Rodney Angst

[sg-girl.livejournal.com]

I'd like some fics where Rodney is hurt... not necessarily physically, but where someone hurts his feelings or similar.  Maybe someone's underestimated how good of a person he is or acted hurtful towards him (etc...)?  I've read most of the post trinity recs on that giant master list (or at least read the descriptions), but feel free to rec post trinity... I'd love to uncover some undiscovered jems or even re-read some of the awesome ones.

Thanks in advance.  I always get amazing recs when I post here and I appreciate them all!

a few golden oldies in which Rodney's feelings are hurt in various ways:
Fat My Dust (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Fatmydust.html) and Five Lies John Told (And Then A Whole Lotta Truth) (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Lies.html) and Weddings, Plural, and a Yak (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/weddingsplural.html) and Anti-climax (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/anticlimax.html) by speranza, Under the Sea (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/Under%20the%20Sea.html) and Controverted (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/Controverted.html) and Touch (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/Touch.html) by astolat, Telling (http://deelaundry.livejournal.com/129090.html) by deelaundry, Scenes from a Lesser War (http://www.unrealwords.com/thestuff/sga/scenes.html) by amireal, Fix (http://toft-froggy.livejournal.com/315153.html) by toft_froggy, Rebuilding Babel (http://fiercelydreamed.talkoncorners.net/main/archives/stargate-atlantis/rebuilding-babel) by fiercelydreamed.

Wow! Thanks :)

and a nice long one where Rodney is severely underappreciated and at risk of having much more than just his feelings hurt: Calling Down the Lightning (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=86) by dreamwaffles, ~55,500 words, McShep, semi-AU featuring gateverse, Atlantis, and (fear of) magic users.

Little Storms (http://www.fantasi.net/littlestorms.html) by Chandri MacLeod. PG, John/Rodney. John is the one who hurts Rodney.

OK, this two stories stand out for me, because Rodney is being acted hurtful towards and he reacts in a (for me) very Rodneyish manner, meaning, he seems not too emo over it (not that there is all that much wrong with emo-Rodney :D)

If I remember correctly, Rodney gets underestimated and maybe mobbed, but he's pretty assertive about it in TechnoScribe's How the Grinch Saved Christmas (Rated: K+)
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3303735/1/How_the_Grinch_Saved_Christmas

It's crack, practically a kind of prank that goes on too long to be all that funny if you think about it, but it's still funny as a story:
He's Having Her Baby! (Rated: R) by Pru
