 Have had the flu over the past few days and spent it watching films which led me here!

Feeling in the mood for cliche filled fic based on or similar to the plot around "Knight and day"(Tom cruise and cameron diaz film)=which is cliche filled! The plot is based on an ordinary person being swept up in the world of a spy and falling in love.I am sure I read fics based around this idea in sga fandom ages ago wih sheppard being hired to kill rodney and falling in love with him.  But any fic where rodney or sheppard is a spy or ninja or soldier is hired to protect or kill the ordinary guy in the fic and romance coming into it is the fic for me. I know I am leaving it very wide but I hope people know what I am taling about.

The Saint(val kilmer and Elizabeth shue) is another film along this theme that I think would fit Mcshep to a tee. It is remarkably similar to the theme of my first ask as in an ordinary person ( a scientist ) is pulled into adventure with a spy. It is one of guilty pleasure movies and I would love a fic based on this.

I would love any Mckay/Sheppard fics out there based on any of these plots. Thank you!

Pssst, if the end of [livejournal.com profile] seperis's Mexico City leaves you unsatisfied, there's another gripping chunk at the end of this (http://seperis.livejournal.com/345992.html).

Not based on any (serious) spy movie, but Rodney is a spy (who can't kill John) in The Universe Is Not Enough (http://trinityofone.unrealwords.com/universe.html) (humor, short, McShep).

Also not based on a movie, but I think it fits your request: [livejournal.com profile] auburnnothenna's very gripping Judas Doesn't Answer (http://www.eternalvox.net/auburn/judasdoesn'tanswer.html) (McShep, ~75,000 words)

In kellifer's Hegira (http://kellifer-fic.livejournal.com/62660.html) John is an experimental supersoldier rather than a spy, but Jack O'Neill makes an entertaining hit-man... (~23,000 words, McShep)

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Physicist (http://archiveofourown.org/works/72093) by [livejournal.com profile] valderys is very John LeCarre-like. (~3500 words, McShep)

Not McShep, but assassin+movieverse-based: John comes out of the same government program as Jason Bourne in And That's For Remembrance (http://seperis.livejournal.com/599468.html) by [livejournal.com profile] seperis (crossover with the Bourne movieverse, ~7700 words, Bourne/Sheppard)

Oh and of course the classic very McSheppy James Bond pastiche/loving homage: Ordinary Life (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/Ordinary%20Life.html) by [livejournal.com profile] astolat and [livejournal.com profile] speranza. (John is not actually Bond, he just partially turns into him when he and Rodney take a little Earth-side leave and villains show up. John + tuxedo + guns = hot. ~20,000 words.)

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/10789.html) by [livejournal.com profile] ras_elased: John does industrial espionage, Rodney is his mark.

[livejournal.com profile] seperis has written several stories with this type of plot. Here's her Stargate: Atlantis fic page (http://seperis.illuminatedtext.com/sgaindex.html).

Bourne Identity crossover: Rosemary (http://seperis.livejournal.com/683700.html?mode=reply&style=mine), And That's For Remembrance (http://seperis.illuminatedtext.com/sga/remembrance.html); this is only pre-McShep though iirc.

Atlantis Project series: Arizona (http://seperis.illuminatedtext.com/sga/arizona.html), Borderlands (http://seperis.livejournal.com/344924.html#cutid2), Puerto Vallarta (http://seperis.illuminatedtext.com/sga/puertovallarta.html), Mexico City (http://seperis.illuminatedtext.com/sga/mexicocity.html). John is a spy helping to smuggle Rodney away from people who want to steal his discovery. Ends unresolved, sort of.

The Rules of Attraction (http://seperis.livejournal.com/611549.html?style=mine), never finished but still worth reading imo. John is a spy, Rodney is drafted to help John's team support his mission.

Is it in horribly bad taste to rec something of your own? Because I did an AU crossover with the Cary Grant/Audrey Hepburn movie Charade (http://archiveofourown.org/works/451461) for SGA Reversebang this year, and it sounds as if it may be something like what you're looking for.
