McShep Planned Parenthood

[snowglow1275.livejournal.com]

I just read Future Perfect over on mcsheplets and have a yen for parenthood fics wherein John and Rodney go about things in a more 'normal' way than usual. No funky ancient hi-jinks, no Mpreg. Any fics where they think it through and know what they're getting into, whether that involves adoption or surrogacy, when they decide to have a baby. I should mention that I have also read the Iowa 'Verse. Any rating, AU is great. Thank you!

The closest match I can think of off the top of my head is "Bridge Isn't Burned" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4576801/1/Bridge_Isnt_Burned) by arianna99 (liadan14).


Would you accept McShep adopting their own child from mpreg in alternate universe? If so, then there's "Finding Family" (http://crazy-obsessed.livejournal.com/7665.html) by crazy_obsessed.

Possibilities....:

"Unexpectable" (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=7770) by coreopsis -- Although there wasn't advanced planning into having a family, John acquires a son from Teer & he & Rodney hook up into a family unit, which included baby-boy Sheppard &, temporarily, Athosian nanny/wet-nurse.

"Lighting" (http://www.subtle-salvation.com/v5/viewstory.php?sid=235) by ladycat777 -- No mention is really made on the origins of their baby... just that she's theirs, which means it could be by way of surrogacy or who-knows-what-kind of Ancient hijinks, which may have resulted in mpreg.

"Hope, Duty, Pride, Home" (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/736846.html) by sheafrotherdon -- John & Rodney adopt child found in the ruins of a village which had been destroyed by the Wraith.

Sentience series (http://davidhewlett.tarlanx.com/fiction/viewseries.php?seriesid=9) by tarlanx -- I'm not sure this quite falls into Ancient hijinks, but the Expedition finds the Artificial Wombs / Incubators that the Ancients used to produce their children, & John & Rodney deliberately decide together to produce a child via said Ancient device.

I've read a few of these but it's been a while so thank you for bringing them to my attention again. I look forward to checking out the new stuff, too. Thank you!

Grandview series by fawkesielady_ed the first kid is had through surrogacy but the second is mpreg so if that bugs you I'd stop reading when they start planing it. http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=scifigrl0&keyword=grandview&filter=all pretty sure there all there and in order it was posted two different places.

Wow, looks great. The surrogacy and planning is really perfect, as for the Mpreg, I don't have a problem with it (not a squick or anything), it just wasn't part of what I was looking for. Thank you!
