Oh, you
sweet summer child, you have asked for the unaskable, for that rare,
precious beast that hides so deep in the fandom grass that only the
boldest, most stubborn and intrepid McShep fan has ever been able to
capture but a few such stories in the wild. I had to enlist the efforts
of such a fan, @em-kellesvig, in my hunt for that elusive beast,
“Oblivious John/Pining Rodney,” and here are a few tasty ones for your
feast:
- Kid A by @cesperanza – in which John gives Rodney a new gun and things get blurry.
- The Whole Nine Yards by trillingstar – in which even in another galaxy three-legged races are still just as annoying af
- Competitive Spirit by @lamardeuse – Narina gets it. So does Rodney. John’s a bit…slow.
- Thirst by Resonant – John won’t drink. Rodney can’t deal.
- Bootlaces by @siriaeve – An okay story if you want your heart broken into hot sugary pieces.
- Ways to Die in the Pegasus Galaxy by crysothemis – It’s a manly snuggle.
- Close Encounters by amireal – Rodney tells him it’s just a crush.
- Checklist by mercuriosity – Who knew a dip in the sacred hot springs followed by a ceremonial back rub was as good as a betrothal?
- Situationally Speaking by seperis – Situational hypothermic homosexuality.
- Break Up, No Robot by Giddygeek – Rodney knows the way to John’s heart.
- [and I wrote a couple to increase the wild population:]
- The Bachelor Game by esteefee – Rodney says no more wimmins!
- Non-Covalent Bonds and Other Weak Forces by esteefee – Chemistry for dummies (like John).
More!
