Claim: "Without a Trace," Jack/Samantha
Title: The Cost
Author: Mariel
Characters: Jack Malone, Samantha Spade, Danny Taylor, Vivian Johnson, Martin Fitzgerald. With original character Terry Baldwin. And Graham Spaulding.
Prompt: 34. Vacation.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long.

Brief summary: After Spaulding is released from prison, he starts killing little boys again. At the same time, Jack is weighted down from the guilt of his failing marriage. He finds himself leaning more and more on Samantha as the case progresses and worsens, and when they track Spaulding down to New Orleans, their feelings get the better of them. Not only is this story tightly plotted, it lets you inside the mind of the characters, and Spaulding himself. It's richer and more emotionally satisfying than the show's answer to Spaulding's return ("Copycat"). The author is a master of characterization and uses inner monologues so effectively, it adds a whole other layer to an already complex story. This is less of a fic and more of a novel -- and it's written so well, it should be in book form.

Big Damn Table.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Teyla
Title: Three-Part Harmony
Author: kageygir ([livejournal.com profile] kageygirl)
Characters: Elizabeth, Teyla, Carson, Radek, John, Rodney
Prompt: 49 - Reccer's Choice (episode tag)
Rating: G
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Three couples discuss the events of Duet. I have a real fondness for episode tags and stories that center around aired episodes; I like when they take and expand my knowledge of who the characters are and what were their reactions to the events that I saw. Kageygirl has a great grasp of who these characters are, and it really shines brightest in these kind of short vignettes.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Teyla
Title: Ache
Author: the_moonmoth([livejournal.com profile] the_moonmoth)
Characters: Teyla, and mentions of others
Prompt: 39 - Break-up
Rating: Mature
Length: Short
Brief summary: I put this one under break-up, but it could have just as easily have gone under denial; the break-ups in it are all Teyla preemptively deciding not to take it to the next step.

PSA: No matter how old a story is, most authors like to hear that people are reading their work, so please think about leaving feedback when you're done. Thanks!
