The Jack and Daniel Universe by Orrymain (NC-17)
Title: The Jack and Daniel Universe
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Categories: Romance
Length: Super Epic (over 200+ stories)
Warnings: None
Author on LJ: n/a
Website: orrymain.com
Review:
There are not many authors who would attempt to do what this author has been doing for the last few years: rewrite the entirety of the Stargate SG-1 universe (and beyond) into a slash-friendly and happy-ending-guaranteed world. While the idea, in and of itself, sounds monstrous and, perhaps, even a little bit daunting to writer and reader alike, I can say with perfect honesty that it's been one of the funniest, most entertaining, and engaging rewrites I've had the pleasure of reading and "participating" in within my whole fandom life.
Beginning at season one episode one of the series, this massive rewrite explores the relationship between Jack and Daniel, starting from post-movie friendship, to lovers, to husbands, to (depending on if you want to go that far) fathers and family. Everything, from trials and tribulations to birthdays and anniversaries, is touched on in this series and given a rose-colored glasses flavor of reality. Even if you’re new to the series, don’t want to have to slog through episode-story upon episode-story, or just feel unequal to reading the universe from the beginning, you can easily jump to any “episode” you wish, reading each story in turn as a stand alone in any order you want.
While Orrymain is still, frequently, updating this universe with new stories and fresh edits, I highly encourage anyone who enjoys this pairing, happy endings, or the Stargate universe to try this out. It’s a fun ride with wonderful characterization and plenty of adventures to keep you occupied, even if you’re just wanting to read a story or two.

thanks for the rec!
(there is something similar been trying to do that for Smallville, its the corner of the world series, by serafina20, its also rewriting the show to the clex relationship for the first 3 seasons or so... Sadly the author then lost interest in SV as the show just got too bad..
But another author had jumped in, and tried to continue it, littlehollyeaf, and both authors have really done a great job!)
here are the links, if you should ever want to give it a try:

I hadn't a clue that someone was attempting this with Smallville but I'm definitely going to check it out. That's one fandom I seem to fall in and out of so maybe this will jump start my Clex meter again. Thanks so much for the links!
glad I could help :)
and should you ever "maybe this will jump start my Clex meter again." jump again into clex, me and my friends, we both have two rec journals that deals with nearly clex only, feel free to browse around :)
