John's Concussion Induced Dream and What Went Wrong
Per threnodyjones's request, I was supposed to add this to my fic round up. It was originally posted here. I'm also supposed to continue it, but am currently brain dead from my accounts here at work. Anyone want to jump in?
Reposting it here for archiving purposes because you all know I'll forget where I put it otherwise:
Title: John's Concussion Induced Dream and What Went Wrong
Spoilers: Um, everything?
Premise: It's not that the plot and storytelling got screwed up the past few years, it's just that it's all been a horrific, concussion induced dream.
Notes: I need a drink.
Disclaimer: The usual.
Er, needless to say, spoilers for the last ep...

John's Concussion Induced Dream and What Went Wrong:
- Robots are cool, until they try to kill you all. Then you have to think up ways to escape them time and time again. Eventually, that gets old and you try to come up with new enemies. This gets harder as you use up all the stuff you've seen before.
- Fearing he's not allowed to be gay, even when light years away from his superior officers, he dreams that Teyla is pregnant in an attempt to come up with a "family" scenario. Unfortunately, some of his high school biology sinks in and he remembers you need both a man and a woman for that to happen, and that he can't touch her or both she and Rodney will kick his ass, so he comes up with a convoluted boyfriend for her. Said boyfriend is, of course, a mutant because you can't have him blocking the familial bliss, until he realizes kids need parents and then he'd need to make the mutant better but maybe he could find a bad guy to throw into the mix so he could rush and save the day?
- His unconscious tried to tell him he's missing something important but he accidentally goes on a tangent that Teyla, and therefore his happy family-type thing that's not his family but close to his family because he can totally borrow it on the weekends, is missing something, like an entire settlement - oops!
- He has trouble concentrating and/or is trying to send himself a message that it's all a dream, so he keeps changing who's in charge of the city. Had it gone on for another season, it would have been Doctor Lee.
- Rodney keeps trying to talk to him to get him out of his coma-like state, but so does the new doctor as she runs her tests and somehow that gets convoluted into the two of them together and him left on the sidelines again because he secretly has low self-esteem and most of these issues could have been resolved it he just got over it already.
- He keeps torturing/killing Ronon because his mind has made the connection between Ronon's last name being Dex, and his friend Dex that died in Afghanistan but appeared to him in his last fake vision thingy.
- They make it to Earth because he thinks Earth = Home, until he runs into the fake Dex guy again and realizes it was all a horrible dream and he runs back to a fading Atlantis, reaching it just in time before it's buried in the sand dunes of Antarctica (he never was good at geography), and finally wakes up, safe and sound in Atlantis.
When he tells Rodney about all these horrible dreams, McKay slaps him upside the head, lovingly calls him a doofus, and then they make out a lot.

Your turn. :)
