his staff and fires in Apophis’s stolen face—once, and again, and again, until there is only a smoking void within the golden helmet and no possibility of escape for the accursed snake.

There’s No Place Like Home--oddly enough, not an in-story Oz reference in the whole fic! Jack would be disappointed in me.

This is my SG-1/Atlantis AU that mostly lives in my head, but which I am very attached to—in this timeline, Daniel killed Anubis at the end of S6, and they beat the Replicators for good at the start of S8, which means Daniel was actually free to join the Atlantis expedition! So yes. Daniel-in-Atlantis-S1 AU.

This is set after their version of the ep “Home” (the one where aliens trick them into believing they’ve Gated back to Earth), and... well, here:

[Daniel] paused, hands gripping the railing, his head now tilted down to stare into the dark water. "I think I saw through it quicker than anyone, Teyla,” he confessed quietly, “except maybe John.”

She frowned. "But you were the last to come out of your simulation.”

He gave a dark huff of laughter. "Yeah," he agreed. “But I might have been the first to realize things weren’t what they seemed. I—the SGC is—it's my home, Teyla. I know it better than any of the others, and I know the people there. They…they could palm off a fake Hammond and Walter and all the rest on the others—but they couldn't palm off fake versions of my team, my family, on me, any more than they could avoid showing them to me." A genuinely amused, though small, smile appeared then, and he actually met her eyes for a moment. "And Jack's…pretty hard to imitate, if you don't know him well."

An open Daniel was a rare thing, and Teyla was hesitant to push further. But she felt he had not yet explained what he needed to.

"So why did you not leave the dream immediately, then?" she prompted him.

He smiled again—but now the pain had returned to the expression, making it darker than the starlit night around them.

"Teyla," he said quietly, "I spent the last seven years—give or take—hating and fighting against monsters that can crawl inside human beings and possess our bodies like their own. I lost my wife to one of them, and I knew there were still some out there fighting Earth when I left." He took in a deep breath. "When I realized Jack wasn't Jack…let's just say 'it's all a dream' wasn't the first explanation that came to mind."

And then Daniel has a bit of a late-night breakdown over being a galaxy away from home and Teyla helps him talk through it. Good times.

Stargate AU: Sam stays as leader of SG-1. Cam is put on the team under Sam’s command and has Stargate training. He’s a captain or a major. Daniel goes off to Atlantis and Jonas takes his place on SG-1.

Maybe I would have liked Vala if she had been written differently. For starters if she hadn’t sexually assaulted Daniel. 

Vala leaving Hammond and several Stargate personnel on board a spaceship with failing life support wouldn’t have bothered me so much if the writers didn’t later put her on SG-1. Either what she did to them shouldn’t have been that bad or it should have been a bigger part of her story. It feels like it was never really addressed properly. 

Her telling the truth to Daniel (or whoever is in his place in his AU) about there being people in danger also would have been better. It could have been like when John was kidnapped to fix a spaceship because a race of space faring people needed it.

Teal’c should have had more screen time. Possibly an unpopular opinion but I would have liked to see more of the council meetings between the Jaffa.  Not strictly Teal’c related but that the woman Jaffa council member had to have been brainwashed to want to wait until all the women Jaffa could vote rubbed me the wrong way. She could have been against Bra’tac and Teal’c’s government proposal for another reason. She could have even not stated a reason seeing as she was acting under brain washing. Women Jaffa not being able to vote should have been the first item on the agenda, or at least handled on the same time as other issues.

In Talion why not have Teal’c uncover a bunch of proof that Arkad was planning to attack Earth? Yeah, Arkad admits to Teal’c that he was deceiving the Tau’ri and going to attack Earth when they’re fighting. Teal’c just seems rasher in this episode. He didn’t kill Cronus when he was staying at Stargate Command so I think he would have listened to Stargate telling him to stop. 

Sha’re has the symbiote possessing her body removed and Abydos isn’t destroyed. There was so much potential to develop her character more and she deserved so much better.

What you write while working on another story

The link’s not showing up in the usual way, so I’m posting the link to my new story, Eat, Drink and Be Merry, here:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/18703753/chapters/44359468

When gray hair, barbecue-related accidents, the existence of coffee or chocolate on other planets and Christmas stories in Midsummer become normal topics of conversation for an unusual extended family.

This is obviously a future fic in the Ad Astra series, taking place later than Language of Love- an idea which came to me in the middle of writing Chapter 3, incidentally. Guess my mind needed a break from figuring how to turn poor Daniel’s life upside down prior to his first encounter with Catherine and the Stargate (aka immediately pre-movie).

For a humorous short take on MacGyver and the perils of barbecue, see Ch. 2 of Tattoos of Memories ("well done, with ketchup") in my Domestic Adventures AU on AO3, as written by my collaborator, deepandlovelydark.

I’ve decided the divergence from SG-1 canon will be after season 4, or even somewhere in season 5. That way including Sha’re’s death but avoiding any unnecessary character deaths or Ascensions or what have you.

Though I also really want to include Atlantis (which occurred later), as I have an idea for a couple Becky-and-Daniel adventures with the gang over in the Pegasus Galaxy. Hmm, what to do...
