Speaking of Ronon: hard earned wisdom, written in ink in his skin, illegible to anyone else. A Broader Mark for Sorrow.
Speaking of Destina (happy birthday, Des!), her friends have mounted a campaign to celebrate the day of her birth, and many beautiful Jack/Daniel stories have been gifted from the Pouncer, Elishavah, Jenlev, Troyswann (whoa), Katie M, Shalott (pornographic G rated pie!), Cofax (post descension fic Whiskey and Dust) in
ahem. This one goes last (but not least):
You will not be chasing this story with anything else. It doesn't matter that it's labeled Sheppard gen (or /OFC) or that it's long and plotty and heartbreaking... or perhaps it's because of those things, but no other fic will be able to follow it. It will take over your head and you will fall in love with a John who will trust you with his life but not that of someone he's protecting, who has depth and backstory in spades and is hurting and sweet and Not Fucking Around. A John like this would have my undivided attention on screen, and even on the page I sat down and read this straight through to the end (did I mention it's long? and that the pacing is marvelous?) and cried, twice, before it was over. Add to that Teyla, (and Rodney, and Ronon, and everyone else) and I'm toast.
