Adventures in Babysitting

[shibela.livejournal.com]

 
I'm looking for stories where those in Atlantis are asked - and in some cases, practically press-ganged - to babysit for someone else's child or children.  The children can be some Pegasus variety of people or one of the Atlantis Expedition's relatives -- just can't be babysitting their own child / children.  I'd like these to be humorous, but if they're not, that's fine.

As stated in previous searches, I have a general preference for McShep pairing or Gen!Fic, but I'm open to reading whatever pairings there are for this search.  Please label the pairings where applicable.
 
 
Some of my favorites, to give you a guideline for this search, include:
 
"Hot Potato" by Auburn (auburnnothenna ) --  No Pairings other than Teyla/Kanaan
"Five Times Rodney McKay Babysat the Athosians" by cat77  -- No Pairings
"Woobies of Woe" by AbylityMaren -- No Pairings
"Little Wonders" by WolfenMoondaughter -- McShep Pairing
"Family" by obsessed1 -- No Pairings, OT4 team/family
"The Pegasus Babysitters Club" by grammarwoman  -- McShep Pairing
"Mr. Mom" by b7-kerravon -- No Pairings
** "Knot that Kind of Sheppard" by danceswithgary  (her Screen Savor 'verse) -- McShep Pairing
   
 
Thanks in advance!!

I can't believe I'm self-pimping again *rolls eyes But apparently I struck nearly every trope available with my Fanfic100 table :D No McShep and only het, though... is that okay for you?

#1 True Anarchists (http://gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com/157939.html) (third part of a trilogy, the other two parts are Potato, Potahto and I Hate You (http://gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com/156985.html)) implied established Mehra/McKay (no, I kid you not... but that wasn't my fault!), Lorne/Cadman friendship, teeny bit of UST, maybe

#2 A Tale or Two (http://gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com/147130.html) (second part of a two-parter, first part is I Won't Be on My Own (http://gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com/75401.html)), established Lorne/Cadman, established (but not too overt) John/Teyla

Oh, and one that isn't really babysitting... but very close to it ;)

#3 Leave Them Kids Alone (http://gelbes-gilatier.livejournal.com/90592.html), Lorne/Cadman friendship

My apologies for the late reply.... Thank you so much for your suggestions! I'll leave comments as I re-read them...because I do remember enjoying them the first time around. :D

The Geek's and Goon's Guide to Baby and Child Care (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4018728/1/The_Geeks_and_Goons_Guide_to_Baby_and_Child_Care) by likethekoschka from 'Geeks and Goons' series. John and Rodney are babysitting Madison and Teyla's baby.

My apologies for the late reply - I had meant to leave my "thank you's" after reading them, and then proceeded to read & forget the rest. So.... Thank you!! I absolutely loved these. :D

Maybe not what you want, but there's a bunch where one or more of the team is (temporarily) de-aged and other team or expedition members have to babysit them. One of those is Guardian (http://ediblewolfpeach.livejournal.com/8764.html) and its sequels by ediblewolfpeach/R. Tom Mato, which has Ronon babysitting the rest of the team and toddler-Teyla shouting at him that he's a very bad man when he tries to enforce bedtime... :)

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Not quite what I was looking for, but it was still as fun a read the second time around as it was the first. :D Poor, poor Ronon.... LOL!! Thank you!

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Eh, I sort of knew it wasn't, but I love poor beleaguered babysitting Ronon in it so much I couldn't resist pointing to it. :)

The Price That Life Exacts by Cathalin

http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=38

This is a very good (long) fic where Rodney ends up taking care & raising a baby while John is missing (don't want to spoil anything). It isn't a "babysitting" fic exactly but there's plenty of awkward Rodney-ness reluctantly dealing with a baby at the beginning.

Thank you! :)

These are iffy- long-term caretaking that also isn't guardianship or true parenthood but lasts longer than a few hours;

[snowglow1275.livejournal.com]

Whoops! Sorry!

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

googling yielded a link to a "The Sound of Science" by le_mot_mo (not busaikko) that looks like a remix of The Sound of Music, with Rodney as Maria and John as Colonel Von Trapp? (yes, I was curious too) http://www.little-things.be/sga-sos.html

My apologies for the late reply -- I was happily immersed in reading all the lovely suggestions. Thank you so much for your contributions to my request! :D

[busaikko]

self-rec /o\: I wrote Canada Likes It on Top, which is Sheppard and McKay babysitting Madison on Earth.

I've been terribly remiss in giving thanks in this request for all the suggestions, and hope you'll forgive my tardiness. Anyhow... Thank you so much!! :D
