Okay, so @MiaZvingulis asked me for fic recs? I& #39;m far from the expert in this fandom, but y& #39;all know I can& #39;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)">https://archiveofourown.org/works/177... and Breakfast at Jack& #39;s ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1120228/1/Breakfast-at-Jack-s)">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1120228... but really, anything she& #39;s ever written. Seriously.
What may be my favorite S/J oneshot ever is Spiletta42& #39;s Never Say Die ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/198309 ),">https://archiveofourown.org/works/198... and I also absolutely *adore* Badfic!Pete and the Temple of Doom ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/198333 )">https://archiveofourown.org/works/198... and Xanadu ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/198296 )">https://archiveofourown.org/works/198... and Jaunt to Paradise ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/198299 ).">https://archiveofourown.org/works/198... <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">https://archiveofourown.org/users/Sal... but I think there are some others on http://samandjack.net"> http://samandjack.net if you need more of her writing. :D
My personal favorite is probably 2001 ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/1139715 )">https://archiveofourown.org/works/113...
My personal favorite is probably 2001 ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/1139715 )">https://archiveofourown.org/works/113...
No list of SJ recs would be complete without the writing of @proftennant, my hero for writing Body Checked ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/15088637 ).">https://archiveofourown.org/works/150... She also writes *adorable* oneshots. I *love* our hearts are holding hands https://archiveofourown.org/works/16463123 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/164... but really, read every single one of her works.
On the topic of things that make me *melt*, @CoraClavia & #39;s SJ fics are amazing and sweet and just *perfect*. Off the top of my head, I& #39;d recommend Five Times Sam Gets Married ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/16434491 )">https://archiveofourown.org/works/164... but I think I love everything she& #39;s ever written.
And how could I *not* mention @polrobin & #39;s wonderful fics, headlined by the Campfire Series ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/221922 )">https://archiveofourown.org/works/221... of course but *please* read some of her other stuff too - Fever https://archiveofourown.org/works/221819 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/221... is amazing and Cookies and Compromises is sweeeet https://archiveofourown.org/works/221869 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/221...
In terms of more recent writers, I& #39;m in love with @pensivevet & #39;s way with words...I can& #39;t play favorites but I just finished 2010 ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/19193608 )">https://archiveofourown.org/works/191... which is absolutely wonderful. And if you& #39;re willing to read a WIP, In dreams https://archiveofourown.org/works/24759118 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/247... 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 )">https://archiveofourown.org/series/12... is awesome. As is she and the rest of her fics. <3 :D
I think it& #39;s a rule: you& #39;ve gotta rec @amaradangeli& #39;s stuff when you rec SJ fic. And it& #39;s a good rule.
There is no way I can choose fave of the 102 fics she& #39;s got on AO3. But I have to say, Escape Pod https://archiveofourown.org/works/13930695 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/139... is one of the best escape pod fics ever written. ;)

Another author of whose fics I can& #39;t choose a favorite: @femsff . Some of my favorite plotty fics ever. I& #39;m partial to the WIP Unmade Plans, but...just read everything she& #39;s ever written? :D https://archiveofourown.org/users/fems/pseuds/fems/works?fandom_id=1331&page=1">https://archiveofourown.org/users/fem...
Okay, I& #39;m pretty sure anyone who follows me on Tumblr knows that I absolutely *love* Jojo& #39;s fic. Go and read EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. https://www.fanfiction.net/u/259357/Jojo6 ">https://www.fanfiction.net/u/259357/...
Oh, you want specific Jojo recs? Monday Mornings is my headcanon. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1132696/1/Monday-Mornings
Pillow">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1132696... Talk, definitely one of my favorite early season SJ fics: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1004613/1/Pillow-Talk
And">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1004613... Engaged! I squeed so hard the first time I read it. Read to the end... https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1024948/1/Engaged">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1024948...

Another great FFN author is KissHerJack aka Gail Delaney (she& #39;s got some stuff on http://samandjack.net"> http://samandjack.net too). https://www.fanfiction.net/u/257743/KissHerJack
Twilight">https://www.fanfiction.net/u/257743/... is definitely one of the best "stranded offworld" stories https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2098852/1/Twilight">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2098852... and I personally love Bed ;) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2352598/1/Bed ">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2352598...

Going through my favorites on FFN now...I love literatiwannabe& #39;s stories ( https://www.fanfiction.net/u/349907/literatiwannabe)">https://www.fanfiction.net/u/349907/... I think my favorite series is the Splintered Sentiment series? https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1891178/1/Splintered-Sentiment">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1891178...
The humor and general adorableness in Kate McCaye& #39;s writing always makes me grin https://www.fanfiction.net/u/625070/Kate-McCaye.">https://www.fanfiction.net/u/625070/...
The last tale in the Compromising Positions series https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2552776/1/Compromising-Positions-A-Very-Sticky-Situation">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2552776... and A Nice Trip to the Forest https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2085300/1/A-Nice-Trip-to-the-Forest">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2085300... 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)">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4061870... is probably my favorite amnesia fic of all time...I can& #39;t quite describe why I love it so much.
Despair and hope by wanderingsmith ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4819664/1/Despair-and-hope)">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4819664... 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)">https://fanfiction.net/s/1863007... by rogue-bishop is one of the most serious Jack and Jacob fics I& #39;ve read. Jack& #39;s a sweetheart in this one. And there& #39;s a super shippy sequel :)
Unguarded by RedGrayBall ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10145646/1/Unguarded)">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1014564... is wonderful and perfectly in character and was one of the fics that made me think, "hey, maybe I could do this." :)
Regency& #39;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">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5631879...
Safe Bet by LadyRaider is a great Grace AU...with a happy ending! https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2296258/1/Safe-Bet">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2296258...
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& #39;s flying skills): https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1889596/1/Come-Fly-With-Me">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1889596...
Proposal of the Day by SecretArt is an Affinity fix-it AU that& #39;s...different. I can& #39;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">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2042581...
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">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1285794...
One more of the "I love it so freaking much but if you asked me exactly why I couldn& #39;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">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2236360...
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2236360/1/Permanent-Divide">https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2236360...
So... @MiaZvingulis asked for more and I am so happy to add to this. AO3 bookmarks time!

Most of northernexposure& #39;s fic is for ST: Voyager (including one of my favorite J/C fics ever) but this one is S/J and it& #39;s fabulous: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16761223 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/167...
I& #39;ve somehow neglected to rec missparker& #39;s fic so far. Which needs to be rectified immediately. The Plan C series, starting with this one ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/133729 )">https://archiveofourown.org/works/133... will make you laugh and smile and cry...it& #39;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.

But">https://archiveofourown.org/works/134... really, all of missparker& #39;s stuff is fantastic...you can& #39;t go wrong.

I& #39;m back and am going to have more fic rec fun this evening. Let& #39;s see...Strange Statues by dizzy may be my favorite S/J kidfic ever. Even if you aren& #39;t into that trope, give it a read. It& #39;s in character and pretty much perfect.

MissAnnThropic& #39;s All Her Colors is 134,260 words and I think I read it all in one sitting--it& #39;s just that good. Sweet and shippy and angst all in one go. Go forth and read...I& #39;ll see you in a few hours
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen"> https://archiveofourown.org/works/7244251 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/724...
This one isn& #39;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
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen"> It& #39;s funny and shippy and just HILARIOUS. http://www.ficml.org/jemimap/sg1/ship/auguide.html">https://www.ficml.org/jemimap/s...
Reccing a few fics a day here is somehow hugely beneficial to my mental health.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen"> So expect to see this thread continuing for the foreseeable future...
If you& #39;re looking for shippy, still-in-character comedy, look no further than Five Nights in Nottingham by bluemoonmaverick. https://archiveofourown.org/works/1481152 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/148... And check out the rest of their fics while you& #39;re at it, they& #39;re all awesome!
