genius Rodney (McShep plzkthx)

[esteefee]

Rodney is a genius. This is indisputable. So can anyone rec me some McShep first time stories where he actually is a genius instead of clueless and oblivious? I want me some brilliant Rodney. I'm just aching to read Rodney all hilariously crafty and genius-y with his crazed plans (involving Rube Goldberg devices at the very least) to snare oblivious!John.

Thank you kindly for any pointers.

a little tangential, but I have a (self-pimp alert!) list of stories where Rodney (thinks he is, or someone else thinks he's) a genius at sex: Rodney McKay, CSO of Atlantis: sex god (http://skaredykat.livejournal.com/3751.html) Includes McShep first times, Good Timing by toft which is one there is one you might like...

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

two more that might work for you:
What You Might Call Obvious (http://giddygeek.livejournal.com/95805.html) by giddygeek. Rodney is a genius with words and numbers...

The Chart (http://out-there.livejournal.com/778183.html) by out_there. Rodney is a genius with charts and figures...

and a maybe:
is Rodney a genius at flirting with John? Far Far Away (http://archiveofourown.org/works/63616) by astolat (crossover with American Idol).

forgot, another one by giddygeek: Break Up, No Robot (http://giddygeek.livejournal.com/129779.html). John is oblivious, so Rodney builds him a robot.

and a newer one (mcshep_match): it's not first-time McShep but Rodney is definitely a genius about certain aspects of John in The Number of a Man (http://archiveofourown.org/works/116976) by busaikko

Environmental Controls (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=803) by Kalimyre. PG. Rodney has a very crafty plan. Poor John doesn't stand a chance.

Perpetual (http://www.sageness.com/perpetual.htm) by Sage, in which Rodney builds John a little Ferris Wheel. John/Rodney, PG-13.

That Which (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=94) by Darsynia. Oblivious John/Pining Rodney. NC-17, long.

Vertigo (http://beadattitude.livejournal.com/204531.html) by beadattitude. R, John/Rodney.

Oh, that was so cute! I tried it first just because of the title. I don't want to spoil it with details, but it was just what I was hoping for, thank you.

And thanks for the rest as well, I will give them a go!

glad it worked for you :) (I love genius!Rodney! though I also love awkward!Rodney. and smart-but-awkward!John...)

Thank you for these!

Two days ago everything was fine. There's some troubles with the server, maybe. :/

Lady Ra (the fic's author) calls "Loving Rodney" http://www.visionsofprettyboys.com/Atlantis/LovingRodney.htm a romantic shmoop-fest but it's also a showcase of genius Rodney.

choose your own ending?

I will warn you up front that this fic is not completed (and unlikely to be finished since it was posted/last updated several years ago. Still, I think the story is worth reading and close enought to being completed that I wonder why author girlgonemadd stopped.

Oh!!! Title is "Major Wooing." Duh...

[kho.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure if this is what you were going for, because it sounds like you wanted Genius Rodney as far as planning and wooing and obtaining John, but this is Genius Rodney as in "My IQ is so high people cannot fic me properly unless their IQ matches mine or they have mad research skills" genius.

Or, just, ya know, read it anyway, because it is hands down the hottest blow job I've ever read.

The Pegasus Society (http://iamsab.livejournal.com/251156.html).

There is also bonus Sentient!Atlantis in there.

If this kidn of thing happens to you check it through the Way Back Machine (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php). An outdated url, a malfunctioning url, whatever, whether it's temporarily out of service or permanently, chances are WBM has cached it. Just copy the url the story is in, go the the Way Back Machine, and enter the url, and hit enter.

No one's rec'd Transcendental (http://intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/transcendental.html) for this? That is Genius Rodney to the n'th degree, and Rube Goldberg Computer Shenanigans resulting in some pretty hot sex... of course, the OP has likely already read this, but still. Just in case.

Thank you! I will give it a shot.
