Go, now, without pause, and read What Happens Next: Interlude, by [livejournal.com profile] dossier.

It's 13,500 words of John, Cam and Alex visiting Cam's parents (and his very extended family) in the universe of my What Happens Next. She sent me what she had of it about a week ago, and I swear, I have it half-memorised, I've read it so many times. It's set in between the two parts of the original, the six months between John coming home and him quitting the Air Force, and it's just perfect. Did I say that already?!

She writes John exactly as I imagined him being then, kind of uncertain and unsure and very much unmoored, trying to build a connection to this family he suddenly has, and trying not to believe they want him. And it has Cam being sweet and wonderful and exactly the kind of guy you want to suddenly fnd yourself raising a child with, and Cam's family, who are lovely. And it has Alex, who I'm just unreasonably attached to, considering he's entirely a figment of my (and now dossier's) imaginaton.

Plus, it also draws on all kinds of bits and pieces from 50 things about John Sheppard and Cam Mitchell, including just what John thinks of being occassionally told explicitly that he's loved.

No, seriously, why are you still reading this post? Get over there and read dossier's story instead!

You're so very welcome - I couldn't wait for her to finish and post it so I could tell everyone how much I loved it and they could *see*.
