Once Upon a Time in Egypt by LJ (PG)
Hi, I'm Julie, and I'll be driving the Stargate SG-1 van this month. I apologize for the late start. My recs this month will primarily focus on Sam Carter, with a little Sam/Jack on the side.

Why this must be read:
One of the common comments about the AU verse in Moebius was how very different Moebius Sam was from our Sam. LJ takes the idea of that alternate universe back into the depths of its history to create a simple, yet compelling sequence of "what ifs" that would explain that difference.
In the land of the Hellenes there was never a woman named Micha. Micha was tall and carried herself like a rich woman, though she was not. A man named Kanelaos coveted and won her, and he wrote her great songs. A poet, wandering from village to village generations later, heard the songs and learnt them well. He asked the people there, "For whom do you sing these songs?" They answered, "We honor the ancestress for whom they were written, like a goddess she was." The poet took the songs with him, to the places that would be Athens and Sparta and he changed the words and men sang them to Athena and Demeter and Artemis as hymns fitting their divine requests.
But Micha was never born in the land of the Hellenes and her husband's songs never left their valley.
