This was lovely and I could so picture a young Shep just like this. Cause he just never sees it coming and never will, even when he wants it/to.

Great job.

Oh, thank you for commenting!

I'm glad you enjoyed it and this Sheppard rang true to you. In my head it's part of a larger backstory but *laughs* this was lying around as a first chapter of that.

Thanks again.

I enjoyed this story a lot. :) wonderful look at John as a teenager. :)

saeva July 2 2006, 04:35:17 UTC

I'm glad you enjoyed this. And this is so what John looks like as a teen in my head. Awkward and angry and trying to contain it so much.

Thanks for commenting!

Liked this a lot. You planning on writing more John backstory? I'd love it if you would.

saeva July 2 2006, 07:31:40 UTC

I'm glad you liked it!

I wasn't really planning on it -- most of this was written with, or with encouragement from, a friend -- and I have other projects in the works at the moment. I just found this on my HD, buried somewhere, and realized it fit the Earthside challenge. *laughs*

Still, it's backstory for a larger universe so I might more of it someday.

I really enjoyed this. Is this part of a larger universe you write where more of the background you hinted at is explored?

saeva July 2 2006, 07:49:27 UTC

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

As for the question, the answer is yes and no. It is part of a larger universe I (and a friend) write wherein we developed a backstory for John. But. None of that is really in postable condition since it contains a daughter of John Sheppard's (from his young, disasterous marriage with Lauren *laughs*) and we didn't think the response would be worth the effort editing.

So, yes and no. I might write some in this universe myself that is postable now that I've seen this didn't totally fail.
