looking for a specific kind of AU
May. 14th, 2009 12:50 amI'm looking for AUs in which Sheppard belongs to a despised, oppressed, and/or feared group or minority. Bonus points if that comes with special abilities that are then nevertheless exploited, but that's not a must. Examples for what I have in mind would be Aegis by Leah and Springwoof, M Is for Monster by Seleneheart, or Dearest by Lavvyan.

ETA: Forgot to ask if you were counting BDSM-ish society AUs as well - there's at least a few in which John's the bottom (or the AU equivalent of not being in charge of his own life 99% of the time), which might fit your request...?
