TW: Alcoholism

With Atlantis grounded, home feels less like reality and more of a construct for John, who starts to unravel when his feelings for Rodney are forced suddenly to the forefront.

A little bit about this fic before you go in.

Please don't let the "alcoholism" tag scare you off - this is, at its core, a McShep angst-with-a-happy-ending fic, I promise.

But.

This fic was started on the twentieth of November, 2022, during which I was battling with situational alcoholism, much what John experiences in this fic. What started a fic for personal catharsis turned into a John character study I am extremely proud and grateful for - and for the show and fandom, which were integral to the sobriety I live today (note the show and fandom are not the only reasons I am sober; hard work, a loving spouse and friends and a support network from my time in AA were the keys, SGA was a welcome and loving distraction).

AA is a tenuous subject, and I had John join the program as it is the most accessible for readers to understand due to its prevalence in popular culture and - sadly - our everyday lives. There are other ways on the path to sobriety if you do not align with AA (I do not any longer), Google is an amazing tool.

Situational alcoholism and alcoholism as a whole can happen to anyone - I am an example of that - and if you know anyone in this situation, please seek out help in your local area. There are amazing human beings and resources out there for addicts, and sobriety is one minute, one hour, one day, one month, one year at a time.

Thank you for reading this fic. I'm proud I finally finished it, and most of all, I'm proud of mine - and John's - sobriety.

/end personal crap lol

PS: bonus points if you get the Straya reference to a beloved song I slipped in.

Stargate Atlantis | Season 4 "This Mortal Coil"

[definitelynotarabbit]

I don't think we talk enough about how Stargate's wraith aka space vampires had one of the most outside the box vampire powers to ever grace TV. Like kudos to whoever said "hey fuck it we're gonna take one of the most one dimensional villain races we've ever made which can very accurately be described as space vampires and just completely blow that idea out of the water with a single scene showing that they have miles more depth than you could ever guess".

I mean come on why am I not seeing more vampire fanfic where the vamp can give life in the same manner that they can take it?! It's such a groundbreaking idea in a trope that short of this the most recent big change of pace was glitter.

That single scene where it looks like Todd just killed John but then he turns around and gives him back more years than he took? Mwah chefs kiss. Possibly the most efficient story telling I've seen.

Anyway I support queer agenda that episode suggested and am eternally devastated that Todd didn't become a Teal'c level character but with extra gay because telepathy.
