Hi everyone,

Happy Holidays. I'm looking for stories where John is Torren father instead of Kanan.  Or stories were John becomes Torren's Step-father will work just as well.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any, but it's a request I've wanted to post too. :)

They said when they decided to put Rachel's pregnancy into the show they had two choices for the dad, Sheppard or a unknown Athosian. I think they chose the wrong one!

Tough one....



Probably the closest ones I know are:

”A Child's Insight” (http://ltcoljsheppard.livejournal.com/10092.html) by [livejournal.com profile] ltcoljsheppard

”The Middle Son” (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4363206/1/The_Middle_Son) & it's WIP sequel ”Wishes” (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5356110/1/Wishes) by Wedjatqi – I'm not sure how well this qualifies for your request since this is a future!fic, and John would be likened to an absentee father. I don't want to say any more than that due to spoilers, but these are definitely worth a read through. Actually, I think that most of Wedjatqi's stories have John as father-figure for Torren.

”Happily Ever After in the Marketplace” (http://briar-pipe.livejournal.com/68551.html) by [livejournal.com profile] briar_pipe – Not exactly sure this fits since the focus is mainly on Ronon, but there are bits and pieces in there; although, John still seems a bit detached from it all. Warnings for slash – OT4 pairing.


More OT4-as-family, but again a lot of the focus seems to be Ronon, but there are also lovely bits of both John & Rodney – well worth the time to read the entire series by [livejournal.com profile] ladycat777 (the first story, only) & [livejournal.com profile] perspi (the last four stories):

1) ”Inside Your Hands” (http://ladycat777.livejournal.com/936026.html)
2) ”Beneath Your Heart” (http://perspi.livejournal.com/66217.html)
3) ”Within Your Arms” (http://perspi.livejournal.com/100510.html)
4) #5 of “Five Ways Ronon Loses His Dreads” (http://perspi.livejournal.com/85842.html)
5) #5 of “Five Days After Ronon Loses His Dreads" (http://perspi.dreamwidth.org/111084.html)


Another OT4-as-family – Torren has yet to be born, yet he's very much a part towards the end: ”Thin as tissue paper” (http://jimandblair.livejournal.com/72027.html) by [livejournal.com profile] jimandblair


The borderline stories:

”Torren's Middle Name Is John” (http://jimandblair.livejournal.com/102955.html) by [livejournal.com profile] jimandblair – babysitting / godfather duties

”Like And Unlike” (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4733078/1/Like_And_Unlike) by [livejournal.com profile] tielan – babysitting / godfather duties (just a little snippet, anyway)

”Forced Leave” (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4960731/1/Forced_Leave) by PrincessPatrice – I haven't read this one yet, but I seem to recall hearing that Torren was a part of the entire team going to Earth while John recuperated, so there may be some bits in there – but then again there may not.

Oops... forgot another borderline one...

"Trinity of One" (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/index.php?view=fic&id=88) by [livejournal.com profile] helenkacan doesn't show much in the way of Torren being parented, but the assumption is there that John assumes father / stepfather duties since he, Rodney, & Teyla form up a threesome - an excellent story even if not precisely what you're looking to read. Warnings for slash.

You're welcome! ...and Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays (whichever ones you celebrate) to you, as well.

2 more...

"A is for Atlantis, an alphabet book, by John Sheppard (with the unasked-for assistance of Rodney McKay and Ronon Dex)" (http://penknife.livejournal.com/439320.html) by [livejournal.com profile] penknife -- Pretty much self-explanatory - No direct interaction with Torren, though.

"The Pegasus Babysitters Club" (http://grammarwoman.livejournal.com/89118.html) by [livejournal.com profile] grammarwoman -- Rodney & John babysit Torren. (McShep slash)

Glimpse (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3843086/1/Glimpse) by Rubycaspar

She writes a lot of John/Teyla, worth checking out her list of fic for more on this theme, I think she also has one where John ends up raising Teyla's baby after S&R doesn't quite go as planned.

Yes it is!

Okay, well, this one is more of John assuming godfather/team-leader/babysitting duties (and the rest of the team are in on it, as well): "Family" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5310191/1/Family) by obsessed1 ([livejournal.com profile] obsessed1o1)

*squees in excitement*

For the Part 1 of your request (John is Torren's father instead of Kanaan), [livejournal.com profile] wedjatqi just posted a story, "Ninety Nine point Eight Percent" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5923981/1/Ninety_Nine_point_Eight_Percent), wherein everyone thought that Kanaan was Torren's father...but he's not.

...and there's a Companion Piece / Sequel!!

The good keeps on coming from [livejournal.com profile] wedjatqi today (she updated "Wishes")!

There's a sequel to "Ninety Nine point Eight Percent" called "Fathers and Sons" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5925473/1/Fathers_and_Sons). It's a nice little introspective piece on John's feelings about finding out he's a father.

You're welcome.

I read this one last week, & just now remembered it.... Have you read "Parallax" (http://renisanz.livejournal.com/18149.html) by [livejournal.com profile] renisanz? It's a sweet one-shot revolving around Teyla learning photography from Keller.

Not so much John as Torren's dad or step-dad, but he (as well as others) does get roped into helping Rodney babysit Torren while Teyla & Kanaan go off for an Athosian couples bonding ceremony. I was laughing so hard... anyhow, I thought you might enjoy reading it: "Hot Potato" (http://www.eternalvox.net/auburn/hotpotato.html) by Auburn ([livejournal.com profile] auburnnothenna). It's pretty much Gen!Fic, other than the Teyla/Kanaan pairing, although there are parts where slash-goggles popped out a bit for John & Rodney, but it's all about friendship. Although, seriously? You probably don't want to be drinking or eating while reading this story - it's a serious choking hazard.... :D

Thanks! It's been a while since I read that one. (And after reading that one I checked out what else was up on Auburn's site & found a few things I hadn't read.) :)
