Review:
I try my darnest to rec long stories that are fully contained, that draw from the canon of their fandom but can be read and understood by folk who may not be familiar with said canon. Broken Wings is a series of tales (technically a WIP, but each section is wrapped up fairly well) about pilot Cameron Mitchell who, in an AU twist, left the Stargate program after being badly injured while on the job, and the teenage clone of Jack O'Neill who goes by the name of J.D. Nielson. J.D. finds Cameron thanks to the intervention of Sam Carter, with the two men deciding to work together (or, rather, J.D. begins by pulling Cameron along for the ride) on various military computer-related contracts and, in the process, begin healing and build a relationship together. This series seems like it's been recced *everywhere* recently, and for good reason: it's plotty, it's emotionally resonant, and the tension that runs through the last couple of installments is guaranteed to keep you up at night making your way through it all.

This sounds VERY interesting. I don't know much about canon so this story should be good for me ;p

I love stories that are fleshed out enough for anyone with marginal interest to follow. It's probably painfully obvious, but most of the fandoms I follow I usually don't know much about the source material's actual content, usually because the writing and/or acting is this side of painful (*cough*sentinelduesouthpaulgrossandcallumistillloveyou!*cough*)

I was irked when she decided to do the latest installment in serial form, because I have absolutely no patience. I just cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next. :)

I don't even read SG-1 fic, but this sounds irresistable:) Thanks!

*heaps love on you* I have a special fondness for clone!Jack (I feel bad calling him that but every author seems to dub him something different) but I find it so hard to find really good fic featuring him. Bless you for reccing this!

SG1 is one of the fandoms I usually make it my business to read in, even though I've watched much more than five full episodes and the movie (which, btw, I detested; ask me how I ended up in the fandom and watch me scramble for a reply). One of those eppies was the first one with cloneJack, and I fell instantly in love. The kid playing O'Neill was spot-on with the mannerisms and I actually *felt* for his predicament. So, yes, I too have a soft spot for fic about him. :)
