Looking for Protective Rodney fics

[thdancingferret.livejournal.com]

I'm recovering from recent surgery that has left me able to do little *except* read. So I'm hoping you all can point me towards a specific type of fic.

Basically, I'm looking for fics where Rodney protects John. From those who are trying to get John court martialed for being gay - like say, Caldwell - to fics where Rodney actively protects John from some threat, like an attack offworld, etc. I prefer slash, but preslash, teamfic and gen friendship fics are good, too. Bonus points for a strong, competent, even devious, gloves-off Rodney who's willing to do whatever it takes to protect John.

Posting this now, since it's already taken me a half hour just to type this much, but much thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Here are a few of my favorite long McShep stories (ordered by length) to get you started. I hope your recuperation goes well.

Finding Home by Diamond Raven [NC-17]

Summary: When John continued staring at him blankly, Rodney thought he'd clarify. "We're going to run, John. We've got two weeks before the Daedalus gets here. Which means in a week and a half, we have to be long gone from the city."

It probably doesn't list quite what you're looking for, but the Giant McShep AU list that Elderwitty keeps will probably have some stories like that... if nothing else, it's a great list of fic that you don't have work hard to get to...

Feel better soon!

The Sweep of Easy Wind (http://archiveofourown.org/works/785073) by Blackchaps is the first thing your rec made me think of.

This one is pretty angsty (includes Rodney submitting to rape to protect John): Lay Me Down So (http://archiveofourown.org/works/251005/chapters/388646) by lovesrain44.

Not only does this count as protective!Rodney, but I have it filed specifically under "BAMF!Rodney". It's "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up" by sardonicsmiley. This is an incredible fic for how short it is - but it never ceases to make me love Rodney all that much more.
