Day 7: Bad Guys Win
At The Hour When We Are Trembling (SGA/SG1), by [archiveofourown.org profile] frostfire
Summary: The Wraith make it to Earth, and John and Daniel are left to pick up the pieces.
Really well done apocafic and a great take on both characters. This one is not only overall great but also has a lot of fantastic little details.

Sidenote, I recced the version on AO3 because it's easier to download and for screenreaders and stuff, but I originally read and reread this fic on LiveJournal and seeing it in a different format is odd. Also because it has so few comments and kudos on AO3 (compared to twelve pages of comments on Lj.)
I'm going through my old SGA bookmarks and I'll probably rec quite a few more of them to DD because odds are high she hasn't read them yet, and it makes me feel a bit nostalgic for that fandom. Good times. I got to show her the girl scout cookie fic, her face was great.

Day 8: Immortality/Reincarnation
The Golden Spirit in the Dark Forest (Akatsuki no Yona), by [archiveofourown.org profile] EHyde
Summary: A spirit has lain sleeping, unmoving, in the woods for longer than anyone can remember. For the girl who's by his side as he wakes, nothing will ever be the same, as she learns he is both far more kind and far more terrible than anyone in her village imagined.
Involuntary immortality is one of my favorite immortality tropes. I really like outsider POV, and here it works very well. The story fits well into the character's backstory, though it's imo not necessary to know canon to enjoy the story.
