Rodney Surviving on His Own and Rodney Recovering From Mission Gone Wrong

[water-soter.livejournal.com]

1) Hey guys! I read the "Great Doctor McKay" and now I'm looking for stories where Rodney is left behind on a planet or is separated from his team or kidnapped by the baddies and has to survive on his own or escape on his own until he's rescued or has to find his own way home. Rodney-centered or heavily featured please!! I would prefer gen and friendship stories but I don't mind McShep. I just really want well written stories, with a plot and in-character. It can be AU, Canon AU, fantasy, scifi, supernatural, harlequin, genderbender (Always a girl Meredith), fusions, crossovers (Rodney-centered with SGA characters at the forefront) etc. Happy Endings please!!

2) I'm also looking for stories that deal with the aftermath of a mission gone wrong. Trauma recovery, PTSD, etc. I read one a long time ago where John and Rodney go to Jeannie's because Rodney has PTSD and Carter forced Rodney to recover on earth. That's the kind of stories I'm looking for. Rodney-centered or heavily featured please!! I would prefer gen and friendship stories but I don't mind McShep. I just really want well written stories, with a plot and in-character. It can be AU, Canon AU, fantasy, scifi, supernatural, harlequin, genderbender (Always a girl Meredith), fusions, crossovers (Rodney-centered with SGA characters at the forefront) etc. Happy Endings please!!

Thanks in advance!!

For #1, try Academic by miss_porcupine? Gen, canon-compliant, early season two-ish, ~2000 words, and with a happy ending.

1. Warm and Safe and Dry ;; McKay accompanies another team to a new planet, and is left behind...

For #2, "Maybe I'm Dead, I Just Haven't Stopped Moving Yet," by cybersyd42 is my favorite of this genre -- very much Rodney-centric, but with liberal doses of John and Carson, and great "cameo appearances" by Teyla, Ronon, and Radek Zelenka that add a lot to the story. This is a fairly long story, and gets to be very angst-intensive at times, but you'll be happy with the ending.

It's all for #1 of your request.
The Seekers (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4886272/1/The-Seekers) by Tipper, gen. It is more about dynamic of McKay and rest of team, than about Rodney. But it's a long and beautifully done fanfiction.
"A kidnapped McKay, traps, a focused Ronon, more traps, a determined Sheppard and Teyla, traps again, a temple of doom, even more traps, OCs with guns, and a dash of team love to finish it off. And, as it's me, something probably explodes."

Dead or Alive (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2778523/1/Dead-or-Alive) by Grey Lupous, gen. It's equally focused on Rodney and John. And I just loved this fic from first sight.

Repellent (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=13182) by Neena, preslash. Slightly doesn't fit your request, but too good to not recommend.

Permutationality (http://smiley.zonezine.net/html/62850.html) by sardonic smile, gen (maybe pre-slash). Rodney is not left behind on planet. Oh no, it's worse. He lives among wraiths.

Timeless (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4759110/1/Timeless) by xVardax, gen. And what can be much worse, than living on Hive ship? Right, it is living on Atlantis, but out of phase and time. It is when you're at home, but no one can help and see you. It is surviving mad scientist and dark monster, that hunting you.

Into the Woods (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_genficathon/8856.html) by greyias, gen. Lovely, short and funny fic.
(and sorry for my english)

[water-soter.livejournal.com]

W00T!!! SO Many!!! Thank you very much for all these recs!!

[alieri.livejournal.com]

You are welcome.)) And here is one more.
What is Needed Most (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2281241/1/What-is-Needed-Most) by sablecain, gen. It's a classic "Kolya kidnapped Rodney" story.
