Why This Must Be Read: Here's one I think most people will have forgotten, if they ever discovered it. Two ficlets about John who's left the Air Force after the black mark disaster - but he also has an injury causing double vision, and starts to write poetry. I know - very much an AU! But someinstant is such a great writer, I can believe it. From the author's notes, as the fics are too short for an excerpt:

Why This Must Be Read: This was one of the first fics I read by respoftw, and one of the first SGA fics too, so it has a special place in my heart. John chose the Air Force over Rodney when they were young, and now that it's chewed him up and spit it back out he starts wondering "what if"?
