sga_squeeOkay, I'm not supposed to be here. (Don't ask.) But I was thinking (hush!) and one of the characters I would liked to have seen more often was Lorne. Yes, he got off to a rough start with McKay -- I think that's understandable given that Rodney takes some getting used to -- but he became a very integral part of Atlantis very quickly. He's smart, professional, sweet, and deadly; quite a combination!
I think the writer who has the best version of Canon Lorne is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miss_porcupine. Her stories are gen, focus on the military side of the expedition for the most part, and Lorne in particular. His views on Sheppard, the command staff, the absurdities of military life, and paperwork are fun to read. If you'd like to read more, you can find miss_porcupine's stories here. I recommend The Jenny Code but must warn you that it's dark in some ways, and includes graphic violence.
So, what do you like or dislike about Evan Lorne? Who was he off-duty? On Earth? Personally, I think he smuggled in tubes of paint with the C4 and canvases in boxes marked as "targets." :)
What secondary character do you wish had had more screen time? More backstory? Feel free to open up a separate post for each character, and speculate on who that person was when the cameras weren't rolling. Zelenka? Chuck Campbell? Marie Cho? Amelia Banks? Who am I missing?
Ooops! Gotta go!

He's the XO, they could have a really great relationship, and they'd likely complement eachothers command styles as well. Sheppard is portrayed as a bit easy-going, lax with the protocol and the lesser rules, but die-hard on keeping his people safe. And Lorne strikes me as methodical, organized, the kind who works through everything in the proper order. And together they would pretty much save the day, and they would have to be friends, working so close together.
How would Lorne react to Caldwells attempts to take over the city command while John was a bug? Lorne was second in command and should be calling the shots while his commander and friend was changing and he even had to send the marines to hunt him - still, we get nothing of that.
Could someone pleeeease write me a nice bug!John fic from Lornes pow??
