Tattoos and/or Languages McShep fics

[laconicneeds.livejournal.com]

All right, I hope that everyone'll be able to help me with this. I've had a sudden wondering if there are any McShep fics with:

1. Tattoos. Either Rodney or John has them, or both -even better if it's one of their names on the other person.

2. Rodney's a genius, so shouldn't he be able to speak different languages? Any fics with him speaking different languages or even a line or two about him being able to do this would be great.

Thanks in advance, and any recs (off the wall or self-pimpage) are welcomed

Is self-pimping okay?

Trinityofone's Athosian for Beginners"> is one of my favourite stories about native Pegasus languages, and Rodney learning them....

Indelible Marks - Both John and Rodney get tattoos!

For #1 there's also the tattoo tag (http://sga.fictionresource.com/fic_index.php?tag=00303) over at Crossroads. I recall another tattoo fic (might actually turn out to be an alien-made scar/mark of some kind...) and I'll try to find it for you.

As for the languages thing, I love a Rodney who speaks more than English, but unfortunately the fics that give him this ability aren't always very reccable. But I'll try dig one or two up.

I found one (for #2) I was thinking of most: Ordering Beer In Seventeen Languages (http://minervacat.stormwerks.net/gates/sga/beer.html) by Minervacat. Rodney's French is really, really bad in this one. ^.^

And also...

For #1:

Inked (http://cat-77.livejournal.com/31790.html) by cat_77, Team, OT4, PG-13, Synopsis: “We should commemorate this.”. Not exactly the McShep you wanted, but, still, yeah.

and the one that I recall as one the best:

Bound by Will (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/456325.html) by sheafrotherdon, McShep, PG, aliens mark Rodney against his will.

There's another good, angsty fic that ends with Rodney getting a tattoo, but it's Rodney/Ronon (or very strong Rodney *and* Ronon) by spike21, I think. I could probably dig it up if you were interested.

I think that Breaking Walls (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2897353/1/Breaking_Walls) on Fanfic.net has a multi-lingual Rodney. Be warned - it's long, but it is still a WiP

I have one for you. Both John and Rodney get tatoo'ed, and it's pretty funny. Also sappy, short and sweet. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3911110/1/Yin_and_Yang

thanks! I always thought that since he was a genius, Rodney would be able to (even if he didn't broadcast it like Elizabeth's job has made hers).

Um if you could possibly find and post the link to the rodney/ronon fic you'd really make my day... so if you can find it i'd love to read it. thanks

It's Kept By Ourselves In Silence and Apart (http://spike21.livejournal.com/274341.html) by thespike21; it's McDex, lots of hurt and angst and some torture, but also healing and comfort. Well, some. But pretty darn good all the same.

,,,know it's been awhile, but...
