Competent!John

To wipe the last episode's bad taste out of my mouth, I'd love recs of fics in which John is a competent military leader. McShep preferred but team!fic or het are okay too. AU is okay too, as long as John is with the military or law enforcement of some kind.

Have you tried Martha Wilson's Retrograde verse? Worth a reread, anyway. ;) http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/seriesindex.htm

I haven't; thanks!

Since you said you don't mind gen/team stuff -

http://miss-porcupine.livejournal.com/160017.html#cutid1 - Just like the Richard Gere Movie and Custer's Last Stand specifically, but anything before the story called Post Hoc has competent Sheppard. After Post Hoc, he's still that good, but I dunno which fic focus on him and which ones focus on Lorne because I fail at remembering stuff lately.

Cool, thank you!

This is miss porcupine's website: http://offpanel.net/dmz/sga.html Everything on it is very well written, particularly The Jenny Code. It's organized by the years she wrote the stories. Yes, some are John and some are Lorne but they are all well worth reading.

Thanks; I don't think I've read any of her stories.

You will probably like this one then: Revalations and Second Impressions (http://negolith2.livejournal.com/24498.html#cutid1). It's an episode tag to the stinking pit of ineptitude that is Whispers, and it goes a long way towards redeeming John, Carson and Team Estrogen.

Thanks, I think I need this!
