AU with John down on his luck?

[br0th3rlylove.livejournal.com]

Wassup fellow SGA lovers! I was hoping you wonderful people could help me find some good AU's. I'm a Shepwhore, so I prefer ones centering around John, more specifically with him down on his luck in some way. (no job, no income, injured etc.) I will take any good John AU's though. I like McShep and prefer it not to be angst filled (a littles cool)

Thanks so much in advance!!!

John is down on his luck semi angsty with a happy ending.

Lean On Me is a great down on his luck John story. A bit agnsty but it has a happy ending.

Ah, I love this story! It's actually what prompted me to look for more! Glad to know other people love it as well!

Awesome! It looks very good! Angst is all good as long as there's that happy ending! Thanks!

Not Past Saving by kyrdwyn (http://kyrdwyn.livejournal.com/168357.html#cutid1) This one's not an au, but it's short and it fits all the other requirements if you're interested.

If you check the tags I just asked for AU's a couple of days ago. Not much in the way of John down on his luck, but soem GREAT AU's none the less.
Cheers for this request though, as some of the recs here are new to me.

Cheers!

Second Best (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=12518) by sgamadison, McShep, NC-17, has a down-on-his-luck John (Jay) taken from his 'gate-free universe by the SGA team missing a Sheppard in Atlantis. Some existential angst of the woe-I'm-not-the-great-hero-just-his-shadow-clone variety, some comfort sex, a few heroic deeds, and finally, a sequel (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=13186) to cement the deal. :-)

Have you read Wide Open Ocean, by setissma (http://setissma.livejournal.com/502555.html)? Really good stuff.

[br0th3rlylove.livejournal.com]

Those where all very fun! The last one was AU enough for me. Poor John! Thanks!

[br0th3rlylove.livejournal.com]

Lol, yeah, I'd read a bunch of those! There are a ton of good ones there, so definitely something to be checked out! Thanks!

[br0th3rlylove.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, I remember this one! Very good read. Definitely need to go read it again, though I always want to cuddle with my cat while I read it ^^ (not totally angst, but definitely a bit of heartache!)
Thanks!

I don't think I have! Going to read it right now. Thank you!
