Rodney (or John) Hiding Something BAD

[tehopheliac.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm looking for McShep or preslash (or even Gen with a strong John and Rodney friendship) fics where Rodney (or John, but most preferably Rodney) is hiding something, but is eventually found out due to being increasingly distracted, unable to function, etc..

When I say hiding something, I mean like: physical / sexual abuse (or past abuse), bullying, a bad disease, a disorder, horrible depression / suicidal thoughts, physical illness, blind / deaf (perhaps with alien technology to help him), an injury, disability, death of a loved one, bad allergic reactions, really awful nightmares, etc. Be creative, I'm just giving you a bunch of examples of the kind of stuff I'm looking for (negative, not Rodney hiding something good). Anything along these lines or similar (in negativity) would be great!

Something that's BAD and causes shock / anger (not exactly at Rodney, per-say, but that's acceptable too) / protective feeling. Some hurt/comfort, if you will. I especially enjoy fics that show the reactions of the other people around Rodney (Ronon, Carson, Weir, Teyla, etc.). NO BAD ENDINGS! I want a happy ending or at least a mostly happy ending!

I don't know why, but it's something I've been craving for a while. :3 Please help me?

There used to be one about Rodney having gills near his ribs or something that he hid for a long time?

Maybe someone could remember which fic this was?

That would be "Treading Water" by Thought Reflex, http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4085125/1/Treading_Water
and its sequels, Still Waters, http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4801715/1/Still_Waters
and Lost at Sea, which was co-authored with Laryn,

Haha, thank you! Do you know of any other fics that might fit this theme? I know there are a lot out there because I've seen and read a lot of them, I just can't seem to find them anymore because it was all random happening across them. *face palm*

crimsonclad wrote two stories that might fit the bill.

Commutative Property (http://crimsonclad.livejournal.com/88071.html#cutid1), Rodney hides that he has PTSD and an eating disorder.

Civilian (http://crimsonclad.livejournal.com/81708.html#cutid1) is less Rodney becoming unable to function until the reason comes out, more that John inadvertently discovers that there was sexual abuse in Rodney's past.

In general I can think of more "someone finds out about secret trauma/abuse/pain" stories than ones where the truth comes out because the affected character is unable to function. Sardonicsmiley (http://smiley.zonezine.net/) wrote some stories that include that, like Tipping the Scales (http://smiley.zonezine.net/html/56118.html) and The Other Side of Grace (http://smiley.zonezine.net/html/90539.html).

Please edit your post to remove the bold and underlined formatting. They are quite unnecessary.

Thanks.
