rodney: asleep, sick, injured, manipulated

[almostnever.livejournal.com]

I received lots and lots of fantastic recs to my last post! Thank you so much, everyone! Maybe I can trouble you for some more help.

1. Anything with John, Ronon or Teyla contemplating Rodney when Rodney's asleep, sick, hurt, or otherwise not himself.

2. I edited this one into my last post, but not sure it was seen much, so here it is again. I'm looking for stories that mention Rodney being manipulated socially by the government in order to control his genius, whether it's keeping him isolated, or fixing him up in fake relationships, or spies trying to get to him through seduction. I've read We Used to Be Friends (Elizabeth/Rodney) and Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (John/Rodney, action romance AU) both of which have elements like this.

for 1:
Five Lies John Told (And Then A Whole Lotta Truth) (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Lies.html) by cesperanza, ~4200 words, McShep. Rodney in a coma.

Fun With Comas (http://toft-froggy.livejournal.com/358930.html) by toft_froggy, ~8200 words, McShep. Showing it can't be done enough, Rodney also in a coma.

astolat's classic Oblivious (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/Oblivious.html). ~ 8200 words, McShep. Shockingly enough, Rodney injured but not in a coma (after John's injured).

For #1, would stories from Rodney's POV qualify, if we see the reactions of those around him? See A Rational Universe (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/754847.html) (McShep) for one example of what I mean.

For John/Ronon/Teyla POVs:

In Verb, Transitive (http://kageygirl.livejournal.com/17448.html) (McShep), one of the segments has Rodney in an altered state.

In A Thin Line (http://community.livejournal.com/sgahcchallenges/15250.html), the team must deal with an altered and agitated Rodney.

In Breaking up Is Hard to Do (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=223) (McShep), John must deal with a very high Rodney.

In Environmental Controls (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=803) (McShep), John is wrangling a slightly injured/hypoglycemic and exhausted Rodney and later watches him sleep.

John sees that Rodney is very badly hurt in Hidden Resources (http://megtipper.tripod.com/hiddenresources.htm) (gen).

Ah ha, those are some faves I hadn't thought of in this context. Off to reread, thanks!

[almostnever.livejournal.com]

Excellent, some of those are totally new to me-- I look forward to checking them out! Thank you!

[michelel72.livejournal.com]

Cool!

These aren't nearly so specific in terms of a teammate considering him in these states, but I do have tags for stories in which Rodney gets sick (http://www.delicious.com/michelel72/SickRodney) or is injured (http://www.delicious.com/michelel72/InjuredRodney), if you run out of better-targeted recs or just feel like browsing ....

1. Through an Acre of Fire I Would Travel (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6241076/1/Through_an_Acre_of_Fire_I_Would_Travel) by LinziDay. Gen, PG-13. Rodney's literally not himself, he has amnesia.

The Ratio of Burning (http://stillane.killerstar.net/stories/ratio.html) by Stillane. John/Rodney, NC-17. John's POV on Rodney, who again is not himself. At all.

2. Gift Horse (http://misspamela.slashcity.net/stories/horse.html) by Miss Pamela. John/Rodney, NC-17. FBI agent JohnSheppard seduces Rodney to get to the important information.

Shattered (http://beadattitude.livejournal.com/451159.html?format=light) fits the first request. It has a sequel Mending (http://beadattitude.livejournal.com/454665.html?format=light). Both by beadattitude. G, John/Rodney.

Hee, I suspected you would already have read these, but they jumped out at me as fitting and are all three, in my estimation, eminently rereadable. :)

[jane-connor.livejournal.com]

And I've remembered Running Blind (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/171145.html) by cherryice, where John's government agent who's supposed to gain information from Rodney by any means possible.

I'm excited about digging into these! Thanks so much for finding so many links.

and another older but good "Rodney in a coma and injured, being contemplated by John" one: Disarmed and Unbalanced (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/114799.html) by lavvyan. McShep, ~8600 words

[winkatfireflies.livejournal.com]

John watches Rodney, sleeping and otherwise, in beadattitude's "The Slow Braille of Touch."
