John/Rodney Courtship

[gwenhvier.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for McShep fics about either John or Rodney courting the other. I want the whole process including romantic dinners, candlelight, flowers, etc. I want to see their relationship slowly progress from shy flirting and holding hands to the sex level.

I don't have any true courtship fics, but found two that at have least a bit of dating!

Gift Horse (http://liketheriverrun.livejournal.com/3676.html) by liketheriverrun includes dating. John and Rodney try to take their relationship to the next level pretty quickly, but Pegasus shenanigans keep interfering. There is also a sequel, Careful Wishing (http://liketheriverrun.livejournal.com/9527.html).

Hindsight (http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/hindsight.php) by rageprufrock involves Rodney dating and attempting to (politely) seduce a straight John. It's AU, but amazing and hilarious. There are two sequels, More Than (http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/morethan.php) and Personal Item (http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/personalitem.php), that are also definitely worthwhile.

Thanks, I haven't read either of these.

I hope at least some of these fit what you are looking for.

Resilience (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=4026&warning=12) by Tira Nog (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewuser.php?uid=478) Its more than just a dating fic, it show the entire evolution of a relationship; first confessions of feelings, dating, first time, breaking up and making up. Its one of the first McShep stories I ever read and is still one of my favorites, the emotions, characters and details are all spot on.

The Other Road (Mensa AU) (http://seekergeek.livejournal.com/75801.html) by seekergeek Set in Rod's universe post McKay and Mrs. Miller, It has a very confused and oblivious John getting slowly courted by Rod.

Accidentally In Love (http://shetiger.com/fanfic/stargate/accidentally.html) by Tigerlady (http://shetiger.com/fanfic/stargate.html) John and Rodney sort of stumble into dating each other after an interesting mission. There is dating but neither one of them really admits to the other that they are dating, if that makes any sense.

Rodney McKay and the Crazed Gay Yenta (http://chelle.slashcity.org/atlantis/yenta.shtml) by Chelle (http://chelle.slashcity.org/) and The Grrrl (http://www.geocities.com/thegrrrl2002/) Rodney asks John on a date just to prove Zelenka's theory wrong....Its a short courting but its cute and funny
