John wanting reaffirmation of self-worth

[indusnm.livejournal.com]

Okay, I just got through reading The Other Road by seekergeek (au mensa mcshep- amazing fic), and I would love to read more fics where Sheppard feels bad about himself and maybe gets depressed, distant, etc. and people need to come together and show him the good he does, or much they love him, or whatever!

I've gone back through the searches, and couldn't really find any requests like it in the last six months that weren't asking for Rodney. But I'd love Sheppard ones instead. I don't like explicit het, but any other classification (slash, gen, implied het, au, mensa, etc.) is fine.

Thanks!

McShep. Betrayal (http://www.panopeeper.com/raven/StargateAtlantis/Betrayal%20(1).htm). John turned and stared at Rodney. “Last chance, McKay. Give me the codes. All of them. Or Simpson gets to stroll through space.” (Mind-controlled!John tortures McKay for codes. McKay helps put him back together)

Break up, No Robot (http://giddygeek.livejournal.com/129779.html). "Write me John and Rodney with robots and pining," (McKay tries to fix his relationship with Sheppard with a gift robot --named Barney)

The Hearth and the Salamander (http://stillane.livejournal.com/9732.html#cutid1). He thinks, a little hysterically, It was a pleasure to burn. (McKay tries to stabilize Sheppard when he's near the edge)

Nobody's Hero (http://community.livejournal.com/sharkiefic/16083.html). "You stupid flyboy. Just have to risk your life at the slightest possibility. What is this, a deathwish? Are you out to kill yourself?" (Rodney tries to get a message across to John)

MVP (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/MVP.html). Rated NC-17, 12000 words; for Rodney working himself up to a real state of fear about Sheppard's high risk seeking behaviour.

Thanks! Out of all these recs, I think I've only read MVP, and even that's been a while.

I'm so grateful!
