John Outed

[deceptivechasm.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for stories where John outs himself/is outed but where John and Rodney aren't together/don't get together. I don't care if John is in a relationship or not but I'm more interested in the friendship and support he'd get from Rodney and the team rather than the "OMG! Why didnt you tell me? I'm in love with you too!" That normally follows John coming out. I'd prefer non AU's (meaning I want them on Atlantis) but if you have a great one, don't hesitate to rec it. Self pimping is more than welcome.

Thanks.

The only one I know offhand is Cakewalk (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/253526.html) (4.2k, gen), but it's a good one.

Great, Thanks.

Maybe a few of the others mentioned in this earlier search ("gen stories where Sheppard is gay or bi") (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/696734.html) would work for you too. :)

Oh, awesome. Thankies. I looked through a few of the older searches but I hadn't found any like that.

erratic memory happened to fire up with "hey didn't busaikko request something not exactly the same but with some similar results a few months ago?" :)

I wrote a John/Carson that I think might fit the bill.

Speak of This (http://bluflamingo.zonezine.net/fiction/bf45111.htm) by bluflamingo (John/Cam).

Throwing out your frown and just smiling at the sound (http://less-star.livejournal.com/28586.html) by less_star (John/OMC).

Becoming Connor Davids (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=14777) is a great story with Rodney finding out that John's gay while still maintaining their friendship. It's Sheppard/OMC but its very well written.

I so agree with this recc...

Wonderful story!

[deceptivechasm.livejournal.com]

Okay, Thanks.

The Dramatic Exit (http://slybrarian.livejournal.com/5054.html) series by slybrarian is Sheppard/Lorne, and is slightly AU. They out themselves sort of on purpose, but I don't want to spoil the rest.

[deceptivechasm.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks so much!

Two that are not quite what you're asking for but feel related and are really good/you might want to take a look at anyway if you hadn't already read them :)

Less Like Freedom Than You Might Assume (http://bluflamingo.livejournal.com/56910.html) by bluflamingo. ~7400 words, Lorne/OMC, Sheppard/OMC -- Lorne-centric, a lot about how Lorne's friends support him when he comes out, including a key part for Sheppard.

Imaginary Boys (http://archiveofourown.org/works/90435) by busaikko. Sheppard is transgender not gay, but this has a very nice Sheppard&McKay friendship and supportive Rodney (and others!) while Sheppard starts transitioning on Atlantis. ~27,500 words, Sheppard/Mitchell, McKay/Keller.

Awesome. Thanks.
