Okay, not sure if anyone's going to answer this one but it's sure worth a try... but here it is, a meme I snagged from bluflamingo's journal (with her permission ;)):

Either:
1. Give me a character and a story and I'll tell you three things about them that didn't make the story (or)
2. Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after ( Read more... )

random, plot bunnies, we're all lemmings

1. One thing that surprised John, one he was glad about and one he is afraid of:

#1 Mr. Woolsey's reaction to the IOA approving of changing the rules in Atlantis - John would have never expected Woolsey to just smile and congratulate him on his success.

#2 That it was Lorne instead of Ronon who needed to be broken out of jail by marriage - John just wasn't in the mood for the drama that might have ensued if Keller and Ronon would have been forced to make something official everyone (apart from Rodney) is suspecting them of doing anyway.

#3 That one day he'll have to tell either Lorne or Cadman that their partner is permanently lost and that he couldn't prevent it - John always has diffculties with writing another letter to another husband or wife or couple of parents but having to tell Lorne or Cadman is something he is, for various reasons, actually afraid of.

2. John and Teyla, after Show the World - I chose a point after Laura talking to Teyla in the sequel, Good Intentions"Hello, John," she says ( ... )

Thank you, thank you. Love it. John being obtuse until even HE can't stand it anymore is awesome. I can't wait to see it in future fic in the series ( ... )

I like Ronon beating Rodney out to Keller in your version of things. They have a lot more chemistry than how that played out in canon.

Absolutely. McKeller just didn't make any sense (and if I understood jo_graham's hints about the Stargate Legacy book series correctly, they decided to break it up there... it'll never count as canon canon but for me an official book series is confirmation enough ;)) and I just can't bring myself to accept that part of canon. But yeah... the whole thing could have been pretty funny with Jen and Ronon... I think I'll try to find a point in the PAS-verse where I pay a little more attention to them again.

Agreed on John as general EXCEPT he's obviously more of a career soldier and patriotic than anyone except miss_porcupine gives him credit for to make more than twenty years and through some awful treatmentMh, okay, good point. However, I had the feeling that he chose the Air Force because above all they would let him fly (or do some 'real' soldiering, respectively) and I'm not sure if he could handle (and want ( ... )

Huh, it did that a while ago to a lot of other people... maybe mail someone from tech support?

Agreed on why John chose AF but he's committed his life to them at this point with all the acceptance and even grudging fondness of its strengths and weaknesses that anyone has after twenty plus years of marriage (of a sort).

Great comparison actually... Seen like that it makes sense. He can't really live with her/it but he can't live without her/it, either.

I can see John heading up homeworld as we both imagine (now that I've infected you, evil laugh) and driving his aides and everyone else nuts by disappearing to fly anything he can and participate in missions.

Argh, I can see that as well. Plenty of opportunities for crack bunnies and clueless minions subordinates running around like headless chicken or some of the more senior ones having fun misleading the younger ones or them having to cover John's ass to the higher ups... Argh! You are evil!

Please, please write it now! But I have so many ( ... )

But I have so many other unfinished stories on my hard drive. I can't start another one!

Exactly! If you start another story that isn't already in the rotation it will throw off the alignment of the planets and the stars and the bunnies will get you. *cues creepy stalker bunny music*

Also I will then be forced to bomb the bunnies and that wouldn't do now would it?

Also, sorry for the delay in responding. LJ didn't notify me that you replied.
