Today's topic: Family.

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for five types of fics today.

#1. Stories where John's ex Nancy plays a part, isn't vilified, and where her and John's marriage isn't dismissed as being love-less or a marriage of convenience.

#2. Stories featuring Ronon and Teyla's parents.

#3. Stories about John spending time with Torren.

#4. Stories about Dave Sheppard.

#5. Stories about Jeannie Miller where the focus is on her life and her feelings, and not Rodney's.

Thank you in advance.

for 2, Steadfast, Loyal, and True (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/653733.html) by Hth features Ronon's backstory including his parents/family. (~22,000 words, eventual Ronon/Teyla)

Thank you. That looks excellent.

Hth writes good Ronon. And good Teyla. :)
There are more nice bits of Ronon and of Teyla's bacstory in The Bee Charmer (http://archiveofourown.org/works/28910) (also Ronon/Teyla, ~7700 words)
Actually all of Hth's fics SGA that prominently feature Ronon or Teyla -- i.e., many of them -- have intriguing bits of backstory (including family though not necessarily parents) in them and are worth (re)reading. Warning, some are very sad though, and not all are on the AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/users/Hth/pseuds/Hth/works?selected_tags[]=70) but require some digging (http://hth-the-first.livejournal.com) and wayback machining (http://web.archive.org/web/20080123101154/hth.gatefiction.com/atlantis.htm).

She does. I really love her John/Ronon stuff. :)

Just a thought, but for your request #4, some of the stories recced for request #2 in this search should work: http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/819706.html :)

Also, doesn't exactly fit for #4 (though it does for #1 -- how Rodney meets Nancy is hilarious, and Nancy's kind of awesome) but it's really good and a lot of it is about Dave's absence and what that turns out to mean to John: toomuchplor's How Not to Fly (http://archiveofourown.org/works/122131), (McShep, ~56,650 words, and short sequels (http://archiveofourown.org/series/5062))
