Bad Relationships...

[reddwarfer.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for McShep fics in which they have an unhealthy relationship but stay together--due to coercion, stupid love, loneliness, evil aliens, etc .

If you read something and thought, dude, get the hell out of dodge! in regards to the relationship? And which ever of them didn't, that's the story I want.

Um. I'm not even sure how to tag this.

You want infidelity or possibly spousal abuse? Because this request may certainly bring it up.

[reddwarfer.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Surprisingly enough. I'm in a weird mood.

Just checking!

Yin Again has a fic: Good To Want (http://yin-again.com/goodtowant.htm), where John's a dick to Rodney.

There's a list of post-Trinity fics here: http://iibnf.livejournal.com/1328223.html
In which Rodney gets treated like shit all around.

Pru has a fabulous story called Directional Theory: http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/directionaltheory.php
Infidelity, where Rodney treats John like shit.

Danver's Complicated is a good one for them treating each other like shit: http://01100100.fanfib.org/fanfiction/sga/complicated.html

"How Not To Make A Lightbulb" by Blinkiesay; John is an asshole, Rodney replies in kind: http://blinkiesays.livejournal.com/106497.html

Rodney throws John over for a cat. John deserves it.

I think John breaks up with Rodney in that Pru story and starts up with Ronon in the end. But thanks, and for the other ones.

Yes, but it is McShep, it just doesn't end McShep. You didn't specify that. :D

Yes, I did. Actually. First line, sweets. I'm looking for McShep fics in which they have an unhealthy relationship but stay together.

And in the second line, too:

If you read something and thought, dude, get the hell out of dodge! in regards to the relationship? And which ever of them didn't, that's the story I want.

HEE - FIRST COFFEE DO OVER.

Re: NO coding before my first coffee

[reddwarfer.livejournal.com]

LMAO. I still enjoyed procrastinating reading the fic.

I believe this fit exactly with what you're looking for:

There's this fic here (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4042559/1/Cycle_Down) called Cycle Down. It's a short AU, John has trouble controlling his anger...

[reddwarfer.livejournal.com]

Thanks! That's fits exactly. Damn, dude...I read it and thought, dude, get the hell out of dodge...:D

Rodney's not real good to John in Hands Away (http://mandysbitch.livejournal.com/214061.html/) by mandysbitch.
John's got McShep Issues in torakowalski's Stubble on My Sticky Lips (http://torakowalski.livejournal.com/57801.html/), though this one's (slightly) more hopeful.
You might also try some of Helen's fics (http://helenish.talkoncorners.net/stories.html#sga/) or several of gaia-anarchy's (http://www.fictionresource.com/gaia/cats.php?cat_id=00001&action=cat/), though your mileage may vary as some have happy-ish endings...

[reddwarfer.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. :D

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! (though oops, I miscoded the LJ-links, Hands Away shoulda been http://mandysbitch.livejournal.com/214061.html and Stubble on My Sticky Lips http://torakowalski.livejournal.com/57801.html)
