music

[skipperroo.livejournal.com]

Hi guys, I'm looking for stories involving someone playing music. Playing an instrument or singing, not a radio. I would prefer John to be the one playing but others would also be great! Gen, het, or slash it's all good! Thank You!

The Price That Life Exacts (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=38) by cathalin is a nice long fic where Rodney plays something approximating a piano (it's a major plot point, even). The host site seems to be down right now, so lemme look...

I can't find an alternative link, but some big names are behind the 'talkoncorners.net' site, so I don't expect it to be very long before it's back up.

edit: It might be helpful if you stated whether you like gen, het, or slash and/or what pairing you would like results from (you don't have to edit the post, just add some tags?)

edit2: crap. In my first edit, I had meant to state, this fic is McShep. *facepalm* sorry for inbox spam.

There's a previous search for Rodney's relationship to music (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/218330.html) fics and this one (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/193687.html) searched for musician!Rodney fics, among other things.

Also, Crossroads has a Musician!John (http://sga.fictionresource.com/fic_index.php?tag=00133) tag, as well as a Musician!Rodney (http://sga.fictionresource.com/fic_index.php?tag=00118) tag.

A Whole World of Trouble (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/562904.html) by sheafrotherdon is an AU featuring country musician John. It's McShep, and very sweet. :3

There's a hilarious fic over here by beadattitude
John's making up a blues tune on his guitar :)

One of my favorites: Coda (http://fiercelydreamed.talkoncorners.net/main/archives/stargate-atlantis/coda/#more-16) (an epilogue, of sorts, to Unidentified (http://fiercelydreamed.talkoncorners.net/main/archives/stargate-atlantis/unidentified/)) by fiercelydreamed.

Unidentified is long and gorgeous, and really isn't about the music. The coda very specifically is. Unfortunately, it's Rodney, not John.

Also, to pimp myself (though it's nowhere near as good as fiercelydreamed's), I wrote an AU where the Lanteans are in a drum corps (http://lusty-daydreams.livejournal.com/57570.html).

I do remember a specific story about John's musicianship, and how he didn't want anyone to find out he was playing. Apparently, I didn't tag it though. Perhaps someone else recalls it? Rodney gives John a musical instrument, very unobtrusively. Just as unobtrusively, he begins playing it, and (yes - unobtrusively) others start hiding behind a door and listening to him play... does anyone know this one?

Also, I've got a musical!Rodney tag (http://delicious.com/Kirinin/musical!Rodney) as well as a general music tag (http://delicious.com/Kirinin/music) on my del.icio.us. I'm the one who made the request that debris_k alluded to. :)


Have fun!

Amazing band a/u by trinityofone This is the 1st in the series. The rest can be found on her website or in her lj. Four Quarters (http://trinityofone.unrealwords.com/fourquarters.html)

Wait, sorry. And also this The Price that Life Extracts (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/index.php?view=fic&id=38) gorgeous, heartbreaking big bang fic in which Rodney's piano playing has a huge part.

both this and the one above are Mcshep and both are kind of angsty.

[anyanka-eg.livejournal.com]

Okay, so it's not John singing but I think this might fit the bill because it's about John's relationship to music http://anyanka-eg.livejournal.com/17956.html

Self pimping....

Modern Major Scientist: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4374572/1/Modern_Major_Scientist

Rodney gets a bit loopy. And, er, sing-y. There's a second chapter with Sheppard now, too.

That was just the one I was thinking of! :)
