Oh wow.

@of-princes-and-savages I just read your anti-Hook fic and I was making a comment on AO3 and this thought popped into my head “the second Hook left, they started thinking, so it’s like they are under a spell from being around him” and boom it came to me.

3.03 Irresistible was an episode of Stargate: Atlantis. SGA-1 gate to this world and they are mystified because this man has everyone singing his praises and they can’t work out why. However, after spending time with him the team start saying how amazing he is. This guy gets everything he wants, people do anything he asks them. The only one not affected is Shepherd because he has a cold. Turns out this guy made a drug, and put it in his aftershave.

When he leaves his world for Atlantis then the locals go through withdrawal. They are beside themselves without him. However, after another day without him the drug wears off and they regain their right minds. When they face him again it’s not pretty because he took serious advantage of them.

Now I don’t think for one second that Hook actually has this kind of racket going on but it makes for an excellent explanation in crack fics 🙂
