Failed Stockholm Syndrome

[gwendolynflight]

Hey, are there any fics where one of the characters (well, okay, John) is subjected to a Stockholm-y situation but it doesn't take? I don't mean the classic itertion of the syndrome, I mean the fanfic kind, where someone drags off a character and tries to turn them to the dark side or whatever. I'd really like something where someone tries to

Well it's McShep and it's definitely failed Stockholm Syndrome, but sorry, it's Rodney not John who's subjected to it: The Dark Side by astolat

A sort of Stockholmy thing doesn't quite take with John in ltlj's Deflection, which can be read as a sequel to or in the same verse as Refraction, both gen.

Jury's out on whether it stuck in this one, but overall I think it fits your request. And it is John who's kidnapped.

Very cool! Thanks. ^_^

It's Always Autumn in the Old Trees of Despair has attempted brainwashing/Stockholm syndrome that doesn't work completely, but John doesn't blow up stuff in the end and there's a lot of trauma and torture. Gen.

Awesome, thanks so much!

There's also the fic "In the City of Seven Walls by Auburn. The *not exactly* brainwashing doesn't work, but its AWESOME!

Sadly, while I read that once, it was such a shattering experience I'll never read it again. Every moment is seared into my brain! I get flashbacks! ::traumatized:: All compliments to the author, of course, for managing to create such an experience. Novels aren't often experiences, in themselves.

You might try Overload by Lorr - it has a brainwashed Sheppard who "tries" to blow stuff up.
