Hi guys, I'm hoping you can help me.

I have a craving for some romantic fic, specifically proposal fics. Only thing I ask is that it's John/Rodney and it has a happy ending.

It can be John proposing to Rodney or visa versa, it can be an accidental proposal or aliens make them, AU, anything really so long as it is happy in the end.

Thanks in advance :)

I can't get links right now, but the mcshep tag at teh_helenables has a ton of romantic fics -- 99.9% happy endings -- and quite a few proposal fics. Look for Star Writers, it's my fave ;)

Check One (http://rain-dances.livejournal.com/122427.html) is really cute, and Charmed (http://www.hawksong.com/~thammill/SGA_Fic/charmed.htm) is kind of a proposal fic. Both are happy, cute, John/Rodney fics.

...if the excerpt proposals are too much, kick me for the spoiler-free version

One more for the road:

Don't Tell (http://www.livejournal.com/users/seperis/278340.html) by seperis, NC-17
Summary: And this is how you wake up married.
Rodney pops the question, and John almost hopes he's hallucinating:

"As I said, I've been thinking," Rodney continues, with a glare that reminds John that this is his only source of regular sex speaking. Only. Source. Of. Regular. Sex. So pay attention. "We've been dating six months."

So that's what they call this. John had thought it was called *fucking*. "I see."

"Obviously, we're compatible."

"Right."

"You don't snore, drool, or otherwise offend my sensibilities, and occasionally, you show some amount of intelligence. You don't demand excessive attention and clean up after yourself. Not to mention this is seriously the best sex of my life. I'd like to keep that."

John's tracking now. "And marriage--"

"Legally obligates you to perform regular conjugal duties."

Funny how, in all the weddings that John's ever attended, he's never heard that part. "Huh."

And you can never go wrong with proposals when you go the Harlequin route:

The Convenient Husband part 1 (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/156116.html) & part 2 (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/156233.html) by mz_bstone, AU, NC-17
Summary: A marriage of convenience has some very incovenient complications for Rodney, as he deals with the fact that he's still in love with John Sheppard.
John proposes with his usual aplomb:

"Well, I kind of need to get married, and I was thinking ... maybe you might just be the guy for me," John said finally, and Rodney started laughing so hard he fell off of the sofa.

Like Deep Pools of Glass (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/161757.html) by cerri44, AU, NC-17, humor and *crack*
Summary: "Rodney McKay was the richest man in the galaxy. [...] But Rodney knew there was something more."
In which Rodney wastes no time getting straight *cough* to business:

Most frightened, he asked the shepherd that made his heart tingle in this very pleasant way: "You're not into sheep though, are you?"

"No. My name is Sheppard. And I actually never spent much time thinking of sheep," he drawled sexily.

"Thank the heavens. Well, now that that's cleared up, you can become my husband and we can live happily ever after, with nine red convertibles," for Rodney had ordered four new ones for himself along with the two for the king - no king in no country should have more red convertibles than he had, "and citrus-free lemons."

"Wait a minute, we just met - we can't just get married. And I am just the queens's slave and I have a bad leg - I am not good enough for you, Rodney McKay."

Sting of Destiny (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/170332.html) by jade_dragoness, AU, PG-13
Summary: Dr. Rodney McKay has discovered that his treacherous assistant Kavanagh had deliberately lost the papers he needed to renew his research license inside the United States. And now there was no time to get the papers filed on time. He was going to lose his position at the University. And he was just about to make a break through in the field wormhole research that would revolutionize all of manned space travel for all time! In the middle of this despair, test-pilot John Sheppard offers him a simple solution. Marry an American.
Rodney proposes, a lot, which makes John laugh, a lot:

Still smiling hard enough to make Rodney wonder why his face wasn‘t splitting, Sheppard said, “That has got to be a record. 278 rejections in 24 hours.”

Sheppard shook his head in disbelief. Then shot Rodney a mischievous look, “And just think that you could have avoided all that if you had just stuck around last night.”

Rodney groaned. “And how exactly would staying in that bar have helped me?”

“Well,” Sheppard’s eyes grew heated. “I would have told you that I could marry you.”

Hope some of these hit the mark.

I love this story: Catch-19 (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/7221.html) by mmmchelle. John has to get married quick so he can stay on Atlantis. A utterly delightful confection of a story!

One more for the road; I actually had to have this one looked up on sgastoryfinders, since I couldn't dig it up myself:

from rageprufrock's "10 SGA AUs I Am Totally Not Writing": 3. These Happy, Golden, Living In A Utopian Society Without Gender Or Marital Stereotypes Years. (http://rageprufrock.livejournal.com/301313.html) It's sweet, it's McShep, it's a snippet-thing that never became a story, John is wooing Rodney, and I love it to bits.
