I liked the simple fact that each individual story got longer as you read them, and perhaps relevantly, the longer ones were more the ones that I actually see, through the goggles of my limited involvement, as the most likely to happen. John/Rodney, to me, is far more realistic than John/Elizabeth.
I...hmmm. I'm obviously viewing the canon through a certain lens myself - and I'm not viewing the whole canon, either, which definitely affects my opinion - but...yeah. I can see John/Elizabeth happening in disaster AUs, especially ones like in LTLJ's story, where Elizabeth is a Goa'uld. But for me it has to be a narrative about unequal power and the abuse of same (side note: that's one of the reasons I like the John-written-as-a-girl theory). But John/Elizabeth in the canon as we know it is tough. Actually, John/anyone is tough, but...I especially don't see John/Elizabeth.
John/Rodney, well, at least Rodney's got a free pass into the Sheppard No Touch Zone, and that's got to help.
So in my opinion they do get more likely as you go on, although I would say the John/Teyla is an exception to that; I'd consider that about as likely as the John/Ford scenario she describes.
In the first one, did Jack’s son inexplicably remind anyone else of Daniel?
*thinks*
I totally didn't get that, but now, obviously, I'm going to re-read it with that in mind, 'cause that's an interesting statement.
I was kind of vague on what was going on, but I was enthralled either way.
Most definitely. The one thing I think you really need to know to get that story is that there's a bodyswap episode of Farscape, in which John -> Aeryn's body, Aeryn -> Rygel's body, Rygel -> John's, Chiana -> D'Argo's, D'Argo -> Pilot's, Pilot -> Chiana's. If you didn't know that, I would think the last one would be...a bit bewildering.
