Accidentally In Love with dating fics...

[roxy-palace.livejournal.com]

I have just been re-reading the gorgeous 'Accidentally In Love' by Tiger Lady 
( http://www.shetiger.com/fanfic/stargate/accidentally.html)  

Followed by reading the lovely 'Things to Do In Denver When You're Dead' by Speranza
(http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Denver.html)

And now I really want to find more stories where Rodney and John get together slowly, with nice dates and maybe a bit of emotional misdirection and a little angst.  You know, the slow build, chocolate boxes and roses, 'will they or wont they?'.  As opposed to the ever popular 'Oh?  You like me?!  Quick, trousers off and get on the bed!" (not that I'm knocking 'trousers off and get on the bed!', but you know, variety is nice too. :)) 

Longing and yearning are a definite plus.

Total AU's are deffinitely welcome.

Any rating.

In other words, bring the schmoop.

Yes, that's the one. He discovers he bought John a plane to say sorry before the amnesia?

I read it that they were never together, just friends, but John wanted to move things on, and Rodney was too messed up to accept it. John takes this to mean Rodney's really straight...and so doesn't try again when he's helping Rodney get through the amnesia...

But it all works out for the best in the end!

I'll have to read it again now to see if that was more my wishful thinking at work!

I think of them as only friends because Rodney says "I wont be your Saturday Night Special" when John makes a pass at him in a pre amnesia flashback. And John's all hurt that Rodney would think he'd do that. And Rodney's all hurt because he can't do the thing with people. There's a mess o' hurtin'.

What do you think?

It's a really great story. I love post amnesia Rodney. He such a sweet heart, and she really paints a picture of what someone like the Rodney we know and love would be like if the world hadn't repeatedly kicked him in the nuts - the rock climbing thing is priceless.
