Famous John or Rodney AU's?

[carrykay.livejournal.com]

Hi again,
Anyone got recs for John/Rodney fic where either John or Rodney is some kind of celebrity (i.e. actor, singer- heck, famous pastry chef for all I care, as long as there is an emphasis on the well-known factor) and preferably the other one isn't? Hopefully something that has them forming a relationship despite the challenge presented by their different lifestyles, but tbh I'm not picky.
Um, and I do mean John/Rodney, not Joe/David.  I'm sure it's lovely, just not my bag.
Thanks in advance!

Technical Perspective (http://pennyplainknits.livejournal.com/118213.html) has them both as interior designers. They're both famous, but Rodney is pretty annoyed at John's rising reputation and fears his own career is in danger because of it. Also available as a podfic (google for it.)

A Question of Quantum Physics, Molecular Attraction and Timing
~Rodney tries to guess what his new neighbour does for a living. John is amused.

An Affair To Remember
~Rodney McKay meets international playboy Johnnie Sheppard on a cruise to the French Riviera. Written for Reel_SGA challenge.

The Tangler and the Hunter
~Rodney's a disgraced para-archaeologist-physicist; John's a famous movie star with secrets; they live on a planet called Harmony.


These fics have John as someone famous, but don't really focus on it:

101 Ways To Get Lucky In Love
~Rodney is a rich businessman who wants a wife and child. He goes to famous relationship coach John Sheppard for help, but maybe what he really needs is a husband that comes with a kid of his own.

Time and Tide: a love story with interruptions for murder
~Lord John Sheppard was no stranger to the business of murder, but he'd hardly expected to find it on a weekend in the country. But murder it was, and what's more, Rodney McKay was the prime suspect. Can John find the real murderer and, in the process, prove McKay's innocence? Time is running out, and he'll need all of his famous sleuthing skills – and McKay's help – to keep the man he's falling in love with from the hangman's noose.

There are quite a few mcshep_match fics that have John and/or Rodney as a tv show star, an actor, etc. Those fics don't really focus on the "he's so famous" aspect, though. If you want links, let me know and I can find you some.

That sounds hilarious! Thank you.

[carrykay.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks so much!

If you have any of the mcshep_match links handy I'd love them, thanks (though I can actually not be lazy and dig around over there myself, now I know that's where they're hiding) :D

[popkin16]

You're welcome! I love helping people out. These are fics where they have jobs that would lead to people recognizing them, but again, doesn't really focus on the "famous" aspect.

Daytime Drama
~Will hero pilot John Sheppard accept the offer to start a new life as soap opera hunk Shep Johnson? Will “Atlantis!” wunderkind Rodney McKay (Rod Ingram/Meredith Ingram/series co-writer) finally win his first Zeddy? Will they find love, on-screen or off? Tune in past the cut to find out.

Cloud Nine
~"Well, look who thinks he's the sexiest person on The Weather Station," said Rodney.

Any Sufficiently Advanced Technology
~Years ago, John recruited a famous wizard for a project that went bad. Now, he's asking for Rodney's help again.

Goal
~Rodney McKay manages to lead Team USA to the World Cup final, but winning the match might not be the most important thing that day.

I've really enjoyed the Not a Porn Star (http://archiveofourown.org/series/6184) series by melonbutterfly and hope there's more!

[snowglow1275.livejournal.com]

Also, The Private Life Series sounds like exactly what you're looking for, unfortunately there are only four of the planned 16 fics completed in this amazing series. http://piersonfanfic.livejournal.com/25607.html

This is going to bug me. I remember a while ago reading a series where the gang is a rock band ala U2. John is the lead singer, Rodney keyboards, Teyla, I'm guessing bass? Ronon drums. Any ideas what this was called?

Sorry that's not helpful, but if someone has a link, it'd fit your theme pretty well.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

that's trinityofone's the Four Quarters 'verse. The stories can be found by scrolling down here: http://trinityofone.unrealwords.com/fiction.html#sga
Four Quarters | AU | R | Teyla is the beautiful one, Ronon is the enigmatic one, and Rodney, of course, is the genius one. But John, John is the star.
The Sea It Swells | AU | NC-17 | "What can I do," John says, standing barefoot in the surf, the ocean crusting salty over the cuffs of his ratty jeans, "what can I do to make you trust me in this?"
The Bellerophon Brothers | AU | Yeah, the joke's on somebody, all right.
Bootleg: The Best of the Puddlejumpers | AU | And I felt like a star/I felt the world could go far/If they listened to what I said. (A text-only version can be found here.)
Tokyo Drift | AU | R | There was a reporter in the limo with them.
Five magazine covers the band was featured on (and why Rodney hates them) | AU | G
La Familia | AU | PG | They're done with scandal; then Teyla gets pregnant and won't tell anyone who the father is.
