Long John-centric Gen Fics

[arueh.livejournal.com]

Hi,

Basically ever since I read Retrograde, I been craving gen fics a lot lately especially ones that star John. So, um anything goes as long as it's gen, John-centric, and long. Thank you! :D Oh, and bonus points if it also deal with John's relationship with Atlantis and his ATA gene which set him apart from everyone else. Thanks again~

Your Cowboy Days Are Over (http://www.butcheredart.net/Fiction/YourCowboyDays.html) by samdonne and East of the Sun, West of the Moon (http://www.zonezine.net/~dossier/html/eastwest/ew.htm) by dossier jump to mind.

A few writers you might check out: miss_porcupine has lots of gen, military-focused stories, much of it with John or Lorne at center stage. friendshipper has a lot of good gen, often very John and Rodney friendship-focused stories (http://friendshipper.laylalawlor.com/index.html). I have a handful of recs for non-McShep including gen stories at http://skaredykat.livejournal.com/1083.html#cutid6

Thank you so much! They sound amazing and so many! I'm even more delighted that you gave me gen authors <333! xD

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

There are a bunch more good gen authors -- the fandom doesn't just do slash amazingly well! :) Some of them are listed in that "where's the non-McShep?" part of my readers guide post, another post you might find useful is http://xparrot.livejournal.com/70385.html, a lot of great recs there for both writers and particular stories.

I love ga-unicorn's fic. She has longer (multi-post) stories as well as shorter, and does a wonderful John as military commander and what that means.

Sorry no links on my phone and also can't log in. Stupid phone.

Solider!John “End Game” (http://kristen999.livejournal.com/261774.html)

WW2 AU written with everyetty “Long Ago (And Far Away)” (http://kristen999.livejournal.com/247944.html)

And “Imago-The Tao of John” (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=25) is an awesome “Tao of Rodney” AU of John getting caught in the ascension machine.

[arueh.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D And um... pardon me, but \o/ OMG I am a huge fan of your stories! Especially: "A Hundred Happy Things" and "Building Bombs" (I couldn't stop crying on that one).

[arueh.livejournal.com]

It's not problem at all! I'm happy just to have the names <333. Thank you so much!

[arueh.livejournal.com]

*g* So many lovely links. Good gracious, you are a godsend <333. I can't thank you enough!

[arueh.livejournal.com]

Thank you kindly <33!!

[busaikko]

*blushes* Thank you! (I read that story as podfic and cried my way through it...). Speaking of podfic! Have you read River's fic? She does great gen Sheppard as well, and some (like her Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda) is available as podfic *g*)

Gen, Longer, Involving John's Connection to Atlantis (lots of Sentient!Atlantis / AI!Atlantis):

"Help from Unexpected Places" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4009850/1/Help_from_Unexpected_Places) by Wild Force Ranger (WIP, ~87,000wds.)

"Resonance" (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/index.php?view=fic&id=21) by Jadesfire (jadesfire2808) (~46,000wds.)

"That Sinking Feeling" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3796056/1/That_Sinking_Feeling) by kashkow (~52,000wds.)

"Boys Will Be Boys" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4873126/1/Boys_Will_Be_Boys) by kashkow (de-aged!John, ~43,000wds.)

"Going Home" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3825613/1/Going_Home) by Titan5 (Not heavy on John's connection to Atlantis, in fact, more of a short blurb, but still.... ~93,000wds.)


============

"My Brother's Keeper" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4540629/1/My_Brothers_Keeper) by T'Pring (~70,000wds.)

"Irreplacable" (http://stargate-atlantis.org/fanfics/viewstory.php?sid=2431) by kashkow (~54,000wds.)

"Dog Days" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4027154/1/Dog_Days) by kashkow (Transformation!Fic, ~53,000wds.)

"The Gift of Life" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3162926/1/The_Gift_of_Life) by Titan5 (~41,000wds.)



Alright, I'm noticing a trend in my links... so, let me just say that Titan5 (http://www.fanfiction.net/~Titan5) & kashkow (http://www.fanfiction.net/~kashkow) both write a lot of John-centric stories that are medium to long in length, also check out Stealth Dragon (http://www.fanfiction.net/~StealthDragon) (kriadydragon). I would also second the rec for miss_porcupine - you can view her SGA fics at her personal site (http://offpanel.net/dmz/sga.html) where she has all of her stories listed by year with summaries.

[arueh.livejournal.com]

*glee* OMG, thank you ever so much! The word counts had me drooling and John/Atlantis, just what I was looking for! <3333 You are amazing thank you!

[arueh.livejournal.com]

EEE! I have that on my iPod and also, not suprisingly, I cried through it.

I have never read liketheriverrun fics since I didn't even know she write any (big mistake x__x) although I read some of her comics but thank you for pointing it out! :D I definitely check it out now .

[eccentricweft.livejournal.com]

My all-time favorite gen fic is I Feel the Earth Move (http://janusglance.livejournal.com/306285.html) by janusglance and I think it's pretty John-centered. John & Rodney's friendship is a major element but not the focus of the story (their friendship is strong and sustaining all the way through, but the friendship is not itself the plot - a bunch of other things are going on.) John's POV throughout.

[arueh.livejournal.com]

Oooh, this sound wonderful *g*! Thank you!

[obsessed1o1.livejournal.com]

I have a few .....

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/80826/obsessed1

[arueh.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! :D

[novembersga.livejournal.com]

Coolbreeze1 has quite a few. Kristen999, everybetty, obsessed101, wildcat88, kriadydragon, kodiak Bear, ltcoljsheppard, are just a few authors off the top of my head.

I had a huge list but my computer crashed after a windows update and I lost everything on it.

I will get back to you with specific story links and many more authors.

[arueh.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry to hear that D= and thank you so much for taking your time to reply to my post and giving me names *g*.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

you're welcome :) And if you liked Retrograde, did you read Refraction (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/refraction.htm) and Deflection (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/deflection.htm) by the same author? They're encounters with an AU where the expedition is run... a little differently. Both gen, Rodney and John center stage.

[arueh.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes I did ^-^! But thank you for mentioning them anyway because I end up rereading them *g*.

[novembersga.livejournal.com]

I don't have my list anymore but here are a few that I could remember. Also, each author has multiple gen John centric stories, so if you have time visit their page as I don't have them all listed here, just a sampling.

I know there are quite a few authors I'm leaving out but I will try to list them here later. Hope this helps.
