John and Rodney aren't friends

[sdcd.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm looking for fics there John and Rodney aren't friends for some reason.
- not lemon chicken stuff
- not dark alternative universes
But fic needs to be about them, about their relationship. Maybe John just doesn't want to take Rodney's bullshit. Maybe he just pretends to be friends with him, because they are team. But John doesn't think highly about McKay.
But through the fic he understands he's wrong about him. So in the end he starts working on mending their relationship.

A big part of Invisible Planet (https://archiveofourown.org/works/765283) is John coming to terms with what happened on Doranda and repairing his relationship with Rodney. There's absolutely NO lemon chicken.The story is John/Radek (and, imho, fantastic).

Well, there are gen fics that are pretty close to your request.
See No Evil (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4503370/1/See-No-Evil) by Greywolf Lupous. They have a not very good start, but John is drawn to Rodney and want to be Rodney's friend, while Rodney doesn't want it and behaves rudely. Throughout the history John several times changed hs opinion about Rodney.
After his "retirement" from the Air Force, test pilot John Sheppard finds himself drawn into a world where nothing is what it first seems. Not his new employer, their groundbreaking new plane... or even his irritating co-worker, Dr. Rodney McKay. -- AU.

The Trench (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2304926/1/The-Trench) by Tipper. Season 1 timing. They are a team, but they are strangers to each other. John's opinion of Rodney is not very high, but events of mission makes him to reconsider his decisions.
The team explores a planet that the Ancients have mysteriously placed in a different file of gate addresses—and you just know they must have had a very good reason for it.

Bioluminescence (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2111403/1/Bioluminescence) by Tipper. Season 1 timing. John is rude and hostile to Rodney and always teasing him. Rodney gives the same: anger, sarcasm, prejudice. But when they have to work together hand in hand in order not to die, they did not become friends, but found a balance, an equilibrium in communication.
A small, innocuous looking temple on the top of a tree covered hill held secrets none of them could have imagined (Halloween story of sorts)

Sea-scape (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2525300/1/Sea-scape) by kamelion. Set in 1s. John is kind of jerk and Rodney doesn't trust him at all.
I have seen the moments of my greatness flicker, and I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, and in short, I was afraid. T.S. Eliot References to Hide and Seek and Before I Sleep. Now Chaptered.
