Teal'c: "Thor was correct. We are going to die."
O'Neill: "Oh, c'mon, Teal'c, lighten up. We've been in these situations before."
Carter: "No, Sir, we haven't."
O'Neill: "We haven't?"

The end of the world. In technicolor.

Stargate SG-1

A Congregation of Days by Otter. Jack/Daniel. Team. 8/23/2005
Summary: Left with nothing on the edge of nowhere, and beginning at the end.
Description.

The Dirt of Sowing and Reaping by Salieri. Jack/Sam/Daniel. 8/11/2005
Excerpt: The sickle rises and falls, gleaming. Now, though, everyone knows the sound of breaking bones, on an intimate and a more general scale. Here in Carole, where they are surrounded by pasture and cornfields at the crossing of roads that no longer go anywhere, the knowledge is worked into the lines of their hands like the dirt of sowing and reaping. There are no regular people.

Description.

The Fic in Which Thor Blows Up Earth by Floopygirl. Humor. Sam/Jack. 8/23/2005
Excerpt: "This is a matter of principles. We were able to overlook the car chases, believing them to be a mere eccentricity of your people, but the mailing lists are too much." The little grey man touched another crystal in front of him and a force shield rose up between him and the two humans. "I am sorry that you'll have to see this."

Description.

Five Billion Years of Sunshine by Maayan. PG13 - NC17. 8/23/2005
Excerpt: Jack was framed by the sky, red and ripe as the devil. He jabbed a righteous finger at the rain. "That's right. They were too busy trampling each other in supermarkets and spitting on my friends' graves."

Five ways in which SG-1 doesn't manage to save the world. Detailed, imaginative, very evocative examples of SG-1 being on the losing end.

Half-Life by Jennghis Kahn. Sam/Daniel, Jack/Daniel, Sam/Jack UST. 10/31/2006
Summary: They're just blood in the water...

Description.

Hold the Lullabies by Karen T. Sam/Daniel, implied Sam/Jack. R. Drama. Angst. 11/7/2005
Summary: So far, keeping it together's been enough. Description.

In the Wrong Story by Katie M. PG-13. Sam/Jack UST, Jack/Daniel UST, Sam/Daniel, Jack/Sam/Daniel. PG-13.8/11/2005
Summary: Sam and Jack and Daniel, after the end of the world. Warning for implied rodent sex, sadly melted candy, and one intentional misspelling. Oh, also UST of various kinds.

A delightful threesome romantic comedy in apocalyptic form. After Sam retrieves Jack post-apocalypse, she, Jack and Daniel try and figure out how they all fit together. I believe this is the story that started of the OT3 (and probably the post-apocalypse) trend in SG-1 fandom (at least on livejournal).

Just Another End of the World Tale of Woe by not jenny. R. Mary-Kate/Ashley RPF, Jack/Cassie. 8/23/2005
Excerpt: The comics were wrong: Cher didn't survive the apocalypse.

So incredibly wrong, yet utterly hysterical crack. This is like Jack's worst nightmare of the end of the world.

The Last Christmas by Annerb. PG. 2/3/2007
Summary: It's the last Christmas and everything's wrong. But maybe it doesn't matter.

Description.

Paths Worth Exploring by Katie M. Sam/Daniel. NC-17. Prequel to "In the Wrong Story" 8/11/2005
Summary: Sam and Daniel by the side of the road.

A quiet, perfectly understated prequel to the funny and sweet "In the Wrong Story", where Sam and Daniel take what comfort they can in each other as they struggle with the aftermath of losing their team and everything they know. Katie's spare style is perfect to sketch out careful details and to the convey the underlying anxiety and exhaustion Sam and Daniel experience.

Pieces by nanda. PG-13. Jack/Daniel. 8/11/2005
Excerpt: Jack is still confused and Daniel is still talking, which should mean that all is right with the world. Except that, apparently, all is not right with the world. Apparently, the world kind of no longer exists.

Lost City AU of sorts, where Daniel gets to a still-trapped Jack in Antarctica after Earth is attacked. Though about Jack and Daniel's relationship, this transcends all the limitations of a pairing story and opens up the bonds between the whole team as Jack and Daniel face the end together.

The Sky Is Falling by Minxy. Sam/Cameron. 10/31/2006
Excerpt: He found her in the elementary school library, pouring over maps she'd spread all over a table by the largest window in the afternoon light and making notes in a black and white composition notebook. He pulled up a miniature chair and sat in it backwards.

Description.

The Slumbering Place in the Stars by Jennghis Kahn. Gen. R. 2/3/2007
Summary: "In the depths, the great old one slumbers. The powerful one. The great priest. The dreamer of dreams waits for the stars to align." But it was all just myth written by a strange old man. Wasn't it?

A wonderfully creepy Lovecraftian adventure/mystery.

"This is Not Wartime" series by Cofax. Multiple parts, multiple pairings. G-R. 8/11/2005
Summary: SG-1 saved the world for eight years and running. What if, a little way into Season 7, they didn't? An incredible, wide-ranging series of stories that detail SG-1 failing to save the world, and then struggling to win it back. A complex, tense plot, fantastic character moments, engaging original characters, this series has a little bit of everything and excels at all of it.

This is the Way by Ness. Sam/Jack. PG. 2/3/2007
Summary: It's a numbers game now.

Description.

Weather Vane by Ari. Gen. 10/31/2006
Summary: Not everyone dies.

Description.

A White Dove by Jemima Pierre. PG. S7 AU. Sam/Jack. 8/23/2005
Excerpt: He came from the southeast, because the Goa'uld had killed everyone to the north. Anubis had come to this world in the winter; by spring there were no farmers to plant new crops in a circle of land a thousand miles wide where the Goa'uld had killed everyone. Come summer the fields were barren and unwatered; the locals were already calling it a great dust bowl.

Description.

Winter by Jennghis Kahn. Sam/Jack. 2/3/2007
Excerpt: The hug is bulky and awkward with layers of down and synthetic filling between them, but it's desperate and warm and it feels so good to feel another living being in his arms.

A sweet, short glimpse of Sam and Jack finding each other after the end of the world.

The World Afterwards by Seldear. PG-13. 8/23/2005
Excerpt: We thought we could hold them off. We thought ourselves invincible. We thought wrong.

Series of drabbles which string together to tell a sparse but compelling story about Jack taking back the world on his own terms.

Year One and Year Two by Holdouttrout. Sam/Jack. 2/3/2007
Excerpt: The world ended in red and fire and smoke and screaming where life had been gray, the SGC burning from the bottom up, forcing its people up into a world filled with the dry leaves of fall.

Description.

Stargate: Atlantis

The Last Walk Home by Auburn. Rodney/John implied. 10/31/2006
Summary: "I'm cold and bruised and tired and wet. I nearly drowned! I think I have a right to be upset."

Description.

Legion the Things I Would Give to Oblivion by Auburn. R. Threesome. AU. SG-1 crossover. 4/08/2006
Summary: Spiraling down. The Wraith are many, the Daedalus is just one ship.

Description.

Night Breeze by Greensilver. 8/23/2005
Summary: A Teyla-centric AU riff on The Siege, II/III. Things don't work out as planned.

Description.

Three Fates by Auburn. NC-17. Novel-length. AU. Sheppard/McKay, Sheppard/McKay/Weir. 4/08/2006
Summary: There was no rational way to handle this.

Description.

SG-1/SGA Crossovers

The Same Boy You've Always Known by danvers. Sam/Rodney. 10/31/2006
Excerpt: Sam turned to look at him, cataloging his bruises. He didn't look like any kind of hero. It was almost funny. Sam could imagine him walking down the street and her pointing out to say, 'Hey, me and that guy helped to save the world', and people would say, 'That guy? Nah.'
