BAMF!John and/or Underappreciated!John (Preferred McShep longfic)

[wait4stardust.livejournal.com]

I know the titile seems ridiculous but I am really in the mood for badass John, and even better if he is BAMF, but someone (or everyone) underappreciated him.

I read a fic of SG-1 in which John was a professional thief with two Ph.Ds. Long story short he infiltrated SGC in order to steal information for Ba'al; he was indeed a brilliant mathematician who could correct/improve/assist Rodney's works.

So I am looking for any fic in which John was one of the brightest minds on earth, prefered if he got one (or some) Ph.D(s).

If he was a veteran from Navy/Marine/USAF/etc, and then some it would be spectacular.

It can be reversed as someone underappreciate him and his BAMF!soldier-self because of his appearance as a academic.

In a nutshell: John is a lot more than what he shows.

I will appreciate anything from canon divergence, canon AU, AU, but I preferred McShep, and yes I can read gen or other pairings if they are slash involved John. The average length of my favourite fic is around 120k word but I can read basically anything you give me from 5000 words to 500.000 words (I barely read any fanfic under 1000 words)

Typical example:
Thief!John: No Good Deed (John/Mitchel)
Keira Marcos' stories (Ties that Binds, The Sentinel of Atlantis, etc)
Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves by auburn (McShep)
Divergent Paths: Glimpses of the Future by puddleofgoo (McShep)
Man on the Ground by Brumeier (McShep)

Oooo. Great question. I hope there are more answers. I love Ordinary Life. That would have been my rec too.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing has John as a successful, professional thief!

Thank you ❤❤

You're welcome! I'm still going over fics in my mind. Do you want explicit BAMFness? If you don't mind kink either, in Xanthe's BDSM Universe, AU!John becomes a General when "our" John is still just a Colonel. Plus, he's just cool, in those fics XD

Xanthe fic is the leading cause to SGA fandom for me lol I love reading kinky stuff so you can imagine how much I adore Keira Marcos and Xanthe lmao.

Funny enough I read "Hinding in plain sight" much earlier than General and Dr. Sheppard, yet I only come to basically drowning in McShep after got myself sucked into fandom with General and Dr. Sheppard.

I really really adore you and your pinboard. I bookmarked them for later reference even. I was kinda scared that I annoyed you with my persistance. This reply assured me A LOT. Thank you ❤❤

If you remember any BAMF!John, just throw them at me. I love BAMF!John A LOT :all my fav fics are either Harry Stu!John/flawless!John/BAMF!John. My taste is that simple :and boring, and shallow

[popkin16]

LOL I see. Have you read A Life Less Ordinary? It's a kinky McShep fic that is over one million words.

Oh man, I'm so glad you like my pinboard :D I have worked hard on it, and though I think it needs more work to be truly comprehensive, I am proud of what I have.

You're very welcome :D I'll keep in mind any BAMF!John that I can think of - sometimes I get in the mood for the same stuff you like lol.

I am aware of that series. I kinda read it on and off. At the moment I am still during the third story, and that series just doesn't click me, so it is quite hard to read the whole series uninterruptedly. Thank you tho xx

[popkin16]

You're welcome :)
