Need Help Finding A Rodney Whump Fanfic.

Hi everyone,

So, I hope I'm posting in the right place. As the title suggests, I really need help with finding a particular story that is frustrating me to no end. It features Rodney getting unknowingly injured (shot or shrapnel) in the back, on an off-world mission.

I can barely remember the details but, there's a mad dash to the jumper because either Teyla or John is injured (in the leg?) and Rodney is oblivious to his own peril, only complaining of back pain. He has to fly everyone back to Atlantis in the jumper but is overlooked during the medical frenzy in the jumper bay and is left behind as Carson rushes everyone out to the infirmary.

Rodney passes out on the console, still sitting in the pilot seat until he's later found (by John, I think) in hypovolemic shock. That's all I can remember. If I'm honest, it's probably a long shot but it's driving me nuts trying to hunt it down. Any help would be wonderful! 😊
