Why This Must Be Read: This is a Stargate: Atlantis extension tomaychorian's delightful JACKNDEAN verse, the first story of which has already been recommended here.

From a galaxy far, far away, John Sheppard is unexpectedly yanked into the Supernatural world of a young Sam Winchester, and finds himself playing reluctant mentor to the precocious lad. With deft characterisation and snappy dialogue, the author draws a heart-warming (and hilarious!) picture of two very different individuals bonding under some highly unusual circumstances. I certainly don't want to give away too much of the story, but highlights include John popping into and out of closets, a haunted house, werewolves, and a reference to The Joker .

 

Story snippet:

McKay told him not to go in that room. He told him more than once, probably, but John couldn't remember for sure. There had been something about abnormal readings and sciency crap and Zelenka hanging at his elbow with those enormous eyes, nodding along, very serious, all Don't go in that room, it's a very bad idea.

But c'mon. It was just a dinky little closet thing. A cute dinky little closet thing with some kind of engravings on the wall, not a transport, John was sure, not remotely like that. And it called to him, he was positive. And sometimes you just had to check out the closet, you know? So he did.

And that was when he realized that McKay and Zelenka probably knew what they were talking about, after all.

While it is set in the same universe, it works as a stand-alone: I suppose you don't strictly need to know what happens in the other four stories (which feature Jack O'Neill and Dean Winchester) to be able to follow this one. But I insist you read them anyway - they are not to be missed!
