This is a list of my favorite Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Fan fiction.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
I could stay - I think of it as the prequel to Blackout
Blackout takes place shortly after Self Made Man. While driving, John has an accident and is put in the hospital.
Awake is the sequel and continues directly after Blackout ends. John is getting back to his usual self while at the same time dealing with his feelings toward Cameron. It’s a rewrite of season two. Jameron.
These two stories are two of the best fanfics I’ve ever read. Unfortunately they’re no longer on fanfiction.net. The author pulled them when she start writing professionally. However, I saved them before they were removed.
Below are the stories. They’re zipped up and you can choose between three version.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
I Love You Too - Is a season three story that takes place in the future and the present. It’s a darker story than most season three stories and it is without a doubt the best out I’ve read.
Becoming John Connor - Is a AU story that follows John’s growth from a normal teenager to a man leading the resistance. It’s a John and Cameron character study.
Of Machines and Men - John knew those words for what they were: a lie to placate his mother; to placate the bitter resistance fighter. They’d never built a computer, they’d never seen beyond the circuits and the lines of code. A machine was made in the image of its creator.
Only Lonely - Cameron decides to intervene before John makes a terrible mistake with Riley. Set during “Mr. Ferguson Is Ill Today”.
Fuzzy Dice - The truth of John and Cameron’s relationship spreads to those willing to go to any lengths to undermine it. Sequel to “Only Lonely”.
The Killer I Created - After capturing a new type of terminator, General Connor faces a personal crisis while his future father confronts a frightening new enemy in the forbidden wastes of the Arctic Circle. Prequel to the ‘Only Lonely’ series.
Land of the Living - John and Cameron have moved to an isolated and idyllic Northwest town so they can raise their daughter in peace and seclusion from the world. Then the killing starts happening. Sequel to “Fuzzy Dice” and “The Killer I Created”.
Revolution - The Connors’ lives are thrown into chaos when a mysterious man arrives from the future with no memory of who or what he is. A/N: Features an OC from my other stories, but is set in an alternate timeline to those. John/Cameron. Part 1/5.
Reversion - John must choose between his feelings and his destiny when Cameron is corrupted by an old enemy. A/N: Features an OC from my other stories but is set in an alternate timeline to those. John/Cameron. Part 2/5. Sequel to Revolution.

Delilah - Hers is only one of many: stories, lives, pasts and futures. Cameron Phillips’ life is a coil, a twist of time unraveling, the end chasing the beginning. Cameron origins fic. Pre-series through to Born to Run.
