Totally clueless

[kirinin.livejournal.com]

I have an especial fondness for stories in which one or both of the main characters are completely clueless as to the fact that they are in a relationship until it's pointed out to them - either by a third party, or by one of the characters involved.

In order of most desirable, these are the sorts of fic I'm looking for:

1) Fics where both John AND Rodney are clueless - pretty unlikely, I know, but...

2) Fics with either straight!John or straight!Rodney - ie, one or both believe that they are straight before they meet the other.

3) General fumbling w/the relationship - ie, clueless!boys who just aren't used to serious relationships - until now, until each other.

I'm in the mood for some laughter and some sap!  Thank you and goodnight,

-K

I need to make my tags better -- I know that I know at least one for your #1, but I don't know how to find it. However, for your #2, I have ten stories tagged for that phenomenon here (http://delicious.com/michelel72/GaySurprise). That category doesn't include stories in which, say, Rodney always assumed John was straight; it's reserved for stories in which the character has considered himself straight before.

The Neighborly Detective and Tragic Woobie Widower by Master Elayna might work for two. Great read!

A few classics:

I think A Beautiful Lifetime Event (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/lifetime_event.html) by astolat fits number one pretty well and is a wonderful comfort read. Oh hey, Touch (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/Touch.html) works for this too...

For number two, Oblivious (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/Oblivious.html) by the same author is also awesome.

That's all I can muster at the moment, but a lot of her fic suits these prompts.

Ah, true that. The I-<3-U scene in BLE might be one of my favorites in all of fandom. :D

...likely time for a re-read.

The Alexandrian Tablet by giogio pretty much fits #3.

Long and good.

I might be wrong but this MIGHT fit number 1... I haven't read it in a while but I can remember them being vaguely clueless

Convenience (http://archiveofourown.org/en/works/1085?view_adult=true) by Kass fits number 3 perfectly.

I don't like to self-pimp that much, but I hardly ever see a request that exactly matches one of my stories For #1-- here. (http://argosy.livejournal.com/73150.html)

I'm glad you pimped! I read your story a while back and I'm pretty sure I failed to comment, so now's my chance to say how UTTERLY CHARMING and funny it is. Laundry. Hmph!
