Emotional Gut Punch

[sara-wolf.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for fics (gen or any pairing) that focus on Rodney being emotionally hurt. Rodney is insecure, feels rejected, etc. Not just a little, but stories that evoke that cold, sinking feeling, like you just got kicked in the stomach. Happy and sad endings welcome.

I'm sure you've read this, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Sandstorms by Mithreon. http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=11931&warning=12

This is one of my favorite angst-fests. Broken Trust (http://www.chaps1870.com/brokentrust.htm) by Chaps1870

How about "Rodney's Miserable Childhood Masterlist" by Korilian, there are some really emotional stories on the list. http://korilian.livejournal.com/46090.html

Not Resistible (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3998194/1/Not-Resistible) by Thought Reflex, gen. Angst! with hint of non-con. If it doesn't evoke sinking, terrible feeling, I don't know what will.
"After Lucius was removed from Atlantis everyone breathed a relieved sigh and normality returned. Except one individual was damaged more then anyone knows and is left to suffer the consequences in silence. McKay centric, Sheppard, Ronon. Heed Warning!"

Wit's End (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4247023/1/Wit-s-End) by Greywolf Lupous, gen. Good old emotional torture and time loop.
"Trust me, Colonel, when I do finally snap, I assure you, it's not going to be a pretty sight." -- Everyone has their breaking point, including one Dr. Rodney McKay."

Flinch (http://maisierita.livejournal.com/10900.html) by maisierita, one-sided McShep. When I feel myself a little masochistic, I reread this fic. Because it doesn't just leave you confused and sad, but makes you flinch.
"Rodney can't read people, Rodney is always oblivious, so Rodney had always been safe, would have never figured it out, but now he knows, and when John had touched him, he'd flinched."
