Revealing Moments...

[shibela.livejournal.com]

 
I just finished reading kristen999 's "John Sheppard's Naked and Almost Naked Month" & it has inspired a 2-part search.

1)  I'm looking for stories where one of the characters, under the influence of alcohol or drugs (could be Earth or Pegasus variety, not picky there), either says something they normally wouldn't or is less inhibited in actions.

2)  Clothing "malfunctions" -- wherein one of the characters loses their clothing or must wear clothing other than what they normally would in the course of initiating or continuing alliances between Atlantis & other Pegasus cultures.

While I enjoy reading McShep pairing, I'm not particular on what the pairings, if any, are with regards to this search; however, please label pairings where applicable.

Thanks in advance!

1. Aiden Ford's Bad Day (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=5015) by ToraK, PG-13, John/Rodney. In which aliens don't make them do it, because they're already doing it; Sheppard gets high; and Ford may need to wash his eyes out - with bleach

What You Trust (http://tex.livejournal.com/315683.html) by tex, John/Rodney, NC-17, Rodney POV. He’s never been good at asking for what he wants. Well, not politely. And especially not when it’s something personal. “Come on, let’s snuggle,” or “I need a hug” are words that have never passed his lips. And he’s been fine with that because there’ve been things to do, people to see. But now, tonight, all those excuses and denials seem piled up at his door and he can’t make a move without tripping on them.

Untalented And Completely Unprepared, But Giving It His Best Shot Anyway (http://www.area52hkh.net/asd/dasha/untalent.php) by Dasha. PG, John/Rodney. Rodney's under sedatives is something else :).

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! :)

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Ha ha!! Thank you! I hadn't ever read the second one.... :)

[shibela.livejournal.com]

\o/ In fact, there are quite a few listed there that I either haven't read yet, or haven't even made it to my TBR pile..... So happy! Thank you! :)

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

For 2, there's Naked Under These Clothes (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_genderfuck/2449.html) by janne_d. And toft_froggy's Second Skin series starts with John being made to wear decidedly non-regulation clothing. First one is here (http://toft-froggy.livejournal.com/162512.html).

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

more shocking news: these too are both McShep. :)

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Yay/you're welcome!

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

Hope you don't mind a self-pimp:

Tangerine Dreams and Marmalade Skies (http://gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com/143943.html), gen (maybe Lorne/Cadman if you squint very, very much and there's a sequel: Days Like These (http://gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com/145529.html), same labels apply here)

[cattisan.livejournal.com]

For #2, Kirekendorf's Tribe would work. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4535828/1/Kirkendorfs_Tribe

[(Anonymous)]

2: vain-glorious's Meed of Bane: http://vain-glorious.livejournal.com/27449.html

John loses his pants.

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Self-pimping is just fine. Thank you for suggesting these! The first one managed to hit both parts of my request. Loved it! :)

[gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it :) And BTW, thanks for linking kristen999's story... I really laughed my ass off ;)

[chireel.livejournal.com]

For #2: The True Story of When They Went A-Wandering (http://www.eternalvox.net/auburn/truestory.html) by auburnnothenna, R, gen. It's just like a mission, only not. Team Sheppard tours Pegasus.

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Love the clothing issues with the team interaction.... :)

[shibela.livejournal.com]

This one was absolutely hilarious! Thank you so much for suggesting it! :D

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for this rec!! I had a great laugh....and found another story that very vaguely fits for #2 of my request, which if you haven't read it, you definitely should - I was in tears I was laughing so hard. :D

"Hot Potato" (http://www.eternalvox.net/auburn/hotpotato.html) by Auburn (auburnnothenna) - PG, Gen. John & Rodney are left to babysit Torren while Teyla & Kanaan leave Atlantis for an Athosian bonding ceremony. Things happen, John's shirt is defiled many times, and Lorne discovers a new 'service' that Atlantis was programmed to provide to the detriment of his BDU's.

[shibela.livejournal.com]

I did like it!! Also... You're very welcome! I like to give examples of the stories inspiring my searches if possible - especially seeing as how the stories I read usually drive my searches. LOL! As a matter of fact, you definitely need to check out "Hot Potato" (http://www.eternalvox.net/auburn/hotpotato.html) by Auburn (auburnnothenna) for some more torture of Lorne (it's a tight fit for my #2 request here) -- I'm pretty sure you'll be laughing your ass off with this one, too. :D See my response to chireel for a brief synopsis of the story.

[shibela.livejournal.com]

I had read janne_d's story almost a week ago.... loved it! (Sort of forgot about the clothing issues in the hotness that was that one with its sequel, "The Finest Clothes Beneath" (http://janne-d.livejournal.com/53942.html).)

However, I had yet to get to toft_froggy's Second Skin series. :D

Thank you!!

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Glad I got to point you to fresh goodness!
Also, if you liked janne_d's and toft_froggy's, if you hadn't read it yet, you might also like rinsbane's Cornflake Girl (http://rinsbane.livejournal.com/55947.html)...

And in response to your responses up- and down-thread, I really like it that you usually give one or more examples of what inspired your search -- can help narrow recs down, (sometimes) stops me from (oops) reccing the exact story that inspired your search, and if I hadn't read it before (or for a while) offers a reading treat! :)

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you some more! Somehow or other I had missed out on rinsbane's "Cornflake Girl" -- Rodney was a trip and a half in that! LOL!

Re: giving examples of search inspirations.... There's actually a couple of reasons for giving examples for my searches - other than the obvious - and the first & foremost is that I liked them & want to make sure that others will find them to enjoy as well, which may well inspire the authors to write more, and then also as a strategy to maybe inspire some newer suggestions from the usual - or at least find some of the older gems that may not have been mentioned much if at all. ...because this community is extremely rich in resources & willingness to share - not to mention putting forth a lot of effort in hunting down the possibilities.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Wasn't he just... (Sometimes it's "Oh, John Sheppard!" and sometimes it's "Oooh, Rodney...")

And I like your multiprong strategy/clever tactics for listing examples; all good reasons! :)

[wanted-a-pony.livejournal.com]

Eeeeee, wonderful recs!
