Boys and Their Toys: John & Rodney

[shibela.livejournal.com]

 
I need some fluff -- or semi-fluff, anyway.

I'm looking for stories where Rodney builds / makes / re-engineers something for John because he knows that John would like it -- not necessarily anything related to their jobs & defending Atlantis, but not negating John's love of flying & possibly things that go 'BOOM!' -- for amusement purposes.

Some examples of such would be "The Courtship of Colonel Sheppard, or, The One With the X-Wing" by uraneia , where Rodney builds John a working replica of the X-Wing Starfighter (ends up McShep pairing), and  "Dog Days" by argosy , where Rodney builds John an A.I. robotic dog (Gen!fic - McShep friendship).

Alternatively, if there are stories where it's John who builds / makes / re-engineers something for Rodney, etc. & so on, I wouldn't mind reading those either. 

Basically, I'm looking for some good interaction between John & Rodney with the above-listed elements.  Acceptable stories can be friendship only or whatever pairing there happens to be in the story - please list pairings where applicable.

Thank you!!

self pimp but I think it fits, could be read as Gen or (if you squint) pre-McShep.

Thank you! I can't believe I forgot to include argosy's story, seeing as I just re-read it in the last week. I look forward to checking the other one out later tonight. :D

Just wanted to say Thank you! for the examples you gave with your request. Somehow I'd missed reading both of these fics & they're real gems!


(Ummm, how do you feel about fics where Rodney/John make or find & adapt a toy for X-rated purposes? Not sure how clean you want to keep their 'good clean fun'.... ;-)

[shibela.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :D

As for X-rated toys? Well, as long as they are used for their own amusement & not as a plot to take over the Pegasus Galaxy or completely eliminate the Wraith, I say bring it on. LOL! Of course, if there is such a story where John & Rodney eliminate the Wraith threat & rule over the Pegasus Galaxy by way of sex-toys... well, I wouldn't mind reading that, too. *coughs & tries to look innocent*

There's this fic, where Ronon is actually a soap opera star, and there's 'moralistic' use of dildos (instead of condoms LOL) and it turns out the best toys are made of naquadah and Atlantis starts importing them and they become respected neighbors and... I can even remember that there were some awesome euphemisms for homosexuals (they called John an ice farmer) but I can't remember the author/title! Sorry--I'm not useful apparently. Hope someone can recall from my description?

[altes-dev.livejournal.com]

That would be 'Healing Station Argh', but I don't have a link! Somebody help, please???

Here's a duo of stories by ms_jvh_shuh (aka mayachain) about Rodney creating three very cool things, one for each of his team-mates. (together, they're about 5,500 words & are mostly gen, with Teyla/Kanaan and a wee bit of McKay/Sheppard)

1) Three Gifts Rodney Wants To Give His Team: http://ms-jvh-shuh.livejournal.com/8304.html
2) That Keeps On Giving: http://ms-jvh-shuh.livejournal.com/8686.html

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! Absolutely loved these.... :D

[jenna_marianne]

Me, too! Had to share. ;)

[angellec.livejournal.com]

On wraithbait there is one called "Year One" with a sequel "Year Two" Rodney builds a ferris wheel for a missing John

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply - it took me awhile to find these. Thank you so much for the suggestions. They were great! :)

And... I just found this the other week, so thought to put it up here because it is not to be missed for those that have ever dreamed of having a working - or at least a decent mock-up of a - lightsaber. You heard me. :D
