Challenge #72: What Makes You Happy

We all need some positive vibes these days, so this month the challenge is to draw or paint anything that makes you happy, or that makes your favourite characters happy. It could be a person, a place, a garden, a cup of tea or coffee, a pet, a stack of books - anything at all!

If you're into Star Trek, Spock could be what makes Jim happy, or for Blackbeard, it might be Stede. You can draw something fannish, or something personal, as long as it makes you or your characters happy.

A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done at the end of July.

Why This Must Be Read: Written for Whumpex 2025, this one was really fun to play around with the concept, what if Carter was turned into a Jaffa by Hathor? I got to explore a few of my Jaffa cultural headcanons and, of course, whump Carter.

Why This Must Be Read: This is such a fun fic written for the Kill Your Double Exchange featuring Carter and TBFTGOG!Carter. What if Carter had followed Daniel through the quantum mirror? The treatment of Carter as a familiar face vs Daniel as an unfamiliar face in canon is interesting.

Why This Must Be Read: Imagine, if you will, vampires in SG-1 science fiction style. This fic perfectly keeps with SG-1's tone and characterization for a vampire story. Carter dies. And wakes up. But she's different and has to deal with that. Carter, Janet, and Daniel especially shine in this story. There are also some Jack moments that are just perfect even though he has a smaller role.

Author’s summary: Nelan goes to see the Matchmaker.

Why This Must Be Read: I love stories with a sensitive, loving outsider POV on Rodney, and this one by the amazing lavvyan is one of the best. It’s beautifully written and an absolute joy to read. It starts like a fairy tale—neatly woven, with lovely, heartwarming world-building—and quickly adds the shadow of something horrible that has happened. You’ll get to see how Rodney has adapted, still being his unique, unmistakable self.

This story will get under your skin, break your heart a little, and make you feel deeply for Rodney, seen through the eyes of a wonderful, sweet OC. It’s an outstanding piece, and there's also an equally outstanding podfic by cookiemom6067 that adds beautifully to the experience.
I can promise you a heart-wrenching, deeply moving, yet joyful happy ending.
And one thing: make sure to have some tissues nearby. Trust me — you'll need them!
