Pretense McShep

[caelith.livejournal.com]

Are there any McShep fics out there where one of them pretends to be gay, for whatever reason, discovering his true feelings in the process type thing?

I was just watching bits of the movie 'Eating Out' and got a yen for a similar thing, McShep style.

Thank you (:

Just read one: Gayworld (http://zelempa.livejournal.com/54541.html), in which John and Rodney pretend to be together in order to do as the Romans do. It's hilarious at first, but surprisingly insightful by the end. I definitely enjoyed.

Then there's Cinaedus (http://chelle.slashcity.org/atlantis/cinaedus.shtml), by chelle; in which Rodney has sex with John to complete a ritual, rather than allow others to mess with him.

I'm noting an AMTDI theme... ah, well... why else would they pretend to be together?

Oh, yes! I remember another reason... in the Perfect Strangers (http://www.area52hkh.net/asm/madison/perfec01.php) series, by Madison, John and Rodney pretend to be together for a convoluted reason involving Carson's travel to an alternate universe. The first part of this is in the 'okay' category, but the second part is very cute and entertaining.

Also, in Auburn's Wrapped in a Red Ribbon (http://www.eternalvox.net/~auburn/redribbon.html) Rodney and John try to catch a serial killer by pretending to be a couple. Of course, this is an AU, but a well-realized, kind of creepy one.

I'll let you know if I think of any others;

Okay, I suck at titles/authors so if anyone knows these, jump in and meanwhile I will look for them but...

there's one where John says Rodney is his lover to piss off his visiting father.

there's one where Rodney makes John pretend they are lovers so Rodney can get lab space.

Found one anyway. Rules of Engagement (http://velocitygrass.livejournal.com/62709.html) by velocitygrass

I don't think I've seen the one with John's dad, but the one with the lab space is Rules of Engagement: http://velocitygrass.livejournal.com/62709.html

Fooling Dad!

The one w/John's dad is "Glass Houses" by Kitt

Catch 19 by mmmchelle: http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/7221.html

There's another one, slightly AU, where Rodney's on Atlantis and John is Rodney's mail-order husband, but I can't find the link.

Do you mean this one? No Refunds or Exchanges (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/No%20Refunds%20Or%20Exchanges.html)

One of my favorite fics ever.

[zellieh]

Yeah - that's it! I love that story. *G*

And thanks for the link - it was bugging me that I couldn't remember the title, or find it in my bookmarks. *facepalm*

No problem, Astolat is on of the authors I reread constantly, so that one I did know-lol.

[caelith.livejournal.com]

Oh lovely thank you :D

Oh, and I have to rec Straight as a Circle by toomuchplor; it's not exactly pretending to be gay, but it plays with sexual identity and self-knowledge beautifully. Her summary is, John's *so gay*, he can't 'wake up gay', so he has to 'wake up straight' instead, and the story is about how he deals with that.
