Jealous John - Rodney with someone else

[lillyjk.livejournal.com]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a specific type of fic. Namely, something where John has been or wants to be with Rodney, but for some reason never makes a move and/or they break-up and Rodney is with someone else. I would love it if John has treated Rodney badly and has taken him for granted. Bonus points if that new person with Rodney is Ronon, Cameron or Lorne. I don't mind if the fic ultimately ends up to be McShep, but I'm really looking for some John soul-searching, angsty/jealousy. Thanks!

Intense Weather Conditions (http://solvent90.livejournal.com/9692.html?format=light) by solvent90. NC-17, John/Rodney. John wants Rodney but freaks out when Rodney tells him how he feels.

Anti-climax (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/anticlimax.html) by Speranza. NC-17, John/everybody, Rodney/near everybody, John is kind of screwed up.

Unpredictable (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/40367.html) by emeraldsword. NC-17, John/Rodney, John's being a major asshole towards Rodney.

So this one fits some of what you want quite well (something where John has been or wants to be with Rodney, but for some reason never makes a move and/or they break-up and Rodney is with someone else. I would love it if John has treated Rodney badly and has taken him for granted. Bonus points if that new person with Rodney is Ronon, Cameron or Lorne. I don't mind if the fic ultimately ends up to be McShep, but I'm really looking for some John soul-searching, angsty/jealousy) but John's not the one treating Rodney badly... pour myself like wine (http://busaikko.livejournal.com/136550.html) by busaikko, short (~1000 words) but packs a punch. (Not on the AO3 yet it seems, so you may need to ask busaikko for access to see it.)

There's also Close Enough (http://archiveofourown.org/works/60822) by fabularasa, where Rodney doesn't obviously end up with someone else but John did not treat Rodney very well and kinda knows it at the end. (~18,500 words.)

And of course there's helenish's classic This Gun's For Hire (http://helenish.talkoncorners.net/gun.html) (~13,100 words), in which John and Rodney are together sort of inadvertently, they break up, Rodney gets with an OMC, and John sorta angsts about it in Helen's inimitable "Oh! John Sheppard!" way...
