No Home Fires Burning

I'd love to be pointed towards some stories that theme around Rodney's parents being emotionally unattached to their children, especially Rodney.  I know this is classified as abuse, but I'm not looking for stories of physical abuse or gross and deliberate neglect, just stories that highlight parents who were emotionally absent, who didn't provide emotional support for Rodney (however you want to interpret that), maybe who hadn't wanted children, didn't like Rodney or found him too much trouble....

The same request can also be directed toward John.  Slash is always welcome, and gen is fine also, but no het please.

A Complexity of Forms (http://stop.livejournal.com/12394.html) by stop fits your request and manages to be great even with a second person POV. It's the one with the origami. Slash, but ambiguous.

Atlas of the Far Side of the Moon (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/569493.html) by 2ndary_author sprang to mind the second I read your request. It's the gorgeous backstory with chapters named after features of the moon. Gen. Or maybe pre-McShep, if you squint.

If you're okay with AUs, smittywing's The Best Things In Life Are Free (http://www.offpanel.net/smittywing/stories/tbtilafcover.html) is beyond awesome. It's the one based on Can't Buy Me Love. McShep.

For John, there's always A Beautiful Lifetime Event (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/lifetime_event.html) by astolat. It's the hugely beloved kid!fic where their daughter is called Hypatia. Slowly, slowly McShep.

I'll try to think of some others. I know I've read tons.
