A Hundred Happy Things by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
busaikko, John/Rodney, NC-17
Summary: Harlequin AU (no Stargate). Kaleb's long gone, Jeannie's got a career, Madison has problems, Rodney's got Inner Power! and Sheppard.. . is pretty much the same.
A beautifully complex clear-eyed treatment of the subject matter.. annnd I'm not going to give away the big spoiler (although I highlighted it for myself and it was a selling point). John, Rodney, Jeannie, even Madison are totally imperfect, and you accept them as they are. We love them for all their flaws. In a very subtle blend,busaikko has treated the same theme from four different angles, so by the time you get to John, you can see why Rodney's acceptance level is very, very high. Rodney's accepted a lot in his life and he brings the reader with him. Oh, and Maddie isn't even remotely the perfect angel-child. Not even close. Best of all, busaikko dialogue and Rodney's inner monologue has snap and is unpredictable.
Blush byhelenish, John/Rodney, NC-17
Summary: It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Helen gives us another look at a sexually shy John, and here again we have a subtle story. Shyness isn't played for cuteness or sweetness. It is not easy for the people he's with.
Sophomore Slump bysardonicsmiley, John/Rodney, PG-13
Summary: It’s AU, and a crossover, and I’m pretty sure done before, as well. Set in the Sky High worldCurse you, Disney. John’s at a new school all of a week before he’s made friends with all the outcasts.
Thanks tosardonicsmiley's version of Rodney as Iron Man, now I'm hooked on all her work (blame dossier). I have never heard of this Disney movie, and the whole thing should be absurd (I have a feeling the movie is) but... I found myself drawn into this high school world, the way I could stop watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off: weird, yet so familier. Her characterization of John and Rodney (as well as Teyla) are compelling, and just like her Iron Man fic, I found myself buying it. sardonicsmiley is one of those author's in fandom who has a knack for action. Don't think for one second this isn't a WIP. But the second novella is already in the works and is being regularly updated.
