post Doranda ...

[randomjitter.livejournal.com]

I'm in the mood for some angsty stories post Doranda. You know, the almost cliche where Rodney gets blamed and treated badly

Most of the stories I read have people realizing their mistake after McKay was put into some mortal danger, and somehow make it up to him, and voila, happily ever after. But today I want some not-so-happy endings.

I want people to realize their harsh treatment of Rodney was excessive, but not because Rodney was suddenly suicidal/captured/injured while saving every body..... I want them to realize it gradually, when anger dissipates and rational thoughts finally win out.

I want Rodney to change his opinion of people, but not so much so that he can no longer work with them. More like, okay, perhaps we weren't really friends after all, but it was good while it lasted. Or, is it me that somehow invites abuse, since no one else gets blamed so harshly for their mistakes? Some depressing (or self pitying) but still rational analysis of the situation, but no excessive wallowing please.

I also don't want everything to go back to normal or even better than before in the end. The relationships between Rodney and other people maybe permanently damaged. They may or may not repair them enough to have a meaningful team anymore. I imagine the stories would be about mistakes and regrets, of lost chances, and so on.

I like McShep, but gen would be totally welcome too.

TIA

Aren't there any other good Rodney Angst fics out there, especially on Trinity? I mean, I'd love to see if there's any new stuff that fits this description.

bernice last updated the post-Trinity list a few weeks ago. But if you're looking for recent Rodney-angst stories that aren't just post-Trinity, why not request it at this comm (mentioning that you've already read everything on the Post-Trinity list)?
