Look To The Heavens And Number The Stars by minervacat (R)

Why this must be read:  This is an awesome look at SG:1 (and Stargate Command in general) from the POV of an outsider.  Plus, library science - who can resist that?  \o/

Her second day underneath the Mountain, she was sitting in her office trying to make sense of a stack of scrolls that looked pre-Egyptian, except they were too real to be forgeries and too new to be from the era they should have been from, and a distracted looking man drifted through the door and made a couple of circuits of the junk they'd brought Claire to catalog before looking up and noticing her.

"Hi," he said cheerfully. "How would you classify the Stargate, if you had to?"

Claire stared at him.

"Library of Congress or Dewey, either's fine," the man said.

I don't normally read in SG1, but I took a chance since you're the reccer this month. I'm so very glad I did. This is a great story. What an unusual premise and absolutely wonderful OC who really brought it to the table.

I left feedback for the author and noticed several others did as well, so kudos to you for getting her some well-deserved recognition.
