Unconventional AU wherein John’s father is the man John will grow up to be. Novel! It’s a High School Extravaganza!

Couples & Characters: John, Rodney, Colonel Sheppard, Radek, Teyla and a mish-mash of SGA/SG1 characters

Rating: G

SumUp: Concept snatched from the 1987 MGM classic “Can’t Buy Me Love”, which is shaken and stirred by the author. There are a bunch of links to snippets from smitty's High School au at the bottom of the story page.

Snip:  "You don't have to teach me to breakdance or anything," Rodney said hastily. "I'm not sure there's quite enough time for me to pick up the thing where I spin on my head."

I loved John's relationship with his dad in this. I think it's much better than canon. :D
