straight!John and straight!Rodney

[kirinin.livejournal.com]

Yes, so, I've been asking a lot of you lately... but I've just finished my first year of teaching with skin and sanity intact, so please join me as I celebrate with mountains of fic!

I'm interested in fiction where John, Rodney, or both believes that they are straight before they meet the other.  Although I'd be interested in fics where this is a minor point, if they're INCREDIBLE, I'm mostly interested in the sort of story where it's a major obstacle to their relationship.

I'm aware of this list by incidental_fire, but I'd like to see what you guys think is good.  Also, that list was written several moons ago, so there is certainly a possibility that new things might have been written along those lines...

Thanks again, everyone, and I promise not to ask for more fic than I rec in response.  ;)

Darn, you beat me to it ;) 119 fics just waiting for perusal.

Thanks!

That's a pretty ginormous list. Are there any on there that you specifically recommend?

Ah hah! I was trying to figure out why on earth that particular post was suddenly getting an enormous amount of hits - so thank you for the exposure. :)

That being said, it's one of the lists I've been meaning to update, so I can give you a quick list of some of the other stories I've found (and liked enough to rec). Some are new and others are just ones I hadn't found when I was making up the list (or more likely, ran out of time when fic-hunting). Hope these help with post-teaching celebration time!

Straight!John:
If I Wrote You (http://pocky-slash.livejournal.com/1098904.html), by pocky_slash. PG, funny. John discovers that it's possible to be a bad boyfriend even when you don't know it.
A Brief Layover (http://cottontail.livejournal.com/66834.html), by cottontail. R, post-"Sunday" tag-fic, related angst. There's a lot of commercial air travel, layovers, jet lag, hotels, too much drinking and a morning after.

Straight!Rodney:
Guy Stuff (http://lamardeuse.dreamhost.com/sg/guystuff.html), by lamardeuse. NC-17, adorably funny. Rodney's not jealous.

Straight!John & Straight!Rodney:
Nothing New (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/668355.html), by deltacephei. PG. John almost dies one too many times, and Rodney has an epiphany. And then he's not the only one.
(Really Just That) Obvious (http://crysothemis.livejournal.com/67487.html), by crysothemis. NC-17, funny. The one with the eye poking. Yes, that kind of eye-poking.

Thanks muchly! I ADORE 'Strangers on a Six Train'... s' probably the fic I've read the most, next to 'Transference'. Many of the others are new to me, though.

*does the shiny new fic dance*
