Specific McShep kid!fics

[crooked-halo8.livejournal.com]

I'm searching for two specific kinds of McShep kid!fics. I've come across a few kid!fic lists in the SGA fandom, but they never differentiate between the kinds of kid!fic: mpreg, adoption, one biological parent, two biological parents, guardianship, de-aging, just a kid in the story, etc. And I like to know these things before I start reading.

So here's what I'm looking for:

1) Kid!fics in which both John and Rodney are the biological parents, but without any mpreg (that I know how to find):
--- Ex: A Beautiful Lifetime Event & Atlantis Observed

...or...

2) Kid!fics in which neither John nor Rodney are the biological parents, but are raising the kid(s):
--- Ex: The 'Raising Madison' Series & Weddings, Plural, and a Yak

AU or not; all recs are welcome. I really have no idea how many of these kinds of fic are out there in the SGA fandom, so I'm asking! :)

Just to be clear, I am not looking for:
* mpreg
* only Rodney is a biological parent
* only John is a biological parent

I hope that doesn't limit the search to zero, but we'll see. Any help is appreciated!

As long as they follow rules 1 or 2, I'll take any recs, AU or not. I'll edit the post to say that, I just didn't before because I'll take any ideas. :)

Lj ate my previous comment. :-(

Anyways, I was reccing rageprufrock's "Bell Curve" series (can be found on her site among her SGA fics (http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/index.php#sga)), an AU in which Rodney and John get together, then accidentally end up adopting two kids, neither of which is their biological relation. I'm fairly sure, at least. :-)

You know, I think I've read the very first story in that series, and then completely forgot that it continued and never got around to reading them. Thanks for the rec! I didn't know they had kids in it.

(And just for my knowledge, do you know how many parts make up that series?)

There's 7 stories on the site - I'm fairly sure that's the lot, as it's not a new series, but you can always check out Pru's blog (linked at her site) to make sure.

And just to reassure you, it's a fanfastic, wonderful, humorous and crack-filled series. Has it's share of angst, but nothing overly permanent, and the last story is as awesome as the first.

The series starts off with Rodney seeing John strip at a club, then John becomes Rodney's TA (Rodney's a uni teacher), then John becomes Rodney's imaginary boyfriend, and from there they progress to living together, accidental adoptions, and almost-marital life with kids. Hope that was spoilery enough to entice you on, but not enough to ruin the series for you.

Oh yeah, and "Curve Ball" is a minor crossover with due South; but even if you don't know the fandom/characters it won't affect the rest of the story.

Excellent; I can't wait to start reading!
