Team rescues Rodney, or Rodney rescues team

[crooked-halo8.livejournal.com]

Looking for two kinds of Rodney-centric kidnap/captive fics:

1) Fics in which Rodney is kidnapped/held captive/otherwise trapped, and the team rescues him. I'm really looking for John, Ronon, and Teyla to the rescue, rather than just John, much as I love a good John-to-the-rescue story. (But if that's all you can think of, I'll take 'em.)

Ex: Finding the Way Home by sp23 -- Wherein the team rescues Rodney after he is kidnapped by Kolya.

Or, the reverse!

2) Fics in which the team (John, Ronon, and Teyla) are kidnapped/held captive/otherwise trapped, and Rodney alone must rescue them. Or, if not just Rodney, then mostly Rodney with some help from others.

Ex: Prison Break by liketheriver -- Wherein Rodney rescues the team from the VRs they are imprisoned in.

Bonus points for McShep, but I love a good gen fic.

Even more bonus points for the bad guys being someone other than the Genii/Kolya, or Michael. I'll take those kind of stories, too, of course, but it's nice to read a new villain now and then.

Anything I've read before I'll happily reread. I'm just in the mood for some good Rodney fic.

Please and thank you. :)

That was actually mostly John doing the rescuing, now that I think about it...but what the heck.

Like I'd say no to a John-rescues-Rodney story. ;)

Well, while we're being casual with the criteria, here's a fabulous rodney rescues john fic:

1. Benched by cesperanza (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Benched.html)

And I had several fics where one or two team members do the rescuing/require rescuing but not the entire team. I've a Prison tag here (http://delicious.com/lwdagreat/SGA+PrisonAU?page=1) which contains 186 total fics where someone gets imprisoned if you're looking for something less specific. There were a lot where Rodney rescues John or vice-versa without the rest of the team. Enjoy!

Fantastic. Oh, you so win at life! I've only read a few of those.

Thank you so much! :D

Rodney saves the team:

The Unfinished Project by wildcat88 (http://community.livejournal.com/the_rmwc/5053.html#cutid1)

[crooked-halo8.livejournal.com]

Another one I haven't read. Thanks very much! :)

Wow. Uhm, *I* now want to get started on some of these, so... the Team rescues Rodney in sardonicsmiley's Permutationality (http://sardonicsmiley.livejournal.com/62850.html), but that's much more about Rodney's capture than his rescue, to be honest.

Catalysis (http://www.fantasi.net/catalysis.html) is all about the rescue, though, and it's definitely an all-of-'Lantis effort to retrieve McKay and his scientists.

In Triptych (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2351386/1/Triptych), John and Rodney rescue each other... in a manner of speaking. Good characterization and incredibly unique tale.

the Hero Thing (http://community.livejournal.com/nixa_jane/56922.html) has Rodney rescuing John. :)

Fortiutous Night, Fated, Free (http://mirabile-dictu.livejournal.com/54123.html) has a John-POV. John is captured by the leader of an alien people, forced into silence and servitude. The culture is well-realized and it's even hard to hate John's captor. Rodney and the team to the rescue!

Sandstorms (http://mithreon.livejournal.com/9418.html) has eventual rescue by team, but there is some serious hurt that comes before the comfort part. You are forewarned.

There are a handful of amnesia-followed-by-rescue ones. One of these is Perpetual Motion (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/motion.htm), by Victoria Custer. The team rescues Sheppard.

One of the best of all amnesia fics of this stripe is Speaking for the Dead (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/626883.html) and Deflection (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/deflection.htm). Both are about dead people, sort of. Both are brilliant. The former is far shorter than the latter. :)

Have fun!

Wonderful, wonderful! I think I've only read two of these. :D

Can't wait to get started! Thanks so much for the recs.

Children's Classics (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/2212654.html#cutid1), by, um, me, has John and Rodney both in prison, but Rodney's brilliance--and John's unlimited capacity for torment--gets them out.

[crooked-halo8.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Can't wait to read. :)
