Too good to be true...

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if any of you could point me in the direction of John/Rodney fics (or other pairings if you feel so inspired) where there is some focus on one of the pair struggling to accept that the other person really is in love/ interested in a relationship with them, possibly even as the relationship progresses.  i.e. through insecurity or trust issues or past events etc.

Anything on that theme that you think might be a fit would be much appreciated, thank you! It need not necessarily be the main focus of the story, although that would be fine, obviously. 
:D

 

(Mods- I hope I have chosen the right tags. If not I'm sure you will let me know- thanks!)

I think Every Day in Every Way (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=8) by velocitygrass fits that pretty well. :) One of my favorites, too!

Theory of Everything (http://www.goldenmaze.com/theoryofeverything.htm) by Rheanna (John/Rodney, brain damage)

Unidentified (http://fiercelydreamed.livejournal.com/8714.html) by fiercelydreamed (John/Rodney, au, amnesia)

These fics are all amazing and popular, so you've probably already seen them, but I never pass on a chance to read again.

Actually, two of those are new to me! Thank you very much! :)

An Affair to Remember (http://tiranog.southroad.com/SGA/Affair.htm) A McKay/Sheppard retelling of the movie. It's been a while since I've read it but I think it has what you're looking for.

Thank you! These look perfect.
