Isolated Rodney

[jo-lee.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for stories where Rodney doesn't realise how much he matters to everyone (stories where it comes as a revelation to someone else would be good too). Also any stories where he is surprised by/distrustful of friendship/affection/protection.

P.S. I've read all of IIBNF's Post-Trinity recs

Rose Period (http://www.fantasi.net/roseperiod.html) by chandri

Chandri touches on this theme a lot! It also shows up in her The Words That Bind (http://www.fantasi.net/twtb.html): "Teyla has often thought that Rodney is not accustomed to being valued..."
