Rodney told them so

[michelel72.livejournal.com]

Are there any fics in which Rodney does his usual near-hypochondria and over-preparation, John/team mock him for it ... and then they succumb to whatever Rodney warned of and need his help? For example, in the SGA episode "Runner", Rodney warned of the radiation exposure and recommended sunscreen and radiation suits; he was mocked and nothing happened, but what if some of the others started feeling ill from the exposure? (Usually when Rodney is proven right, it is only in that he is the one to suffer -- such as one fic in which he claimed he was getting heatstroke and was ignored but turned out to be right.)

I'm not particular as to the type of risk, but I'd prefer medical/safety rather than "the Wraith will find us/oh, look, they found us" or "the locals will betray us/hey, look, I was right". Heatstroke, allergens, radiation -- anything like that, the sorts of things everyone treats him like a wuss for even considering. (The only fic I can think of myself is one in which Rodney specifically warned everyone to wear sunglasses to one planet because of the solar something-or-other, John forgets his, and he ends up with a crushing headache.)

[Note: I've neglected to link the stories I've used as references b/c I don't have the links handy, but I'm not looking for those specific ones here, just any others along this topic.]

ETA: Slash, gen, het, poly, crack -- I'm open to any category.

Yes, that fits quite well. (Honestly, that's exactly what should have happened after "Runner"!) Thank you!

What about Intersections by Kaneko http://www.anyroad.org/kaneko/intersections.html

It's pre-Stargate, with Sheppard and McKay meeting in Antartica (with McShep). They go hiking together, and McKay takes loads of kit, which turns out to essential ...

Ooh, that was on my "too long, read later" list. It does fit. (John's survival kit is hysterical.) Thanks!

Do you happen to have the link to the heatstroke fic? I can't find it anywhere!

[michelel72.livejournal.com]

I only knew of it because it came up over on storyfinders (http://community.livejournal.com/sgastoryfinders/2192745.html); it says something about this fandom that I had to get to skip=80 today to find it! Anyway, it's Confidence, Leadership, and Teamwork (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3002515/1/Confidence_Leadership_and_Teamwork).
