Rodney/John, appreciated Rodney

Okay, so I recently read sardonicsmiley's SGA fics, and she has sucked me into the world of McShep. So, I have two requests:

1. any stories like Promises writ in indelible ink that features Rodney being marked by the SGA crew (to never lose him and show how important he is to them)

2. any Rodney/John fics out there that should be read

thanks in advance!

ETA Great Recs Inside and Thanks to Everyone! Any more recs are welcomed

Freedom's Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose (http://www.kekkai.org/synecdochic/sga/freedoms_just_another_word.html) by synecdochic

Because the meaning of life is "do the next thing", and we all carry the seeds of the past into our future. Futurefic, Rodney-centric. Extended spoiler-laden author's DVD commentary here, but read the story first.

[ "SGC finally stops calling him by December. Rodney celebrates by writing a final exam for his relativity class so difficult that it reduces four students to tears in the exam hall. Upon reflection, he decides to be merciful and offer partial credit." ]

and the sequel And The Band's Playing "Hail To The Chief" (http://www.kekkai.org/synecdochic/sga/and_the_bands_playing.html).

Freedom literally breaks me (in wonderful, fantastic ways) every time I read it. There are no words that will adequately describe the awesomeness of this story, so I'm just going to tell you to go and read it.

Oh God. I'm seconding Freedom. It's like THE fic to read. No words can describe how wonderful and awesome it is.
