Okay, so @MiaZvingulis asked me for fic recs? I'm far from the expert in this fandom, but y'all know I can't resist reccing stuff :)

Aaaah, how to start. I love pretty much every SJ fic ever written by @sharim30229377 - I feel like my personal favorites are Anything Cliche ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/17722562/chapters/41810867) and Breakfast at Jack's ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1120228/1/Breakfast-at-Jack-s) but really, anything she's ever written. Seriously.

What may be my favorite S/J oneshot ever is Spiletta42's Never Say Die ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/198309 ), and I also absolutely *adore* Badfic!Pete and the Temple of Doom ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/198333 ) and Xanadu ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/198296 ) and Jaunt to Paradise ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/198299 ). <3

Anything by Sally Reeve is a surefire favorite. There are a ton of good ones here https://archiveofourown.org/users/Salr323/pseuds/Salr323/works?fandom_id=1331 but I think there are some others on http://samandjack.net if you need more of her writing. :D

My personal favorite is probably 2001 ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/1139715 )

No list of SJ recs would be complete without the writing of @proftennant, my hero for writing Body Checked ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/15088637 ). She also writes *adorable* oneshots. I *love* our hearts are holding hands https://archiveofourown.org/works/16463123 but really, read every single one of her works.

On the topic of things that make me *melt*, @CoraClavia 's SJ fics are amazing and sweet and just *perfect*. Off the top of my head, I'd recommend Five Times Sam Gets Married ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/16434491 ) but I think I love everything she's ever written.

And how could I *not* mention @polrobin 's wonderful fics, headlined by the Campfire Series ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/221922 ) of course but *please* read some of her other stuff too - Fever https://archiveofourown.org/works/221819 is amazing and Cookies and Compromises is sweeeet https://archiveofourown.org/works/221869

In terms of more recent writers, I'm in love with @pensivevet 's way with words...I can't play favorites but I just finished 2010 ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/19193608 ) which is absolutely wonderful. And if you're willing to read a WIP, In dreams https://archiveofourown.org/works/24759118 is a must. :)

Is it cheating to rec 240 fics at once? I hope not, because the Bizarre Holidays series by @itsjustmejac ( https://archiveofourown.org/series/1234973 ) is awesome. As is she and the rest of her fics. <3 :D

I think it's a rule: you've gotta rec @amaradangeli's stuff when you rec SJ fic. And it's a good rule.

There is no way I can choose fave of the 102 fics she's got on AO3. But I have to say, Escape Pod https://archiveofourown.org/works/13930695 is one of the best escape pod fics ever written. ;)

Another author of whose fics I can't choose a favorite: @femsff . Some of my favorite plotty fics ever. I'm partial to the WIP Unmade Plans, but...just read everything she's ever written? :D https://archiveofourown.org/users/fems/pseuds/fems/works?fandom_id=1331&page=1

Okay, I'm pretty sure anyone who follows me on Tumblr knows that I absolutely *love* Jojo's fic. Go and read EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. https://www.fanfiction.net/u/259357/Jojo6

Oh, you want specific Jojo recs? Monday Mornings is my headcanon. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1132696/1/Monday-Mornings

Pillow Talk, definitely one of my favorite early season SJ fics: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1004613/1/Pillow-Talk

And Engaged! I squeed so hard the first time I read it. Read to the end... https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1024948/1/Engaged

Another great FFN author is KissHerJack aka Gail Delaney (she's got some stuff on http://samandjack.net too). https://www.fanfiction.net/u/257743/KissHerJack

Twilight is definitely one of the best "stranded offworld" stories https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2098852/1/Twilight and I personally love Bed ;) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2352598/1/Bed

Going through my favorites on FFN now...I love literatiwannabe's stories ( https://www.fanfiction.net/u/349907/literatiwannabe) I think my favorite series is the Splintered Sentiment series? https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1891178/1/Splintered-Sentiment

The humor and general adorableness in Kate McCaye's writing always makes me grin https://www.fanfiction.net/u/625070/Kate-McCaye.

The last tale in the Compromising Positions series https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2552776/1/Compromising-Positions-A-Very-Sticky-Situation and A Nice Trip to the Forest https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2085300/1/A-Nice-Trip-to-the-Forest would be my recs, but the Birthdays series is also fantastic :)

Now, some specific story recs...The Way We Were ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4061870/1/The-Way-We-Were) is probably my favorite amnesia fic of all time...I can't quite describe why I love it so much.

Despair and hope by wanderingsmith ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4819664/1/Despair-and-hope) is an excellent alternate Chimera fic. So, so sweet. <3

The Old Man and the Sea ( https://fanfiction.net/s/1863007/1/The-Old-Man-and-the-Sea) by rogue-bishop is one of the most serious Jack and Jacob fics I've read. Jack's a sweetheart in this one. And there's a super shippy sequel :)

Unguarded by RedGrayBall ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10145646/1/Unguarded) is wonderful and perfectly in character and was one of the fics that made me think, "hey, maybe I could do this." :)

Regency's Not a Shambles, Not a Work of Art always makes me cry. Not sure why, other than the beautiful writing. But anyway. Go read it. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5631879/1/Not-a-Shambles-Not-a-Work-of-Art

Safe Bet by LadyRaider is a great Grace AU...with a happy ending! https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2296258/1/Safe-Bet

I desperately want more pilot!SJ fics, as you all know. So I love Come Fly With Me by SG1-Fanfic (I am in love with the X-303 and Sam's flying skills): https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1889596/1/Come-Fly-With-Me

Proposal of the Day by SecretArt is an Affinity fix-it AU that's...different. I can't say anything without spoiling it, but I love it and you should read it: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2042581/1/Proposal-Of-The-Day

Some Things Never Change by Rebecca Steven Taylor is heavy on the romance and is a much, much better take on the "Sam gets a boyfriend" narrative than we got in canon, imho. :) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1285794/1/Some-Things-never-Change

One more of the "I love it so freaking much but if you asked me exactly why I couldn't tell you" genre: Permanent Divide by kate98 is a shippy, sweet "stop the wedding!" fic.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2236360/1/Permanent-Divide

So... @MiaZvingulis asked for more and I am so happy to add to this. AO3 bookmarks time!

Most of northernexposure's fic is for ST: Voyager (including one of my favorite J/C fics ever) but this one is S/J and it's fabulous: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16761223

I've somehow neglected to rec missparker's fic so far. Which needs to be rectified immediately. The Plan C series, starting with this one ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/133729 ) will make you laugh and smile and cry...it's utterly brilliant.

And Desperation was one of the first SJ fics I read and that fifth scene is probably one of my favorite, favorite, favorite S/J kisses in fic EVER.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/134933

But really, all of missparker's stuff is fantastic...you can't go wrong.

I'm back and am going to have more fic rec fun this evening. Let's see...Strange Statues by dizzy may be my favorite S/J kidfic ever. Even if you aren't into that trope, give it a read. It's in character and pretty much perfect.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/16806

MissAnnThropic's All Her Colors is 134,260 words and I think I read it all in one sitting--it's just that good. Sweet and shippy and angst all in one go. Go forth and read...I'll see you in a few hours

https://archiveofourown.org/works/7244251

This one isn't on AO3 as far as I know, but The Alternate Universe Survival Guide (and the sequel) made me make such an unearthly noise while reading that I woke my roommate the first time I read it

It's funny and shippy and just HILARIOUS. http://www.ficml.org/jemimap/sg1/ship/auguide.html

Reccing a few fics a day here is somehow hugely beneficial to my mental health.

So expect to see this thread continuing for the foreseeable future...

If you're looking for shippy, still-in-character comedy, look no further than Five Nights in Nottingham by bluemoonmaverick. https://archiveofourown.org/works/1481152 And check out the rest of their fics while you're at it, they're all awesome! A personal favorite of mine: https://archiveofourown.org/works/1144191
