Parents

[sg-girl.livejournal.com]

I've read a ton of stories where Rodney has horrible parents... or misguided parents... etc.  Are there any where he has good, or even great, parents?

I know of none, really, because his home family life being terrible is canon, from the SG-1 ep "Redemption", pt 2 (:"http://www.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/wiki/6.02_%22Redemption_Part_2%22_Transcript"):

McKAY
I had a not-so-comfortable childhood. My parents hated each other, blamed me. Music…was my salvation. It had this…perfect order for me.

I actually hadn't known that... thanks for the info!

The ones I've seen that come close have just the one parent being not so bad - generally, Mama McKay.

For example, Part 2 of "Tale, Theorem, Promise, Plea" (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/735293.html) by sheafrotherdon shows that at its worst (in the beginning, anyway) he's considered an inconvenience, but Mom seems to come around the further into pregnancy she gets. However, it looks like he might slip more towards inconvenience in her eyes as time goes on. But still, there is that shining moment....

Well, there is one where McKay's grandparents are awesome? Thirty-Eight (http://smiley.zonezine.net/html/47117.html) which is an au, spin off of sardonicsmiley's Parallel 'Verse.

This has a John Rodney friendship that ends up McShep but, it is McShep light.

In this story Rodney's dad is a great guy.

Plus it's funny.

I laughed out loud a few times at this one! Thanks!

There´s this one http://teh-helenables.livejournal.com/38495.html#cutid1

And I swear there´s another fic where Rodney builds his nuke and get´s arrested by the CIA until his mom yells them into submission. They try to recruit him when he grows up and I think Rodney mocks them about his file saying something like, `His mom is really scary.´
I couldn´t find it though, so you might have to hit storyfinders for that.

Ha! I had forgotten about McKay's Mom in that one... Thanks for the reminder! It's "Intersections" (http://www.anyroad.org/kaneko/intersections.html) by Kaneko.

Thanks to both of you for the great recs.

There's a fic Casting On (http://www.fantasi.net/castingon.html) by Chandri MacLeod where Jessica Fletcher from 'Murder, She Wrote' is Rodney's great aunt and she's the one of the two of his relatives he could ever stand.

I usually don't do crossovers, but this might be one of my new favs. Thanks for the rec!

For the love of god, I looked in all my files/folders and I could not remember where I put the Aunt Jessica story. Now I can put it in a good place. LOL
