J&R deal with sexual harrassment

[katiebgood.livejournal.com]

That is, not that one of them is being harassed, but someone in one of their departments is, and John and Rodney take care of business.  Or they have minions do it for them.  Or someone else does so before they find out and they cover for them.  McShep would be nice, but not required.

I've always liked stories like this- there was one recced a few days ago as a Standup!Rodney fic, where Rodney punched a Marine in the face- which was great.  But I like the ones where he gets subtle revenge through the airvents, or something.  Zelenka and Lorne and Elizabeth involved are always fun- and come to think of it, I don't remember seeing Teyla, Ford or Ronon being involved, and that would be cool.

Where is the one where Rodney punched a Marine in the face? I'd really like to read that one.

Well, this is what I get for getting a new computer and losing my browsing history- I can't find it, and I don't think it's under the recent Rodney tags here. I think that the marine was named Mickelson who was also an electrical engineer, and was harassing a scientist named Ito (who I thought might have been a mishearing of Miko)... but I read two similar stories back to back, and might be mixing them up.

Ah ha, got it! Random free association for the win, eventually I remembered that John and Lorne both showed up just after, and John had trouble reading Lorne's facial expression, and that reminded me that he learned how to later, which reminded me about the concept of the cathedra (think cathedral, not catheter) which lead me back to Indelible (http://shaenie.livejournal.com/332275.html), by Shaenie, which is excellent! The bit with Rodney punching a guy in the face is in part 8, and it mostly could stand alone- but if you like McShep or just Atlantis concepts, the story as a whole is completely worth it.

Thanks-- I can't believe I didn't recognize it-- I've read Indelible half a dozen times. (BLUSH)

Oh my God you must not do anything BUT read Indelible :D

The only one that comes immediately to mind for me is Fists of Fury (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2370192/1/Fists_of_Fury), in which Kavanagh sexually harasses Miko and Rodney slugs him.

There's another one in which Miko wasn't so much harassed as insulted by a Marine, and Rodney and John made sure the guy got put onto punishment duty, but I can't find the link for that one right now. I'm pretty sure "Like Chocolate" is in the title, though. (Sigh. Or I could try Google first. Beautiful Like Chocolate (http://starrylizard.livejournal.com/56765.html))

*Exactly* what you are looking for is ladycat's the boys i mean are not refined (http://ladycat777.livejournal.com/909045.html), which has John and Rodney on a quest for revenge, and comes complete with action!Elizabeth. It's a bit more than harassment, however; be warned. Even though nothing is graphic, it is a bit disturbing.

Heh, it isn't often that we get humor mixed in with these- Fists of Fury was fun, though I'm not usually one for Kavanagh-bashing. And Beautiful Like Chocolate was very sweet. Thanks for the reccs!

[katiebgood.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I read this some time ago- I like fics where I can like Elizabeth, and this is one of her good ones. Thank you!

[kirinin.livejournal.com]

Very welcome. :)

Oh those are two of my favorites. I just love a protective Rodney. We really need more fic like these.
