Judge of Character
General Hammond has always believed himself to be a good judge of character, which is why, after an alien space pirate hijacked the Prometheus, he decides to offer the eccentric space pirate a chance to join the SGC, using Daniel Jackson as an incentive to persuade her. He is also interested to see how things play out between her and a certain archeologist. D/V, smidge of J/S.
My notes:
Really well-paced and has excellent mission storylines. I love the premise of Vala being drawn into the fold right after Prometheus Unbound by Hammond. I always thought we never got to see enough of Vala and the way she so seamlessly integrated into SG-1. I love how this slight venture into AU territory makes the beginning... Read more
Break the Lock
Daniel and Vala learn how to get along. Be friends, even. They insist that’s all there is to it. They’re wrong.
The Boy on the Beach multiverses
One moment she was sitting in the chair. Her chin up, her expression ice. And the next moment she was gone.
No one had to tell Mulder something had gone wrong. No one had to tell him the difference between having Scully and lacking Scully. In that distinction he was expert.
My notes:
This is incredible and one of my favorite AUs. Scully gets thrown back into November 1973 as an adult, but as her 1999 self, and she becomes determined to save Samantha before she disappears. In 1999, Mulder is still recovering from brain surgery and their relationship is in that tense place between friendship and intimacy... Read more
The Places You Don’t Walk Away From
Just as Rory adjusts to her big news, life throws her for another loop. As she dives into a new project, she reconnects with an old friend and begins to wonder: Can you ever move forward by going back? Post-AYITL.
My notes:
Just… absolute favorite. Rory’s evolution and growth is beautifully done. Excellent characterization, and really lovely and realistic interpretation of Rory and Jess.

Smidge of J/S.
Manifest
Voyager is hijacked by a hostile alien society, her crew scattered across a barren wasteland of a planet. Isolated from everything he knows, Tom Paris must rely on his talents for flying and survival just to make it through each day. His job brings him to a harrowing, hellish factory compound where he finds a familiar face: B’Elanna Torres. She’s the only person with the ingenuity and resourcefulness to secure their escape, but before B’Elanna can save Voyager, Tom must save B’Elanna. An AU that takes place in early season three.
Partners with Benefits
Mulder and Scully try being friends with benefits. Will it work out, or will their feelings for each other complicate things?
My notes:
One of my all-time favorite tropes, and one of my all-time favorite authors. I’ll be rereading this forever, I’m sure.
