McShep with insecure Rodney.

[caelith.livejournal.com]

Hi all (:

I'm looking for any fics where Rodney is insecure about his looks, due to things other people have said to him, the way he's been treated etc.

Anything where he maybe fails to notice John's interest in him 'cause he feels John is out of his league is great too.

Thank you if you can help (:

Seven Or One Times (http://community.livejournal.com/sethoz_fics/23019.html#cutid1) “Do you sometimes sleep walk Colonel?” Rodney asks at last. (Shep really doesn't, but Rodney is still drowning in the 'jumper)
When first we practice to deceive (http://oxoniensis.livejournal.com/363932.html?thread=18200988#t18200988) John's the best liar Rodney's ever met. It takes him a long time to realise this, years. (McKay has an epiphany regarding John following him)

Cred (http://trickster.org/res/cred.html) But Rodney was the one whose attention was worth having. In a place where everybody had one Ph.D. for everyday and another one they saved for special occasions, Rodney was at the top of the heap.

eHarmony (http://shetiger.livejournal.com/454303.html) "Wait. So you're saying that the women in this room are all competing for a chance to be with me, and I don't have to marry them?" (Harmony tries to set McKay up with women on her world -John FTW)

A Rational Universe by X-parrot (must be dreaming challenge) (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/754847.html#cutid1) It's not really John, but it's still the best thing that's happened to Rodney in a long time. ("You're not getting Atlantis," Rodney tells him, folding his arms. "I don't care how much you can give me of what I want—you're not really John, and you're not getting Atlantis.")

Rodney McKay and the Crazed Gay Yenta (http://www.geocities.com/thegrrrl2002/atlantis/04/yenta.html) Radek ignored him. "Two, he teases you. Granted the Colonel is the sort of person who teases the people he likes, but he teases you more than anyone else. Three, he brings you coffee. Four, he puffs out his chest when you're around."

The Theory of John (http://lamardeuse.dreamhost.com/sg/thetheoryofjohn.html) Did it ever occur to you, Rodney thinks at himself angrily, as badly disused neurons spark to life and blaze new trails across his cerebrum, that it was a promise and not a warning? (Rodney has an epiphany about his relationship with John.)

You can also check these previous searches, for Rodney with low self-esteem (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/235401.html) and relationship-fumblinf McKay (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/151018.html) (though I only recced a single fic there). I could've sworn there were more requests with similar-to-identical themes to this one, but lj is being an ass as usual about doing searches, and Crossroads seems to be down.
