the family shep

Hi, can anyone point me in the direction of some fic (mcshep/shepbeck) where we are introduced to John's family. I have already read "In his father's shadow", "a beautiful lifetime event", and " a better fate". thanks in advance!

I don't recall any stories that deal with John's family very directly, but there's a glimpse of them in Tidings of Comfort and Joy (http://tiranog.southroad.com/SGA/Tidings_of_Comfort_and_Joy.htm) by tiranog which is a great story any way you look at it. Also, tarlanx wrote a crossover series Century Hotel (http://davidhewlett.tarlanx.com/fiction/viewseries.php?seriesid=5), in which DH's character from the movie "Century Hotel" is Rodney's great uncle who's shacking up with an OMC (heavily implied that he's played by JF, natch) who, in turn, is John's great uncle. Or something like that. In any case, you'll want the 3rd/last story in the series, in which John and Rodney show up to visit the family, but reading the others will give you a nice background for the characters, even if you haven't seen "Century Hotel".

thanks for this. I have read the century hotel one, but will take a look at the other. it would be soo much easier to just right the fic you want to read, but sadly writing is not my thing.
