Why This Must Be Read: Besides the fact that irony_rocks is just a wonderful writer, this fic is a lovely, honest exploration of John's character. It is balanced and unflinching, painting him as a well rounded character, and not just one thing(ie the hero, the boyfriend...etc)

"You like Elizabeth, you suddenly realize. A part of you always silently speculated with the rest of the gossipers about the possibility of more between you and her, but ultimately, you couldn’t see it happening. Ever. Now, you start to think differently. You start to really notice Elizabeth in a way you never truly allowed yourself to notice her before, and this has a snowballing effect that picks up momentum like crazy over the next year. But you like Teyla too, you admit, and a part of you has silently entertained the notion of hooking up with her since the beginning of this whole adventure. That type of attraction just doesn’t fall away, and over the next year, while it’s subtler and far less noticeable to those curious eyes that watch you, it’s still there. You have no idea what it means to have feelings for two women at the same time, but now you finally realize why the rumors have not eased off."
