Annoyed McKay and McKay/Teyla Friendship

[squawkward.livejournal.com]

(1) Stories where McKay is annoyed with the little things - for example in the episode Grace Under Pressure, he gets really frustrated with the tiny 'keys' on his tablet, or like in my life right now - trying to unscrew a child safety cap off a medicine bottle when I'm pathetically ill and weak.

(2) McKay/Teyla friendship stories, especially focussing on how Teyla talks/encourages McKay into doing to his work - almost as if she's talking to a child (not condesending though!) and playing to his ego such as in Aurora and Tabula Rasa. The last recs I've found in this comm and stargateficrec seems to be from 2008 - so anything newer than that would be great.

(I don't mind if any these stories are McShep or just Gen)

Thanks!

For #2 (all no pairing)

For a well written, long Rodney and Teyla story where the two of them are left keeping each other going and holding Atlantis together while Pegasus crumbles around them. Thoughtful and funny plus has possibly the best summary ever: "You're not God, Sheppard's not your messiah, and I'm not the anti-Christ. But I am going to kill you."

Next one is specifically written as a Rodney and Teyla friendship story. The two of them struggle for 3 months, trapped together on an alien world, stuck trying to protect their parcel and get home while prisoners.

An accident with an Ancient device gives Rodney an extra set of sexual organs. It's Teyla who gets him, and the rest of the team, though it by being completely unflappable.

Slightly less relevant is Teyla trying to repair the rift between John and Rodney post-Doranda and improve the friendship bonds of the team:

Here's an AU that might fit your #2 McKay/Teyla friendship request.
Summary: Teyla Emmagan (C.W.El.E., L.W.M.) and Dr. Rodney McKay (C.W.El.F., Ph.D., Ph.D.) are hired to investigate an anomalous geological development, but they soon learn much more is at stake.

I have one! I was going to rec Pilgrim's Progress, but somebody already did that.

But there's also Finagle's Quake by neonhummingbird.

Not only does it have Rodney and Teyla trapped in a cave-in together, it has McKay beginning to notice the kindergartner tone Teyla and Elizabeth use on him. It's kind of awesome.

(ugly links are ugly, sorry!)
