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).
thank you thank you thank you! i have read a few of these (Here's No Water, Spaces Inbetween, Mirrors, Self-Made, That Summer on Tattooine, and Flyboys) okay so maybe more than a few?! :) oh well, i'll certainly enjoy reading the rest! thanks
Both darkrosetiger and I have done Five Thing fics about John's past.
She wrote Five Times John Sheppard Ran Away (http://www.chezrozilla.net/runawayjohn) and Five Tracks on John Sheppard's iPod (http://www.chezrozilla.net/johnsipod) is mine.
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.

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