Why This Must Be Read: And for my final 'crack taken seriously' rec this month - animal transformations! In this story, a minority of humans transform cyclically into a variety of animals - John himself transforms into a mountain lion each month. People like John are called weres, and the fic has some great world-building about discrimination against the were community, were politics, were splinter groups, and John's place in all this. Rodney's running a research project to try and help weres control their cycles, and he and John fall for each other. There's lots of plot and drama, a very hot relationship, and overall it's an interesting and gripping AU. Very much recommended.
John stared at the screen. "A crafting background...?" he muttered, shaking his head before hitting the back button on his browser. He didn't even know why he was looking at this category; all the manufacturing jobs either called for skills he didn't have or things he didn't have.
Like a Driver's License that without a big damn shiny holographic W stamped on the bottom right hand corner of his picture.
Schilling Manufacturing is an equal opportunity employer. M/F/D/V/W
"Sure you are," he said. He scribbled the information down, but he was pretty sure that, while he might actually get an interview with them, just so their HR department could show that they really were an EOE, he wouldn't get the job.
He shouldn't have been doing this right now, not at this point in his cycle when he was restless and edgy and his temper felt frayed and worn. But really, he was kind of tired of fighting to make ends meet, and deep down underneath it all was the feeling that, at forty-two, he was going nowhere.
There wasn't anything else that he even remotely qualified for and he had a few more minutes, so he checked his email. Spam, spam, yet another letter from the Courage Campaign: did he know that the Governor had used his line veto to cut money from....
He trashed it without reading all of it. Of course he knew; really, anyone who was either surprised or expected the vetoes to be overridden was an idiot.
There was also a note from Ronon asking if he was busy over the weekend and, if not, did he remember that there was a WFC meeting on Saturday afternoon?
John felt a little guilty about forgetting the meeting and even more guilty when he realized he was kind of glad he couldn't make it. Ronon was his best friend but the thought of going to an organizational meeting full of young and earnest kids was too much right now.
Wrong time of month, he wrote back. I'm spending the weekend up at the ranch.
