Why This Must Be Read: John and Rodney meet at a therapist's office, and hit it off immediately despite John's parents' disapproval. John's acting out by going through a Goth fake vampire phase, hence the title, and he and Rodney of course get up to mischief. Funny and sweet - also, Rodney's therapist is great!

Why This Must Be Read: This isn't quite enemies-to-lovers but Rodney's definitely initially annoyed with John, the new guy at the Mensa chess club, and it takes him quite some time to traverse a) being emotionally deaf to John's interest, b) becoming friends with John, c) slowly realising he's attracted to John, d) having a sexual identity crisis, and, e) researching gay sex so as to be prepared. Meanwhile, a disappointed John has found a new boyfriend! This sounds way angstier than it is - Rodney's charmingly clueless and concrete but he's also bluntly determined once he figures himself and the situation out - and of course it all comes right in the end. An enjoyable read!

Author's Summary:

Jack gets the phone call when he's in Daniel's office waiting for him. The archaeologist had been sent off with one of the other teams while Jack and Teal'c healed up from their last mission gone wrong. Jack knows perfectly well that there's no cause for worry, that the teams the SGC puts together are more than capable of keeping Daniel safe.

That doesn't mean he doesn't worry.

wherein jack loses daniel and fights to get him back.


Why This Must Be Read:

Written for a fest that seemed to prompt using *all* the tropes (at least as many as possible), hollyandvice does use all the tropes and uses them well.

Daniel (supposedly) dies while off-world with another SG team. But -- important -- there's no body! So Jack never gives up hope, follows the thinnest of threads and brings Daniel back.

But!

Then they have to talk! Luckily, Daniel is fluent in silent-O'Neill and there's hope for our boys.
