Sheppard in love (slash or het)

[writinginct.livejournal.com]

Looking for longer fics (or shorter pieces in a longer series) that have John Sheppard falling in love.  Not the hearts and flowers and twelve-yr-old girl kind of love, I mean the type where he slowly comes to realize that the person is important to him and actually lets them in and lets them see the real him for better or worse.  Not so much that he gets hits with the clue bus because he's oblivious, but rather his own feelings surprise him. 

As far as specifics go, Sheppard pairs up well with most people for me- men and women.  So either way (or even in a triad) would be fine.  I'd really prefer to skip pairings with Elizabeth or Teyla (sorry, those pairings are just not my cuppa), and if it's slash, it would be nice to see John paired with a man other than Rodney (I've positively glutted myself on McShep). 

AU's are cool, as are OMC's or OFC's. 

Any rating, and I'm open for most BDSM/kink.

Extra cookies for the really odd pairings like:  John/Sam Carter, John/Cadman, John/Heightmeyer, John/Jeannie Miller, John/Mitchell, or John/Daniel for example.

Thanks bunches - I'll go put fresh coffee on and preheat the oven for cookies while you think it over.  ^.^

1. Becoming Connor David by Race the Ace. Amazing story and really, really long. But, very, very satisfying.

2. For John/Cam stories, go here:
http://community.livejournal.com/sg_flyboys/
There are LOTS of fics there.

3. Bluflamingo: http://bluflamingo.livejournal.com/
You have to check out her Return 'verse. It's awesome!

I forgot....

Becoming Connor Davids, it's John/OMC (Connor Davids).

I can't recommend that one enough. It's AMAZING.

I almost recc'd you one of your own stories :-)

you probably already know about the big John/Cam list, but I really like the Discontinuity series by slyberian http://slybrarian.dreamwidth.org/29475.html

I also like Crusade in Jeans by Mystic, but it is a John/Rodney/Jack one

for certain values of realizing he actually cares: At the Hour When We Are Trembling (http://frostfire-17.livejournal.com/112600.html) by frostfire_17. The apocalypse brings John and Daniel together. Really well done, ~36,000 words.

Imaginary Boys (http://archiveofourown.org/works/90435) by busaikko. Sheppard cares about Cameron but isn't sure that's a good idea... Another really well done story, ~27,500 words.

Broken Pieces by WritinginCT
http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=14877

This is the only John Sheppard/Jeannie Miller I've ever found, and liked

Awesome! lol poking around sg_flyboys was what initially prompted this request!

"Becoming Connor David" looks interesting, I skimmed the first section last night, definitely need a nice chunk of time to read that one! :D

Thanks!

[writinginct.livejournal.com]

lol which one? Broken Pieces or Counting in Days? I've gotten two pm's already recc'ing both of those to me from folks not realizing I wrote them! Too funny! But it's nice to know my stuff sticks with people :)

I don't think I've read that series... will check it out :)

I think I might have read that one by Mystic, lol I spent a lot of time reading a few months back and John/Rodney/Jack sounds vaguely familar.

Thanks! :D

[writinginct.livejournal.com]

Frostfire's is a classic, and I love aphoca!fic - definitely worth a re-read :D

I haven't see "Imaginary Boys" - will check it out, Sheppard and Mitchell are a great pairing!

Thanks!!

[writinginct.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed "Broken Pieces". I wish there was more John/Jeannie fic out there. lol and you're the third person to recc me my own fic. It's nice to know it was so memorable :)

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

kink, you said? mpreg that isn't 100% humor/crack, usually not my thing. But this John/Jennifer mpreg fic (I read it based on (http://kanata.dreamwidth.org/profile)kyuuketsukirui/kanata (http://kanata.dreamwidth.org/)'s rec (http://kanata.dreamwidth.org/1320101.html))
is surprisingly sweet and makes me buy the pairing: Backdoor Baby (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_kinkmeme/3923.html?thread=575059) by anonymous. ~12,300 words; John realizing he's fallen for Jennifer is more implicit than completely explicit though.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

If you like John/Jeannie, have you seen scrollgirl's Brightest Heaven series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/2257)? Don't quite recall if it was UST or got resolved, but remember it as an enjoyably written women-centric "Jeannie goes to Atlantis instead of Rodney" story.

[hellbells101.livejournal.com]

http://keiramarcos.com/stargate-atlantis-fan-fiction/dark-places-in-the-soul-series/ - the latter stories have Cadman/Sheppard

[doomsdaybrnete.livejournal.com]

Whoops! Didn't look at the name, I usually only have a limited time online so I only look at the post not the author. I'm usually an exclusive McShep fan but that one was so well done, in my opinion, that I had to add it to my collection. I'm happy to be able to tell you directly how much I liked it.

[writinginct.livejournal.com]

I don't think I read that one- as it wasn't listed as romance. Will have to take a look though - I love scrollgirl's stuff :D

[writinginct.livejournal.com]

lol I do that :) I'm glad you liked enough to recc it to others :D
