Rodney as a mentor

[vacilicamalfoy.livejournal.com]

1. Mentor Rodney
Are there any fics where Rodney sees some untapped potential in one of his scientists, or possibly a soldier, or a Daedalus crew member and decides to supervise them personally or at least help them along somehow ?
Or he meets a bright young talent on earth and helps them out as much as he can?

2. Protective Rodney
I'm looking for stories where Rodney intervenes when one of his staff is bullied or sexually harassed or even just discredited by a jealous colleague. Or possibly where he notices a marine in trouble and points it out to Sheppard.

Thanks in advance

1. A foot in your door (http://www.improvidence.net/foot.html) sort of fits the 'he meets a bright young talent' part of request. Some aliens forced Sheppard and McKay to adapt 20-something-eayr old genuis and Rodney teaches him quite unwillingly.

2. Three Times Rodney McKay had a Superpower; One Time He Was Just a Hero (http://smiley.zonezine.net/html/27051.html) by sardonicsmiley, where he's protective towards Miko at some point of the story.

"Old Soldiers Die Hard" (http://friendshipper.livejournal.com/21437.html) by friendshipper -- No Pairings.... First, Rodney tutors, then financially aids in education, and then recommends someone for the SGC program.

for 2, there's a scene in Indelible (http://shaenie.livejournal.com/332275.html) by shaenie where Miko's harassed and Rodney intervenes (with John). McShep, ~129,000 words, strongly recced

Maybe?

One of the classics of the fandom should fit your request, Rodney ends up teaching post Atlantis.

Be warned it is a several hanky fic but ultimately satisfying.
