A trio of requests - Denial; New Skill!; and out-of-his-element John

[kirinin.livejournal.com]

Post-consolidation... some of these might be familiar requests.  I deleted the older ones - sorry for any confusion.

I am looking for:

1) John in denial of his Twoo Wuv for Rawdney, especially if he pretends not to like Rodney at all in order to facilitate said denial. 

2) A main character taking the time to learn a new craft or skill, whether it be an instrument, a new language, a new negotiating technique, a new martial arts technique, or How to Properly Plant Beans.  Special emphasis or handicrafts/life skills.  :)

3) John is asked/required to employ skills that aren't native to him.  This includes but is not limited to: recognizing Team as Family and learning how to treat them as such; taking care of a child; and (gasp!) discussing his feelings.  Basically a situation in which John feels awkward and uncomfortable but eventually triumphs.  (Note: this is kind of like request 1 request 2...)

I realized I'd been making a lot of (badly worded, written at 3AM) requests lately.  I figured I'd delete them and start from scratch; I know this is probably 'not the way it's done', so I beg your forbearance.

For #2, I'm 99% sure John learns to knit in #435, The Atlantis Local Stitch'n'Bitch Chapter (http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/435.php). If I recall correctly, it's McShep.

Okay - have just re-read this lovely story. John doesn't appear to knit in this story, but he does join Stich'n'Bitch. Rodney tries to knit, so maybe it'll count???

It is McShep, but nothing too rude ;-)
