Rec Category: John Sheppard
Characters: John Sheppard/various OCs, John Sheppard/Atlantis, Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Carson Beckett, Elizabeth Weir, Caldwell
Categories: M/M, F/M, M/M/F, Other
Words: 6017
Warnings: In the first vignette John and the other boy are 14 or younger (kissing only), and it's possible the other boy's his brother. Some dubcon in the Atlantis story, and alien orgy performance art in the last one (humorously told).
Author on DW: n/a
Author's Website: M's old site on Wayback, and I previously saved Wayback links to all the still-available ones and listed them here.
Link: Intimacy of Man on Wayback
Why This Must Be Read: This is by "M", the author of Your Cowboy Days Are Over whose work is now only on Wayback. It follows John from ages 14 to 40 through a series of encounters with varying degrees of intimacy. The writing's gorgeous, and they're all character studies of John to some degree, with other Atlantis characters occurring in the final two stories. It's extremely good.

Link: Go ask Sheppard
Author’s summary: John gets shrunk to doll-size, hijinks ensue.
Why This Must Be Read: I truly love this gorgeous and thoughtful fic by Mas_pebbles_sharp. It has everything you could want from a story—a wonderful, exciting plot with a heartwarming, caring Rodney after John is shrunk to doll size by an Ancient device, and all its dire but also sweet consequences. This story will touch you to the core, revealing long-lasting, neatly stored-away feelings as well as unstoppable ones pushing to the surface. It’s written so beautifully, showing so much vulnerability and deep understanding, and it rewards you with an emotional, truly soulful happy ending.
