*HR waves* 'Ello again. So it looks like I do indeed get to rec for the John Sheppard category this month, so without further ado...

Oh, and note that the rating is provided by the reccer.

Why This Must Be Read: Though it is short, this is an excellent glimpse into John's mind. It is a quiet look into his feelings at the beginning of the series and his thoughts during the time when he is becoming the Military Leader of Atlantis.

Why This Must Be Read: This should be read because it is deeply disturbing and yet, somehow you can't turn away, precisely because it is so real and disturbing. It is a well written and intensely preceptive look into John's character and how his mind might have been working as he transformed.

Why This Must Be Read: My usual humor preferences involve fics where the characters behave perfectly normally (well, as normal as SG-1 ever is) but are faced with bizarre circumstances. This fic is very, very different, with various fan favorites acting completely OOC…

And yet I love it anyway.

That’s probably because of Hammond, who is delightfully in character throughout. On the day after Halloween, he faces down the most incredible group of shame-faced people, including SG-1, Bra’tac, Jacob Carter, Thor, and an Ascended Daniel, scolding them for their inappropriate behavior. (The role Jack plays with Thor is scarily appropriate.) Then you get to the final line, and discover the little twist that shows that George Hammond is always, always solidly in control.

It’s short and silly and fluffy and it will make you giggle. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?
