Rodney recognition

[jo-lee.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for stories where Rodney is recognised for his genius on Earth. I've just re-watched Brain Storm and it didn't feel right that Rodney is viewed as a joke amongst his peers.

I'm particularly interested in anything similar to 'Ordinary Life' (sorry, can't remember the author) where Rodney is swamped with requests for his assistance because his peers know that he'll be able to fix what they're doing wrong. Also, any stories where a recommendation from Rodney is worth more in the physics world than any number of PhD's.

As a connected request, are there any Brain Storm fics that deal with the reactions of the people who were there and were forced to re-evaluate their opinion of Rodney?

Thanks.

ok this has fast become one of my all time fav fics so I am going to be probaly rec it to evry one looking for somthing on sga finderXD

It's a long AU fic, in it Rodney is just about hounded by people wanting his help on there projects and pay millions for him to do a couple of hours work.

The SGC wont let him go of world because so many people on other planets have offered to buy Rodney and they are worried some one will take him.

there is also a page that has pictures of what the author thinks each of the other characters would look like.

For Rodney getting many requests for his assistance, there's "5 of x Instances Where Rodney McKay Declined an Opportunity (http://ladyyueh.livejournal.com/44881.html)" by ladyyueh. (Gen, with slight slash overtones, crack!fic-ish)
