Rodney + animal companion

[crooked-halo8.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for stories in which Rodney has a pet on Atlantis, real or mechanical/Ancient/whatever.

I've only ever read a few, and I can only remember three of them off the top of my head:

+ Wraith Killers
+ Sigma Draconis
+ The Trouble with Tribbles

(All of which, btw, I recommend.)

McShep stories win you extra cookies, but I certainly won't turn away any Rodney-centric gen fics.

It's just a short fic but so lovely. McShep & a cat.

I do have an extra-soft soft spot for Rodney and his cats. Thanks for the link!

You're very welcome. :-)

Rodney gets adopted by an almost-Labrador almost-puppy! Of course, both him and John end up being jealous of it. *g* The Principle Business of Life (http://ladycat777.livejournal.com/939473.html) by ladycat777 Woobie!sick!Rodney with puppy for the win!

More pet!fics that shouldn't be missed:

Once Upon a Furry Octopus (http://skoosiepants.livejournal.com/109266.html) by skoosiepants, McShep (be sure to read the sequel(s) in which they adobt to keep their furry octopus happy ♥ ♥ ♥)

Not Your Everyday Care Package (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=12701) by shaddyr, Rodney-centric gen, in which Rodney receives an unexpected present; has a McShep sequel Trouble (http://shaddyr.livejournal.com/191929.html), and the verse was continued into pornier watters by the_cephalopod in The Trouble with Kittens – Take One... (http://the-cephalopod.livejournal.com/10480.html), with assurances of more parts to come. Just noticed, there's another sequel to the lot: Right Where You Belong (http://shaddyr.livejournal.com/195616.html) also by lj user=shaddyr>.

When the Kittens Have You (http://www.thedragonborn.net/fanfic/tielan/sga-kittenshaveyou.htm) by tielan, Rodney-centric gen, humor (I haven't read it yet, but now I'm quite interested! Big cats+Rodney+team can't be all bad, can it?)

It Followed Me Home... Can I Keep It? (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=4054) by The Huntress, McShep; the boys find an alien puppy and bring it home. (I haven't read this one either, so I'm not reccing it, just throwing it out here with the others.)

Mincemeat (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/190210.html) by torakowalski, McShep and pre-Radek/Carson, John brings Rodney an almost!kitten. (Sheesh, one of these days I'll catch up to all the pet!fics, I could've sworn I'd read more of them... oh well.)

...And that, I think, is it for what I can remember. Oh, there was one by LadyRa, I think, in which Atlantis gets re-populated by big tiger-like Wraith-killing cats, but that is not exactly a pet fic, is it?

[crooked-halo8.livejournal.com]

Wheeeee! Thank you very much! I can't wait to dig in. :D

Oh, there was one by LadyRa, I think, in which Atlantis gets re-populated by big tiger-like Wraith-killing cats, but that is not exactly a pet fic, is it?

That would be "Wraith Killers," which, if you haven't read, I do recommend. And it is a pet fic! Rodney gets the original Wraith-killing-tiger-cat as a pet kitten from John. ;) And then it goes from there, lol.

Thanks again for all the links!

Re: "Wraith Killers" - *facepalm* I noticed you posted it first on your list of already read pet!fics the minute I hit "send". I've read it, but it's been a while (obviously).

Oh, in the meantime I've read the previously unread fics from my list - "Mincemeat" is utterly lovely and schmoopy, and "When the Kittens..." is actually set off-world, the team runs into large cats. Really *large*. And "It Followed Me..." remains The Huntress' fic, and that's all I will say about that.

Anyways, glad you liked and hope you enjoy reading!

This doesn't fic exactly but it came to mind when I read this post. In "The World According to Rover", Rodney gets a semi-sentient cart. It may not be organic but it sure acts like a pet. :D You can find it at Wraithbait.
