So any fics where Daniel's unique awesomeness shines through, or where Mitchell especially gets a new appreciation for him?
That would be "Avalon" Parts 1 and 2. And pretty much the entire run of Seasons 9 and 10. It's canon that Cameron appreciates the hell out of Carter and Daniel's big brains, and Teal'c's century of experience, and basically thinks they're the awesomest people ever.
Also, when has Mitchell ever tried to copy Jack's behaviour? I must have missed it. Can you please point to specific examples, then explain why it proves that Mitchell is trying to imitate anyone, and isn't just being himself?
If you really want fic recs for Mitchell-bashing and John "making it up" to Rodney, I suggest you go to sgagenrefinders. I'm sure they have lots and lots of fic to rec.
No offence to you, because you're free to like what you like, and I truly believe everyone's entitled to their opinion and personal preferences, but how would you really feel if I used the words you've used in this post to describe Rodney? That he is a "bully" and "stupid" and "doesn't have the charm", and that I want to read fics in which he "feels guilty" and gets "reprimanded" and "where he gets taken down a peg or two" and other characters "have a go at him".
You may not have intended it, but you've very nicely indulged in some character bashing here, and I do not appreciate it at all.
I hate fics like this because it assumes that the Stargate characters are IDIOTS and that an Air Force officer who regularly lays down his life to protect scientists and Earth and, y'know, the galaxy would *actually* *purposely* put someone's life in danger for a joke. Because it's not like Rodney doesn't reguarly eat breakfast with his team, who often have orange juice or oranges at the same table with him and NOTHING HAPPENS. He's perfectly fine. Go watch the show again. [ETA2: Having actually read the fic, I'm retracting the first sentence of this paragraph. But it still holds true for MANY of the fics of this "lemon conspiracy" genre.]
I considered posting anonymously, but you know what? I'm so tired of this crap and I have said nothing that is not perfectly valid. While my "tone" is perhaps a bit angry, that's because I *am*. I don't understand why loving Rodney means putting down other characters. All it does is make fandom write out-of-character fic and drive canon-loving fans out of their minds.
ETA: Just to make it clear I'm not, like, bearing a grudge against you as an individual (rather than just being so damn fed-up with fanon and fandom as a whole) I do have a rec for you. Cascade (http://www.geocities.com/kylielee1000/stargate/02/cascade.html) by kylielee1000, which is Daniel/Cameron set early SG-1 S9. It's Daniel trying to communicate with interesting aliens, and Mitchell crushing on him so damn hard, and the two of them finally coming together. Beautifully written.
