John & Jack
Nov. 27th, 2008 12:04 pmHey guys, I'm looking for fics featuring John Sheppard and Jack O'Neill as two of the main characters.
Crossovers, AUs, Gen, Het, Slash it's all good!
Also fics with John as the main character and Jack having a more background part (as long as he features pretty heavily) are good too! Thanks!
BTW: I have read the Pegasus B stories. :)
UPDATE: You guys rock! Keep 'em coming! :)

Part 2 because LJ is stupid
Date: 2008-11-27 08:45 pm (UTC)In To Promote or Not To Promote, Landry tells O'Neill of Elizabeth's demand for John to be promoted and head up the military on Atlantis. As a John fan this one upsets me a little because of their attitudes and yet it is perfectly in character and accurate for the characters and two officers of their experience and rank. I like the military parts to be as realistic as possible and this is. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2587507/1/
Poor Sam. John and Jack are way too alike in Made to be Broken, which cracks me up every time. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3851953/1/
When Jack confronts John after the events of McKay and Mrs. Miller, he sees an uncomfortably close reflection of himself, his values and the difficult choices he has made in the younger man in Mirror, Mirror. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3926680/1/
If you like AUs, you have to check out the best and most hilarious crackverse ever, the House That Jack Built community (http://community.livejournal.com/jack_built/). Jack runs an apartment house and John (among many, many other characters) is a tenant. There are a ton of stories and they are all a delight.
I don't know if you have ever read Ryan C. Charles incredible AU series (http://doorwaysfanfic.com/) but if you haven't, you will not be sorry that you took the time to read these. They are fabulous. Jack appears most significantly in the stories near the end but I wouldn't read them out of order. He is fantastic especially in Reconciliation. The author basically took the events of The Long Goodbye and split off into a new AU. There are a ton of LONG stories, enough to stay up all night reading (as I did). The world building and how she addresses the ethical issues of what the expedition is doing and has done is incredible. Sometimes events from the episodes in canon cross over but always in the context of this world. She hasn't written anything since January because she is pissed at the TPTB but hopefully she'll start again. We can beg right? This is sophisticated storytelling at its best and there are tons of meaty parts for characters we love like Lorne and Jack. The ship is there but subtle so if you are a J/T fan you will be happy, and if you're not, you won't mind. The Pegasus Galaxy and the show as it had the potential to be with strange, fully-developed alien races, moral dilemmas, advanced and dangerous technologies, character development and vivid emotional resonance.
