John crying

[ultimatemarysue.livejournal.com]

Ok, I've looked through the bottom!John and mcshep tags but didn't find what I'm looking for. I'm looking for fics where John (in character) breaks down and cries. I don't want frou frou, touchy feely John. I want emotionally retarded, it takes a metric ton of shit to make this boy cry John. So, I'm ok with death!fics. Esp if Rodney's death is what makes John cry.

Hit me with your best shot, y'all. I've currently got two fics that fit this bill and I wrote one so it doesn't count. (The other is one I can't remember exactly right now, but people decide to leave Atlantis through faking their deaths and when Rodney fakes his death it's all too much for John and he cries.) Note -- that parenthetical is NOT a fic which I'm currently seeking. I've got it bookmarked and it's well loves.

Otherwise, give me your weepy John Sheppards...

Thanks!

I Got Soul But I'm Not A Soldier (http://minervacat.livejournal.com/951835.html) by minervacat. McShep, ~13,800 words, one of the really goodsad deathfics.

Sistinas (http://archiveofourown.org/works/60145) by surreallis. gen, ~2100 words, major character deaths.

A Beautiful Lifetime Event (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/lifetime_event.html) by astolat post-S1 AU, McShep, ~29,600 words, happy ending. John is a bit more touchy-feely than in canon though.

Through The Looking Glass (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/695456.html) by spacebabe. McShep? ~3800 words, permanent amnesia.

the fifth story in Five Objects of Desire (http://spike21.livejournal.com/518346.html) by harriet_spy and spike21. gen, addiction.

(For other interested readers, I think the second one you refer to in your post is Who's Left and Who's Leaving (http://fiercelydreamed.talkoncorners.net/main/archives/stargate-atlantis/whos-left-and-whos-leaving) by fiercelydreamed)

Could you please supply a link to the 'parenthetical' fic you referenced? Thanks.

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Please tag your post, thanks!

[ultimatemarysue.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks! I can't wait to check them out!

[ultimatemarysue.livejournal.com]

What a list, thanks! There's even an apocafic in there, which I love!

[ultimatemarysue.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for all of these! I can't wait to read them!

[ultimatemarysue.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I generally love Lavvyan's stuff, thanks!

[ultimatemarysue.livejournal.com]

skaredykat linked it above. It's Who's Left and Who's Leaving (http://fiercelydreamed.talkoncorners.net/main/archives/stargate-atlantis/whos-left-and-whos-leaving) by fiercelydreamed. It's a great story!

[ultimatemarysue.livejournal.com]

Oops, sorry! Will do so now!

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yummy yummy apocafic... (I reread The Hard Prayer (http://www.goldenmaze.com/hardprayer.htm) to see if it would fit, but despite its apocafic awesomeness and several John-breaking-down scenes, it didn't include John explicitly crying.)

Also, another (funny) one, back online: The Second Time (http://franticsga.livejournal.com/677.html) (from the "Five Times Rodney McKay Surprised the Hell Out of John Sheppard" series) by franticsga. short, McShep.

Oh, I *love* The Hard Prayer! I love how completely messed up they both are in it.

This one ALWAYS makes me cry. You want to know the funny thing is? How HARD it is to read the BLEEPING story. I get tears in my eyes and I have to get up and wipe them dry. (watery smile) I miss stuff and then I re-read it again.

Get a box of Tissue.

Rodney passed away and John is TRYING to go through his stuff. (A.U.)
