swficathon in 2006, but I didn't see it listed here in previous rec's. Honestly, pretty much everything
mylittleredgirl writes is good. I picked this because it hadn't been mentioned before, and because it cleaves very well to canon in the sense of how she characterizes the different people's responses to a very close call.
And as with
aj,
mylittleredgirl is one of the most influential and talented of the Sparky writers. She has an unparalleled gift with their dialogue and interactions, especially with John's awkwardness around anything having to do with emotion. Her John is always goofy and unsure and aware of his own limitations and underneath it's clear in her fics that he's just
smitten with Elizabeth in a wonderful way, even in this fic which is mostly about their friendship and a hint of potential lying just beneath the surface.
