If you've written a story that you'd like included, or know of any John/Cam other stories I've missed any, please leave a comment to let me know. Lots of R/NC-17 stuff here, so consider yourself warned.

2:42 pm - Enthusiasm Can Get You Killed (SGA, Sheppard & Lorne Gen, PG)
Title: Enthusiasm Can Get You Killed
Author: [info]skieswideopen
Fandom: SGA
Prompt: Sheppard, "When I ruled the world"
Pairings: None
Summary: There are some advantages to having the ATA gene in the Pegasus Galaxy, particularly when dealing with people whose knowledge of history is a bit confused.
Notes: A more cheerful variant on the same prompt used in "And My Kingdom Bounded by Stones"--the other side of the ATA gene coin, if you will. Or one of the other sides. Originally written for the [info]lostcityfound 2008 Fic Battle for the prompt "When I ruled the world."

"When I ruled the world," said John, gesturing expansively, "we had buildings that touched the sky. Markets that offered the best goods from six galaxies. Transporters that could take you anywhere just by thinking about it." John stole a mid-spiel glance at the high chancellor, who looked somewhat less impressed than John had hoped, though that may have been because he was focusing most of his attention on trying to breath as he struggled to keep up with John's wide stride. Sweat had soaked through the rich, red robes, which were now nearly matched in colour by the high chancellor's previously pale face. John walked a little faster.

"It was actually several worlds, you know," continued John. "We ruled two galaxies, so we had to run a few planets each. It was a busy time."

"It sounds..." panted the High Chancellor Wali, "magnificent. But Holy One...we must ask...why did you leave?"

"Oh, you know," said John vaguely. "Ascension and all that. If you think it's time consuming ruling several planets, you should try living on the higher planes."

3:14 am - And My Kingdom Bounded by Stones (SGA, Sheppard Gen, PG)
Title: And My Kingdom Bounded by Stones
Author: [info]skieswideopen
Fandom: SGA
Prompt: Sheppard, "When I ruled the world"
Pairing: None
Summary: John in exile: sometimes there are disadvantages to possessing the ATA gene in the Pegasus Galaxy, and even being king doesn't help.
Notes: Originally written for the [info]lostcityfound 2008 Fic Battle for the prompt "When I ruled the world."

"When I ruled the world..." began John. He stopped as a bout of coughing wracked his body.

"Hush, Dad," said Beth gently, adjusting his pillows. "You need to rest."

"Things were different," insisted John. "When I was in charge...."

"I know, Dad, I know. I'll get you some tea, okay?" She went to the door and rang for a servant. John looked at the two small children who sat beside his bed, looking back at him with identical solemn gazes.

"When I ruled the world,” he said again, “we fought the Wraith; we didn't hide from them. We went between planets and traded with others, and when the Wraith came, we sent up waves of drones until the sky was lit with the explosions of their ships."

"Papa says that’s a foolish risk," said the older girl. "Too many people die when we fight. Now that we’ve destroyed all the Wraith who know where we are, we should stay quiet so that no one else finds out we’re here.”

"Hiding," said John bitterly, "and letting other people fight for us." He began coughing again.

11:09 pm - Five people John Sheppard included in his will and what he left to them (SGA/SG-1, Cam/John, PG)
Title: Five people John Sheppard included in his will and what he left to them
Author: [info]skieswideopen
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: Sheppard/Mitchell (only #5)
Rating: PG
Notes: Written for and reposted from [info]sg1_five_things, set 48.

1. John actually had two wills. One was informal, filed only on Atlantis, naming recipients of various items he has in his quarters. Keepsakes, really, since he didn't have anything especially valuable on Atlantis (though admittedly, valuable was a relative term when the Daedalus only showed up every couple of months).

In this will, he left his guitar to Teyla. He'd rarely played it since coming to Atlantis, and wasn't even sure why he'd brought it except that he'd had it for more than twenty years and had dragged it across every continent on Earth, and so discarding it now was kind of unthinkable. He thought Teyla might appreciate it, even though she wouldn't have any memories associating it with him. He'd been to enough Athosian celebrations to know how important music was to them, and he'd seen Teyla slip out to watch Sergeant Mazer strum his way through "Stairway to Heaven" on quiet nights on Atlantis. He thought she might even learn to play it.

2. Ronon got a soapstone carving of a horse that John had received as a gift from Nancy early in their relationship and kept around for sentimental reasons. He'd originally left Ronon his surfboard, thinking that he'd take the Satedan out and teach him one day. And then that day came, and it ended as disastrously as Ronon's attempts to teach John those ridiculous Satedan fighting games that invariably left him hopping on one foot with both hands tied behind his back. So he changed it over to the horse, which Ronon tended to gravitate toward whenever he was in John’s quarters. He'd turn it over and over in his hands while he talked to John, and John suspected that it reminded Ronon of home, or childhood, or something else precious. He also left Ronon his collection of action movies, not sure that Ronon would remain on Atlantis long enough to watch them once John was gone.

3. The other will had been drawn up by the family lawyers, and now sat in their offices. Occasionally, when he was back on Earth, he'd pay them a visit and have it updated, because he wasn't quite as careless about money as his brother thought.

The first provision of the that will left all of his shares in the family company to his brother and any children his brother might have, because he also wasn't as careless about family as his brother thought, and he really didn't want the company his father and grandfather had built up to fall into strange hands. He just didn't want to have to run it himself.

4. The formal will also left a good chunk of his money--tied up in a trust fund until John was 25, but now his to control, because his father had never expected this kind of rebellion when he set it up--to Rodney. When John watched Rodney bitch about yet another ridiculous IOA or Air Force decision, he knew, as if he could see straight through to the other man's core, that one day Rodney was going to walk away from the whole program, his previously boundless enthusiasm crushed and left for dead by politics and expediency and morally questionable decisions. And when Rodney left, John didn't want him forced to take another position where politics might rule his life. As he saw it, what he was really giving Rodney was freedom.

(He'd made similar provisions for Elizabeth in his will, for similar reasons. He'd almost changed it the last time he was on Earth, but then decided to leave the money in trust for her, just in case.)

5. John had wanted to leave some of his money to Cameron, too, but that would have been far too obvious, and besides, Cam had scoffed when he hesitantly brought the issue up and told John that he wasn't planning on spending his life as a kept man and John was going to outlive him anyway. So instead John had a quiet word with Alex Shah, who John had always found one of the most approachable attorneys at the firm and who had been discreetly involved with another man for ten years, and Alex set up a sort of posthumous trust that didn't have to be named in the will and wouldn't be noticed unless someone went looking for it, with the money to be turned over to Cam if and when he retired from or otherwise left the Air Force. And then John went back and revised his informal will, leaving Cam the tiny silver knife he'd received from the people of Palus on one of his first trade missions in the Pegasus Galaxy. He'd quietly chuckled at the size of the knife, but it had saved his life no less than five times since then, all in entirely improbable ways, and had become something of a good luck charm for him—a symbol of survival in difficult times. He wasn't sure the knife would survive his death since it came on most of missions, but he was hoping it would, and that Cam would get it and understand what it meant.

1:51 am - With Bloodied Swords (SGA/SG-1, Cameron Mitchell/John Sheppard, PG-13)
Title: With Bloodied Swords
Author: [info]skieswideopen
Fandom: SG-1/SGA
Pairing: Cam/John
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: They're not mine.
Summary: Fighting the good fight after the Ori invade Earth.
Notes: This is a sequel to Under One Moon. The fic title is from a lovely poem called "Guinevere at Almesbury" by Guy Gavriel Kay, from the collection Beyond This Dark House. This story was written for the 2008 [info]sg_rarepairings Fic Battle for the prompt "gun in your pocket."


John ducked awkwardly down a side street, out of sight of the Ori soldiers who'd been perilously close behind him. He immediately slowed down, trying to disguise his stiff-legged gait and blend into the crowd, willing the soldiers to pass him by. Even when he was sure he wasn't being followed, he kept his pace casual. There was no point in drawing attention to himself--you never knew who might have accepted Origin.

The crowds had all but disappeared by the time he reached his destination--a nearly derelict house in a neighbourhood where no one asked questions. Cam was already inside, waiting.

"Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" he smirked.

9:52 pm - Under One Moon (SGA/SG-1, John/Cam, R)
Title Under One Moon
Author: [info]skieswideopen
Fandom: SG-1/SGA
Pairing: Cam/John
Rating: R
Summary: John joins the Ori resistance and discovers something about Cam.
Author's Notes: This is a prequel to With Bloodied Swords. The fic title is from a poem called "This Dark House" by Guy Gavriel Kay, from the collection Beyond This Dark House. This story was written for the [info]sg_rarepairings 2008 Fic Battle, for the prompt "boredom."


John Sheppard was in Antarctica when Earth fell, light years away from his post and his people and nearly everyone he cared about. He knew Earth had fallen because the SGC managed to get a message through to them right before they blew the Mountain, telling them they were now at Romeo-Sierra-Sierra-Tango. He didn't see the live broadcasts of the surrender by various world leaders, but he caught taped excerpts later on. He didn't blame them—they hadn't really had a choice.

It took him three weeks to get back to Colorado Springs; the Ori followers didn't encourage unnecessary travel, so he'd had to take a painfully circuitous route. He thought about stopping off to see his father or brother, but he wasn't sure he wanted to see which way they had gone, and given what he was planning, it was probably better if his family had no idea where he was. He spent a lot of travel time not thinking about where he wasn't.

Back when the SGC had first encountered the Priors, military contingency planners had gone to work and started plotting the "what ifs." One of the main "what ifs" they’d come up with was what if they didn't manage to stop the Ori before they reached Earth? Romeo-Sierra-Sierra-Tango was one of the results. As military commander of Atlantis, Sheppard had been kept up to date on the plan, in the hope that if any ship survived the battle, Atlantis might be able to provide aid. He figured he might as well put the knowledge to some use.

When Sheppard reached Colorado Springs, he went to an address he'd been given and under cover of darkness and the light of a single, lonely crescent moon, left a marked piece of paper under a distinctive rock, then tracked down a hotel room. He didn't think the Ori knew him—not from six weeks of leading an SG team in the Milky Way, not if the SGC had been successful in blowing the Mountain—so he figured he was safe enough using his own name.

He went to the second meeting point the following night. He felt a wave of surprise at the sight of the figure slouched against the wall, waiting for him; he hadn't expected anyone from SG-1 to survive the final battle. He found he was a bit relieved at the discovery—he hadn't been sure how many people would be left who knew what they were dealing with, and it was good to know he wouldn't be alone. He also felt a certain degree of pleasure that it was Cameron Mitchell he'd be working with. Of all of the members of SG-1, Mitchell was the one he'd known best, both from his brief time at the SGC and from a few previous occasions when their paths had crossed. He wouldn't say he knew Mitchell well, but he liked what he knew well enough, and he trusted in the man's competence.
