John backstory

[skipperroo.livejournal.com]

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some fic that includes a backstory for John. Ship doesn't matter, slash, het, gen, it's all good :). Though, I'm not too crazy about Shep/Weir. Thanks!

I think Background Noise (http://pamelasite.net/bn.html) by misspamela might have what you're looking for, especially John's Story (although you really should read Rodney's and Theirs as well; together they make an excellent whole).

One of the all time best: Intersections by Kaneko
(http://www.anyroad.org/kaneko/intersections.html)

It ties up John and Rodeny's back stories and is just SO sweet.

Shielded in My Armor (http://nakedwesley.livejournal.com/67560.html) by nakedwesley is good too. It's mostly a John/Rodney story, but there's some good John backstory in there too.
