That slow slide

[hikishi.livejournal.com]

Hey all!

Seeing as you were all ever so obliging last time I asked and I love trawling this comm, I thought I'd try to challenge you a little harder this time. It's another vague one by the way.

:-)

Pretty sure this hasn't been requested at all before, but beg pardon if it has.

I would like to find out if anyone knows of any fics where Rodney slides into a highly vulnerable state of being, which would be kind of out of character I know, but I still crave it!  Basically  this is the outcome of a situation, and he has to A: get back to being himself or B: have someone protect him. or both. It could mean him, trapped, physical vulnerability, a situation with his psyche, anything really. Creativity is the canvas, go nuts!

All other details are fair game!

As per my last request, McShep, McBeck, and Gen will make the fangirl squee.

Thank you ever so much for reading and any responses will earn this requester's ultimate virtual hugs.

Slow relationship fics and/or sex after marriage/bonding

[race-the-ace.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm looking for slash fics, preferably with Sheppard as one of the people in the main pairing (but beyond that, I'm not picky) where his relationship moves slowly. I'm a bit tired of the ones where they're suddenly in love and fall into bed together instantly. I want some where the relationship develops from the beginning and keeps going at a somewhat normal pace. It would be awesome if there were some where they didn't even have sex until after marriage or bonding. (I'm old fashioned like that).

I prefer long fics, the longer the better. And like I said before, I'll take McShep, Lorne/Shep, Cam/Shep, Radek/Shep, Beckett/Shep, Shep/OMC, Shep/Ronon. I'm not too big a fan of Ford/Shep, but it it fits the qualifications, I'll take it!

I've looked in past posts and haven't really found anything that suited this, so I'm hoping there are some out there and that someone knows where they are.

Also, I'd prefer a happy ending fic, nothing that's gonna make me cry or anything like that.

Cheers!
