Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, I looked through the Crack_Van archives. Not much there (lots and lots of Jack/Daniel), and, yes, very spotty. Also tending toward the angsty, which I am not inherently opposed to, but it's good to lighten up sometimes, you know?

I was so hopeful, since I'd found a ship that's actually canon...maybe that's why people aren't writing it (well).

Thank you muchly.

Is there any GOOD Alias fic out there? (Or else hilariously aswful Alias fic?)

Your best bet is Splash, then, and yeah, Nanda's got a lot of happy post-retirement stuff.

Good Alias? Check out Bright Shiny Objects. And Polyrecs. (I think I need a macro for this...)

I really like Vanzetti's work, but she's a bit offkilter; if you like Spydaddy and/or Sark you may like her stuff. And of course, Dana has written some excellent stuff.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hmm. HappyFun Sam/Jack?

I've read some S/J but I like the messed-up/wrong variety better. Nanda's "Salvage" linked by 'Suela above is great, but it's definitely not happy. Some of her other stuff is less angsty.

I really like the stories by Jemima Pereira: "The Alternative Universe Survival Guide" and its sequel, "The Perfect Set-up" are a pair of delightful in-character S/J romp that makes a good use of the quantum mirror device. My favorite story of hers by far is "White Dove" (another quantum mirror story) though, which is not fluffy, but is odd and quirky and kind of tragic in a very understated way.

I love elly's stories, but again, not so much with the happy. Oh my God. "Left Behind". What a trainwreck.

Christine does good Sam/Jack. [link] She gives good femslash and character pieces, too.

Suz Voy is prolific and popular and she's not bad, although personally, I find her stuff a bit too fluffy.

Like Suela, I don't really read the pairing widely. so if there have been good new writers lately, I'm probably missing them.

Cool. Thanks

I keep forgetting about CGB, which is stupid, because she's so very good at just about everything she writes.

And I just reread Elly's Concessions. Ouch. And Yum.

I can't rec from personal experience, since I don't read Alias fic. But I know Yahtzee sometimes writes fic about the show, and she's written Angel/Cordelia fic that didn't make me see red. Also, made me cry with a Joan of Arcadia/Day After Tomorrow story despite my utter lack of familiarity with any of the characters therein.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I loved that fic (JoA/DaT).
