Insecure Sheppard

[almostnever.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for stories in which John is conscious of his looks. Stories where he's insecure about his looks would be great. But I'm also interested in stories where he thinks about or mentions his looks in any way, whether he's acknowledging that he's good-looking, or puzzled that other people think he's hot, or preening.

Examples: there's a bit in A Beautiful Lifetime Event by Astolat in which John thinks about how he's getting older and his stomach isn't flat anymore, and in Selfish by Helenish, when John "wonders why he's so angry all the time, until it's over and he's back in his room, reminded that Rodney thinks he's too ugly to fuck, or whatever is wrong with him."

Any pairings or gen are welcome. NB: something like this was asked for recently but all the recs given were for the poster's other request, and a 2009 request only got one rec. So if you can think of anything: thanks!
