Sheppard search

[ex-oneill112.livejournal.com]

Hi looking for some where John saves Earth or even some big wig that gains him respect or a species in the Milky Way and becomes allies with Earth thanks to John. Or even when John goes on the suicide mission before Atlantis got their and someone like the media got a hold of his and Sam's conversation and the word got out about SGC. Would also love along these lines where General Landry either learns to respect or tolerate John also former commanders of his do the same. I'll take any pairings or none at all, don't really matter to me. Thank you!

Not quite what you're looking for, but John got praise instead of a black mark, and made Jack's 2IC. Copying the rec I made in my journal —

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG-1
Fanwork Links: Saving Captain Holland
Creator Links: Daisy_May or Daisy May on Quantum Bang
Category: Slash
Rating: NC-17
Length: 78,500 words

Summary: When Major Sheppard saved Lyle Holland from certain death in Afghanistan, he had no idea of the impact it would have on his life. Barely twenty-four hours after the rescue, he was promoted and on a spaceship. He was promoted again after almost losing his life in the Battle of Antarctica, but where Goa’uld are concerned, sometimes friends turn out to be enemies.

Reccer's Notes: Instead of a black mark for saving a man, John gets a promotion and becomes Jack’s 2IC at SGC. He doesn't go with the expedition to Atlantis, and neither does Rodney. Gradually, Jack, John, and Rodney begin to realize that things are problematic in the upper echelons of politics and military command... and it's spreading. They can't know how bad things will get, but find friends -- and enemies -- in unexpected places as they begin to plan to gather people and evacuate if necessary.
        This is the SGC we know, but from seemingly minor changes, they head in a completely different direction. This story is well-told, engrossing, and well worth the read.

Pairings: John/Rodney   and   Jack/Patrick Sheppard
