Toucha toucha toucha Touch Me!

[kate-fire.livejournal.com]

Hey everybody! I know there's a lot of fics out there about Sheppard not wanting to touch people, but are there any that involve someone being touch-starved? As in, someone craving touch by someone else, or just anyone in particular. And I know there's a few stories with porn-or-die plots where aliens or technology make someone touch-starved, but are there any with a normal longing for human contact?

It doesn't have to be Sheppard--anyone is ok. I'd prefer slash, but gen, het and asexual touching is cool too. Thanks!

Sweet jumping chili bean, I haven't read Pads, Paws and Claws! I thought a Mark in Time was the only one that did that! Oh man, what awesomeness! Thanks so much!

The Slow Braille of Touch is one of the few I have permanently bookmarked on my computer! It's lovely. Thanks!

This beaut actually has both: John not wanting to be touched in the beginning, but being touch starved for Rodney's touch about half way through to the end.

Shielded in My Armor (http://nakedwesley.livejournal.com/67560.html) by nakedwesley McShep NC17 6300 words

It's a wonderful look at John's past, why he's untouchable in the beginning, and how Rodney just bashes his way through John's walls. Lovely, lovely fic.

[kate-fire.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I don't think I've read this one!

Crownglass39's For Better or Worse mentions Rodney as being touch starved in part 1. http://crownglass39.livejournal.com/91385.html

Thanks! I've read this one, but thanks for reminding me!

[kate-fire.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I love Touch; Rodney is *so* a cuddler!

I don't know if this fits entirely, because John's reason for both being touch adverse and touch starved isn't entirely 'normal', but otherwise I think it might fit what you're looking for:

Aegis (http://leahwoof.livejournal.com/tag/aegis) by me (as Leah) and springwoof.

It's a McShep AU where most of the expedition has special abilities. :)
