Handsome Johnny by Hth (PG)
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: Ford-centric mostly gen (with non explicit Mckay/Sheppard and maybe kind of sort of Ford/OMC... ish)
Author on LJ:

Author's Website: Fierce FLawless
Why this story must be read: I have a huge thing for Ford and an even huger thing for fic in which Ford is done justice. In Handsome Johnny, Hth fills out Ford and makes him a person beyond the Marine. The insights into how he decided to join the Atlantis mission, the guilt over not being sent into 'actual' combat, all collide to make Ford much more nuanced than most people give him credit for.
Mostly I like the way Ford is clearly deciding to 'grow up', putting childish things aside and following these people he's come to trust and like into a different kind of wilderness. The look at the rest of the Atlantis crew from Ford's point of view is also not to be missed. The intimacy of the Antarctic base, the comraderie... I really can't say enough good things about this fic.
