Taking one for Sheppard/The Team
May. 8th, 2008 07:23 pmI'm looking for stories of Rodney taking one for Sheppard or the Team or for anyone else on or not on Atlantis for that matter. It can be something like, say, stepping in front of something to protect them from a blow or something darker (sexual abuse, even, *gah* I'm mentally disturbed *facepalms in shame*), or maybe staying behind to save everyone else, or volunteering himself for an unfriendly ritual.
Damage can be short term or maybe even long term (say... Rodney ends up MIA or assumed KIA or something or needs physio). If it's one of those back from the dead, holy crap, Rodney's alive! fics, even better. I think I have an affinity for hurt!Rodney... which is just... sick of me, but I'll indulge in some quasi-sadism...
It would be best if Rodney ended up alive, but I suppose a bit of death fic is good for the soul once in a while. Slash preferably but gen is great, too. I'm kind of looking for a smart Rodney, not like, oh-no-whatever-will-I-do Rodney though not a GI/Mensa Rodney either. Maybe even resemblant of the aged Rodney from Last Man personality wise? Kind of cynical, no longer an ignorance is bliss Rodney? Sorry, I'm just being demanding now...
Thanks too all in advance!
Any other recs even remotely related are welcome.
Haven't really been keeping up with modposts, but I'll just put in some of the more obvious tags... am I allowed to do this? I guess I'll add tags for the different kind of recs that come up.

Date: 2008-05-08 09:39 pm (UTC)My favest brave!Rodney fic is Five Impossible Things Rodney McKay Did Before Breakfast (http://laceymcbain.livejournal.com/202087.html) by [Unknown site tag], NC-17, McShep. To say more would spoil the wonderfulness of it, but it fits your request quite well, I must say.

(Rodney gives up the Atlantis Christmas party and silently goes off to fix a broken part of the city so no one else has to do it.... then everything goes to hell. Gen.)

Date: 2008-05-11 10:35 pm (UTC)It's pretty new and I just finished reading it. It's a fantastic time loop story in which Rodney takes one for his team over and over and over again. It's gen, posted in three parts.
