I love AUs ... if someone else doesn't write any of these, I may write some of them myself!
--John and Rodney are reporters working for rival (pick a media - TV/newspaper/etc) companies, when the companies unexpectedly merge and now they have to work together
--John and Rodney were best friends through high school but went off to different coasts to different colleges for different careers and drifted apart. Ten years after college graduation, they find themselves back home.
--Single parent John and single parent Rodney find themselves dealing with an 'unfair' teacher who seems to be picking on their kids.
--Now that DADT is repealed and gay marriage is openly supported, the military wants to appear supportive of single sex couples. As the "known" gay military commander of Atlantis, John is pressured to find a couple in his command to be 'representative' for publicity purposes. Rather than put someone else on the spot, John decides maybe he can ask Rodney to pretend with him.
--Any variation of the 'professors at the same college' trope; I love competent!John and sassy Rodney; maybe they can even win Rodney's Nobel together!
Okay... more as I have time to think them through!
