OK I GIVE UP, I HAVE TO KNOW.

WHERE IS THE CANON THAT SAYS JOHN (Sheppard, SGA) COMES FROM A MILITARY BACKGROUND? where where where where where? Did I miss it in my marathoning? was it one of the tidbits you miss when you watch television at four in the morning? Or did the SGA fandom make some kind of collective decision? Have some kind of hallucination/revelatory vision? What?

Have you read that fic where his parents are both hippy teachers? It's really good.

And apparently the novelisation of Rising does play up the Super Specialness of Sheppard's thing with Atlantis, so that's not all fanon.

Oh, dude, no! (or I don't think so, I have been on a massive fic binge the last three weeks.) Who's it by/how can I hunt it down?

Oh. Well... okaaaaay, I guess.

A Better Fate (http://chelle.slashcity.org/atlantis/betterfate.shtml). One of my favourite comfort pieces.

Yeah. It's not my favourite thing ever, either. Have you read Three Fates? There's that one and this other one I can never remember the title of which have freaked me a bit out with the Sheppard/Atlantis thing. The second one is about an Atlantis that has become part of a culture of aliens, and Sheppard is a hologram and Rodney lost an eye. It's ohgoddepressing.

Awesome, something to read in bed tonight :) thanks.

It doesn't bother me tooooo much, but I confess I'm not thrilled by it the way some people seem to be. I haven't read either of the ones you mentioned, I think because I uh. Well, I'm following my normal fandom reading pattern, which is: pick an OTP (or occasionally OT3). Read EVERYTHING. pick a minor pairing probably starring one of the OTP, read EVERYTHING, rinse, repeat, and I picked McShep as my pairing and, well, I don't think I'm going to be done for a month? And I read well over 100,000 words a day. Next time I think I'll pick a smaller OTP, but yeah, that does sound HORRIFYING. I hate it when my favourite characters a random creations of alien AI life-forces. :-/

Tannhauser Gate (http://trinityofone.unrealwords.com/tannhauser.html) summary: Atlantis didn't love him any more than Troy loved its wooden horse.

I do pretty much the same. I didn't even know was SGA was when I read my first McShep (daemonolgoy. So much win.) I blame SGA fic for my inattention and crappy grades. I've been in the fandom for over a year and a bit now, I should have run out of fic.

I've been rewatching early seasons and S3 on Prime. If they do go for Teyla/Sheppard in season 4 it'll be really, really out of left field. In the scene in Common Ground when they first get the view of Sheppard tied to the chair (heh, producers: your kink is very much okay) when the torturing starts they have Rodney object first, reactions shots of Elizabeth, Rodney, and Genii man. You don't see Teyla's expression (and then with Ronon) until the end of the shot. Over thinking yeah, but just something I noticed on rewatch.
