Why This Must Be Read: This is an interesting study of several of John's early relationships in the context of his family, before he met Rodney. It's a little sad, until it isn't. Minervacat isn't on AO3, so it might not be so well known.

John was 25 and flying fighter jets in Bosnia, when he realized that the last time he was genuinely happy, he was 8 years old and his father was stationed at Pendleton.

Which, if you’re trying to think of things that might possibly make you just a little more cheerful while you’re living in a war zone and shooting at people who didn’t do anything to you at all - well, realizing that you haven’t been happy in something like 15 years, that’s not exactly the best place to start.
