Failed Stockholm Syndrome

[gwendolynflight.livejournal.com]

Hey, are there any fics where one of the characters (well, okay, John) is subjected to a Stockholm-y situation but it doesn't take? I don't mean the classic itertion of the syndrome, I mean the fanfic kind, where someone drags off a character and tries to turn them to the dark side or whatever. I'd really like something where someone tries to brainwash Sheppard and fails. And then John blows stuff up. ^_^ Oh, and I'm easy on pairings - gen, McShep, Sheppard/anyone else, whatever. Thanks!

Well it's McShep and it's definitely failed Stockholm Syndrome, but sorry, it's Rodney not John who's subjected to it: The Dark Side (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/The%20Dark%20Side.html) by astolat

A sort of Stockholmy thing doesn't quite take with John in ltlj's Deflection (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/deflection.htm), which can be read as a sequel to or in the same verse as Refraction (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/refraction.htm), both gen.

Jury's out on whether it stuck in this one, but overall I think it fits your request. And it is John who's kidnapped.

Awesome, thanks! These both look great.

It's Always Autumn in the Old Trees of Despair (http://kodiak-bear.livejournal.com/53379.html) has attempted brainwashing/Stockholm syndrome that doesn't work completely, but John doesn't blow up stuff in the end and there's a lot of trauma and torture. Gen.

Awesome, thanks so much!

There's also the fic "In the City of Seven Walls by Auburn. The *not exactly* brainwashing doesn't work, but its AWESOME!

You might try Overload by Lorr - it has a brainwashed Sheppard who "tries" to blow stuff up.

Sadly, while I read that once, it was such a shattering experience I'll never read it again. Every moment is seared into my brain! I get flashbacks! ::traumatized:: All compliments to the author, of course, for managing to create such an experience. Novels aren't often experiences, in themselves.

Hm, might give it a try. Thanks!

It took me a while to remember this one:

Betrayal by Diamond_Raven (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=13166) John is brainwashed via an ancient device into torturing Rodney for codes to unlock the city. He breaks the programming and ass-kicking ensues. McShep.

Yay, thanks!
