Have you seen the meme with fanfiction that says something like: Sometimes you just want a hundred PB&Js?  This is in reference to always reading the same trope or seeking out one specific thing over and over in fanfic.  

See, sometimes I want humor.  Sometimes I want gen.  Only gen (or gen masquerading as pre slash).  Sometimes I want feelings realization and only feelings realization.

Apparently, lately, I only want poor emotionally tortured Rodney trying to cope with all the fallout from his actions.  I want lots and lots and lots of it.  If it references gating Elizabeth, all the better.  Replicator code? Yes, please. It needs some h/c with it, and friends that stand by him no matter what and help him see the good in him.  I LOVE THIS SO MUCH YOU ALL. I can't even tell you.

So I wrote this a lot. I also got my wonderful friend Mas_Pebbles_Sharp to write a story for me about it for Fandom Trumps Hate. It has everything I love, plus sea monster and Rodney imprisoned for months and whump! So go check it out:

Sentenced by Mas_Pebbles_Sharp.
Description: Pain. Mind-bending, nerve-screaming, something is terribly, terribly wrong pain. Was he dying? Rodney thought this time maybe there was no going back because surely you could not experience this much agony unless you were going to die? And surely the sense of profound loss and hopelessness he couldn’t put memories to made death the best of all options? He didn’t just give in to the darkness, he ran after it, only too willing to escape his agony.

Note: McShep, McKay/Sheppard/Ronon, definitely read the tags.

And then there are all the stories I've written or podfic'd lately in this vein.  The latest of which is pretty much exactly the same PB&J sandwich I always eat, just dressed a little different to give it some flavor. This time the flavor comes in the form of self-destructive behaviors that have been slowly escalating. The story starts after it's gone too far when Rodney agrees to a punishment ritual off-world after a village blames him for recent deaths. 

I had to write this one when I woke up and I clearly heard Carson telling Rodney, "I'm sorry, son, Colonel Sheppard has advised we put you on a 48-hour hold pending a mental health evaluation."  

And after that was in my head, how could I not write it?????  Like, what would happen that John would take such a drastic step?

Blame Thy Foolish Self by Tazmy.   

This one is established McShep with nothing more than some handholding and a sentence or two saying they are together.
