Mental illness and distant John

[elleipsis.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone,

I come to you all again for any help towards finding stories in a few of genres.

1. Any stories where John has some form of mental illness or issue. I've checked the illness tag but I couldn't find anything about John, although there is lots of broken Rodney. John can be coping fine, or struggling, it can be something new that develops, or it can be an ongoing issue and I don't mind whether it's common knowledge or not. I'd prefer if everyone else is fine, but I'll still be happy with everyone is slightly off kilter stories.

2. Any stories where there is a focus point of John being quite distanced from everyone else, just generally removed from the others somehow, basically stories where he holds himself apart, for whatever reason. I don't mind it is noticed and fixed by the team, or where it is just accepted as something he is, or if it's more of a character study kind of story.

3. Just general character study like stories about John's oddness, because he is a fascinating character! Anything you can give me!

Preferably McShep, or gen please, although as long as the pairing isn't overt I can mostly read anything except John/Elizabeth and John/Teyla, unless you think it is really incredible.

Thank you very much for all your help, I really appreciate it.
