Sporting AUs

[admiralandrea.livejournal.com]

I know there's ice-skating AUs out there, but are there any other AUs where John and/or Rodney are professional sportsmen. I'd particularly like it if there is anything with John as a gymnast, but I'd be happy to see surfing or baseball or football or basketball or whatever else as well. Slash preferred, but I'll take gen as well.

Thanks!

ETA Please assume that I have not read anything on the sports tag as of this time. I've read one Olympics AU with John as skater and Rodney as hockey player and one hugely long AU with John as skater and Rodney as his coach and that's it.

(Psst, it might be helpful if you indicated in your post if you've read all/any of the John or Rodney sports AUs recced in previous posts with the sports tag (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/tag/sports), so people don't re-rec you stories you've already read? Thanks!)

Oh, uh, I didn't know there was a sports tag till after I'd posted and then went to tag it, so that would be a no! I'll amend the post accordingly.

Awesome! I'll bookmark that to browse to my heart's content, thanks!

Hee, I just prefer to rec people new stories (or forgotten favorites) more than ones they just read/that inspired the search. ;)

And I see that clever anonymoouse has pointed you at elderwitty's awesome Giant McShep AU list, so you should have a bunch of sports AU stories at your fingertips to keep you entertained. :)

A Question of Quantum Physics, Molecular Attraction, and Timing by gottalovev is one of my favorite sports AUs! I don't want to spoil it for you so here's the summary: Rodney tries to guess what his new neighbour does for a living. John is amused.

Is that from Chicago 2010, and, also, may I snerch?
