Het Fan Fiction.

There are a great many heterosexual pairings in Stargate fandom. Listed here in a rough order of popularity (estimated mainly by quantity of overall available fic) are the most common duos. Special thanks to Rosamund, who basically handed me most of this list.

Sam and Jack.
Breaking Air Force regulations.

Going through the Stargate is a dangerous job. In Doc's adventure tale Cost Of Living, Sam and then Jack are lost on a hostile planet and must depend upon each other to survive. Though Daniel, Teal'c, and SG-12 are hot on their trail, will they make it long enough to be rescued?

After the intensity of action stories, sometimes you just want some fluff. In Unchained Memory by Vicki James, Jack accidentally imbibes the local brew, and when Sam goes to put him to bed, she ends up taking an action she later regrets. But should she?

Sam and Daniel.
Putting their heads together for an emotional puzzle.

Split between friendship and love, Sam/Daniel stories are often about wanting what you can't have, or at least what people don't think you should want to have, but Sam has never been one to just go with the flow. In C. L. Kamnikar's Statistical Outliers, she realizes that just because the universe seems to be saying she should be involved with Jack, it doesn't mean she has to listen. Maybe it's the universe that's missing something. And maybe that something is Daniel.

Daniel wakes up in Sam's arms on her couch, and when she awakens she tells him she's the mother of his children. The fact that he has a concussion and she's looking after him is only incidental. In Cagey's In The Details, a befuddled Daniel recuperates with Sam, Jack, Janet and the rest of his friends. But especially Sam.

Sha're and Daniel.
The tragic couple in happier times.

Though we see relatively little of their actual relationship on-screen, Daniel and Sha're clearly share a deep love that withstands the most difficult of trials. Before the Stargate was unburied, life on Abydos was wedded bliss for Sha're and Daniel. But even then Daniel's ill-fated wife might have had a sense of things to come. In Star-Crossed by XmagicalX, disturbing premonitions of what's to come keep Sha're up at night.

No matter how the series handled Sha're, some authors wanted to do things their own way. C. L. Kamnikar's Eurydice Ascending re-writes Stargate history to create a new resolution to Sha're's story, one that illustrates her strength of will and allows her to finally have the spotlight in her own right.

Sam and Martouf.
Alien love quadralateral.

Sam/Martouf fic has petered out somewhat in recent times, but there's still a lot of good stories to read in the archives. In this one, poor Martouf has something very important to say to Sam, but between the ship's countdown to self-destruction and Sam's preoccupation with getting them both out alive, he can hardly get a word in edgewise. Have I Ever Told You...? by Jewels is a sweet little story about a love that just can't work itself into the conversation.

Janet and Daniel.
Two doctors, but only one patient.

Most of the Janet/Daniel fic available is set as a companion pairing to Sam/Jack. However, there are a few that deal with the pairing on its own. One More Time and its sequel, Scars, by Panther, takes an interesting path by having our universe's Daniel end up in an alternate SGC where their Daniel and Janet were together, but as with so many AUs, their Daniel is dead. A poignant fic.

Sam and Teal'c.
