Rodney dissembling

[kirinin.livejournal.com]

I was reading some superpower!genre fic, and thinking to myself, 'self?  Wouldn't it be cool if one of the cast had a super-sekrit power they'd possessed for some time now, perhaps even before the expedition took off for Atlantis?  Wouldn't it be cool if that were Rodney?

'Wouldn't it be interesting if Rodney's abrasive personality was literally just all for show, to keep anyone from finding out about this power?'

All right, so this is a bit of a reach and all - just like always, I'm asking for something super-specific.  To generalize it a bit:

1) A fic where a member of the main cast (but especially Rodney) has an odd power that they keep secret, either from before Atlantis or gained somewhere along the way.
2) A fic where Rodney's abrasive personality is actually completely or mostly put-on for effect, for whatever reason.

As always, McShep preferred but not necessary; though Katie/Rodney and Jennifer/Rodney does make me itch.

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone, and hope you're doing well,
