Mensa!Verse and Insecure!Sheppard

[gwendolynflight.livejournal.com]

Hiya! I'm looking for a couple of different things - just in the mood, I guess. ^_^

1. Mensa!Verse stories featuring their Sheppard, preferably McShep or OT4, but gen would be nifty as well. I'm not seeing a Mensa!Verse tag, but anyway I really want stories about Mensa!John. I've read jenn's The Principle of Exclusion series and The Other Road by seekergeek, so I guess I'm looking for anything even remotely similar?

2. Insecure!Sheppard. Canon, AU, anything, and I'd like him insecure about anything. Really, not picky on this one, though if it involved him being insecure about his relationship with Rodney, or Ronon, or the whole team, that'd be awesome. I can't think of any good examples (aside from the aforementioned The Other Road, which probably prompted this search), but yes. Insecurity. The ridiculously overblown, crippling kind, please!

Thanks in advance!

1. Have you tried the mensa_au community? You should be able to find a lot of stories that are to your liking there. :)

Wow, seriously, I had no idea, thanks!!!

I wrote a Mensa AU for Secret Santa last year: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/117042.html

I wanted Mensa!John to be military as well as geeky... and as a bonus, he's also pretty damn insecure. Enjoy!

Awesome, I missed this one! ::runs off to read::

I have a tag for insecure!Sheppard that lists a few besides The Other Road.

"jenn's The Principle of Exclusion series"

Not familiar with this - could you post a link please? TIA.

The Principle of Exclusion (http://seperis.livejournal.com/tag/sga:+the+principle+of+exclusion) tag over at seperis' journal.

[folavril.livejournal.com]

Cool! TY - I'd missed that in Seperis' fics.

Sweet! Thanks. ^_^

*ops* Forgot to mention that this was in response to the second request, Insecure!Sheppard, sorry about that.

"Aegis" by Springwoof and Leah (from Big Bang 2007): http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/index.php?view=fic&id=16

and the sequel "Enthrall" by the same authors (Big Bang 2008): http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/index.php?view=fic&id=46

[gwendolynflight.livejournal.com]

Heh, that's okay, thanks! I've read everything over at Big Bang, but both of those were very good, indeed. ^_^

BTW, love your icon.

I don't know too many insecure Sheppards, but here are a few of my favourite Mensa Verse. They're both McShep

Hope you enjoy!

Brilliant, thanks! Though, darn, I'm having very little luck with insecure!Sheppard ... just not a popular characterization, I guess. ._.
