shell-shocked John; Athosian greeting

[mayachain.livejournal.com]

Hello there,
I've got two requests I hope you can help me with:

1) Fics where John gets injured and isn't actually able to just brush it off as something that's just bound to happen while soldiering. Bonus points if he lets show to someone else how shaky he's feeling.
I'm not looking for permanent injuries or the aftermath of torture - "everyday occurences" like getting shot or stabbed are wholly sufficient.

2) A scene I just read inspired this random thought: Are there any instances in fic where the expedition members sort of "adopt" the Athosian forehead-touching greeting - to such a degree that they start doing it among themselves instead of only when dealing with Athosians?

Thank you!
- mayachain

Maybe this is what inspired your request! since it was just posted a few days ago :) If not, it's a lovely story, go read:

Subliminal (http://esteefee.livejournal.com/1273.html#cutid1) by esteefee. No actual injuries, but in the middle of the story, John is seriously rattled by a close call he and Rodney have.

Not head touching, but....

I don't know of any head touching ones, but there's a great hugging fic that's absolutely hysterical. Friendly Competition by seigeofangels: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/541904.html

Maybe that'll help until you get some better recs than mine! :)

Okay, that was seriously funny, even if it didn't quite fit the request. Thank you!
