Hankering for...

[roxy-palace.livejournal.com]

I've got a hankering for...

1. Outsider POV fics that shed light on either an actual McShep relationship, a suspected one or on the they boy's sexuality.  

2. Any Outside POV fics actually...espcially where the subject's story sheds light on someone else's emotional life.  

I hope that makes sense...

and finally...

3. Any McShep fics where one or other of the boys has a partner when they meet, or during their friendship, and this causes all manner of emo trouble for them.  Basically I'm looking for fics where they realise they have feelings for eachother and have to worry about breaking up with someone so they can be together.  

4. Or any and all permutations of the above.

AU's welcome.  Any rating.

Thanks in advance o'best beloved fandom!

1/2) We had an Outside POV challenge (http://community.livejournal.com/mcsheplets/tag/challenge:+03+-+outside+in) on mcsheplets.

Additionally I've written an AU kid/teen McShep fic from an OFC POV here (http://velocitygrass.livejournal.com/11569.html#cutid1).

ultimateficarchiver's del.icio.us (http://del.icio.us/ultimateficarchiver) has a POV tag - scroll down among the tags on the right (you can minimize the tag groupings for an easier overview) to find them; not many stories there, but definitely worth looking over - Radek's POV, Atlantis' POV, etc. Good luck hunting!

Thanks! I'll have a nose round. Atlantis's POV sounds fantastic. I read a great fic that was the Jumpers all talking about John and Rodney. They were all crushing on John. It was SO cute.

I've a couple.

John Sheppard's sexual identity (with a hint of McShep), as viewed by Lorne: Tanlines & Dogtags (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/tanlinesanddogtags.html). How a straight Lorne ended up taking nude pictures of his gay commander.

Radek's POV of McShep: Not A Pretty Sight (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/notaprettysight.html).

[roxy-palace.livejournal.com]

YAY! This sounds right on target. Many thanks!

[roxy-palace.livejournal.com]

Wow...Tanlines blew me away, but left me feeling SO sorry for John. You really give this sense that he's all alone at the top...and for a moment he thought he could have...something with Lorne. But no. God, I really felt for John. Which just means you did an excellent job!

You have a very honest, almost brutal 'eye', don't you. There are no smooth, cool, corners, just hairpin bends. I really appreciate that.

Nice work. And thanks for pointing them out to me. I'll definitely read more of your stuff. Very interested in the report your wrot to go with Seven Walls. :)

You have a very honest, almost brutal 'eye', don't you.

Wow. High praise, and touching on something near and dear to my heart. I like stories to be cut to the bone honest.

[roxy-palace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well it would have been very easy for you to let Lorne give in. And it still would have been a good story, but it would have lost ALL it's power and it probably wouldn't have left me reeling in quite the same way. John's frustration and Lornes...confusion? They were really moving.

Rodney overhears some Marines discussing his and John's relationship, Worst Kept Secret (http://mamadebfic.livejournal.com/19401.html), here's (http://bluebrocade.livejournal.com/75820.html) a Five Things meme that kind of fits, and this one has an outsider's POV that's kind of unique; Old Soldiers Die Hard (http://friendshipper.livejournal.com/21437.html). I hope you ejoy these!

[roxy-palace.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I thank you. *dives in head first*

Pimping my own work is bad form I think but this little snippet fits the bill for 1 too well not to point you in the direction of it if you haven't read it already http://anyanka-eg.livejournal.com/586.html

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Gosh, I hope not, because I just did. I think it's okay in a blanket genre request.

[anyanka-eg.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I've got the whole British I can't self promote thing going on :-)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yes. In that case I would recommend giving links to other people's stories, and then adding at the end, "Of course, I do have this paltry thing that fits, once you've finished those...." That would be British enough.

[anyanka-eg.livejournal.com]

Ha ha. That of course works. That's the equivalent of saying 'What this little thing?' when someone compliments your frock.
