Rodney as musician

[rilestar.livejournal.com]

Howdy,

I'm currently looking for Mckay/Sheppard AU fics which have Rodney as a musician and/or composer.  Your assistance would be much appreciated!

trinityofone's Four Quarters (http://trinityofone.livejournal.com/60262.html) and it's follow up stories here (http://trinityofone.livejournal.com/tag/puddlejumpers) follow the band The Puddlejumpers, Shep, Rodney, Teyla, and Ronon.

rasah wrote Glastonbury (http://rasah.livejournal.com/24257.html), in which Rodney is a musician whom John keeps meeting at Glastonbury over the years.

skoosiepants has a band AU called Everything Else is Secondary (http://skoosiepants.livejournal.com/180826.html) where the band is made of Bates, Cadman, Parrish, Rodney, and John.

toft_froggy wrote String Theory, a Concerto for Violin in D Minor (http://toft-froggy.livejournal.com/190025.html) in which Rodney is a composer and conductor, and John is a violinist.

hi there, i was just about to recommend string theory but then saw that allyndra already had. and then i noticed she'd pointed out one of mine! it's friends-locked on my lj but it's also on mckay_sheppard Here (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/1575757.html#cutid1) just in case you wanted to read it (you don't have to of course!).

Awesome, thanks very much!

[rilestar.livejournal.com]

:-D Excellent, thanks for that! (And of course I'll read it!!!)

I recently found about Complicated Symphony (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=8042) by ForCryinOutLoud; it's WIP (and might stay that way, it looks like) and somewhat pre-slash-ish, but should be good (I haven't gotten around to reading it yet).

There was also a story in which alternate universe Rodney (who's a world famous piano player) and his husband? partner? SO? John stumble into the "regular" SGA 'verse, and musician!Rodney has to play a alien/ancient piano-thing to save the day... Can't remember what it was call as I never finished reading the story; it was a heavy read.

Next up is The R Word (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=7666) by Orithain and Rina, in which John is a detective investigating the abduction of local kids (small town and all that) and Rodney is the recluse musician hiding out from the world after his nervous breakdown. Warning: mushy at places.

To go with the trend of reccing fics I haven't read yet, you could try All You Can Be (http://beingothrwrldly.livejournal.com/351544.html) by beingothrwrldly, in which Rodney is a music teacher and John was a pilot who gets recalled for war.

A-ha! Finally found it: Counterpoint (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/165749.html) by Nestra, in which Rodney is composing a concerto, and John gets hired as his assistant. Written for the Harlequin challenge.

And there was a short band!AU in which John goes to a concert and watched Rodney's band (Zelenka and some others) play, then gets it on with him, but I can't track it down now. (Let's just say that JOhn was mesmerized by Rodney playing and singing 'Alelujah' and leave it at that, shall we?)

Awesome! Thanks heaps for those. :-) I really appreciate the links. (Also, I really like your username. Debris is a really cool word.)

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

You're welcome - I'll be posting a search at storyfinders for the two stories I couldn't find the title of, as I hate reccing like that. Also, heee, thanks! Debris is my fave word as well, followed right after by kipple, which is what the 'k' stands for. ^.^

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

sgastoryfinders, even. *facepalm*

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

I also stumbled over Blast From The Past (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=4092) by The Huntress, in which John went to a concert when he was young. *cringes at your reaction after reading*

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

And the spoils of war the search are:

- the first unnamed story I mentioned above is Ancient Music (http://linaerys.com/fic/sga/ancient_music.php), probably by linaerys

- the second is the Concert (http://azilver.livejournal.com/12421.html#cutid2) ficlet by azilver.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways ...

You rock! Thanks so much for all of that!

[eveningblue.livejournal.com]

Tactus, (http://toomuchplor.livejournal.com/52021.html#cutid1) by toomuchplor is another good one.

[rilestar.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you! I love toomuchplor, too. (Actually, I've often wondered - is it really possible to *have* too much plor? ... Okay, I'm sleep-deprived. I'm gonna stop typing now...)

Thanks again!

This one might be cheating. Rodney's only a virtual musician, in some alien death trap. It's pretty good though and his reaction to living out his childhood dream is awesome.

And here's one with a similar premise: Mckay's symphony in two and ten by medie (http://community.livejournal.com/stargateanon/14013.html?view=402621#t402621)

Thanks for those links, they are great stories - especially the second one. It breaks my damn heart!
