Theme: Wings

Series summary: Began from an LJ discussion about how John's only ambition is to fly, so John wingfic would be the least angsty wingfic ever; swiftly devolved into a very angsty series of stories, written off the cuff in one night. (John's pretty happy in these, at least; it's everyone else who's miserable.)
Individual fic summaries:
Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
This is a kind of flying that Rodney can get behind.
This is nothing like what happened to John.

Reccer's Notes: I think this is the most poignant and otherworldly of all the SGA wingfics. Yes, John Sheppard is happy to suddenly have wings, courtesy of the usual ambush by alien technology, but the story's about him being too happy, and increasingly, alien and alienated. He's very nearly lost to the expedition, were it not for Rodney, who (not entirely voluntarily) joins him and ends up rescuing him. The trilogy's one of my very favourite wingfic stories, and highly recommended.

Also I did a somewhat NSFW artwork for the final story of the trilogy last year, which is here.
