'Sentientisation' of non-sentient/intelligent things

[squawkward.livejournal.com]

I know - 'sentientisation' is not a word, but I couldn't think of the right word / phrase to use!

Basically I want fics where the characters are not human or any other 'intelligent' life forms. For example: animals, plants, robots, inanimate objects etc. I would prefer McKay or McShep (friendship or slash) centric.

I'd also prefer if they are actually these things rather than 'transformation fics', but I wouldn't say no if you have some good ones to recommend (such as Rodneysaur - so cute!).

Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant that it's the Atlantis characters that are the 'non-sentient' things. E.g. McKay is a robot or even something stupid like a tomato. Crack!fic basically.

Oh I forgot Wraith Killers by Lady Ra. http://visionsofprettyboys.com/Atlantis/WraithKillers.htm
There are intelligent tigers in this one also a Mcshep with Jack and Daniel in the story.

Thanks for the suggestion. However I wasn't clear, I meant to say that it's the sga crew that are the non-sentient things.

Sheppard's ketchup, McKay's a pea (http://lavvyan.livejournal.com/86149.html)

the entire expedition are cans of deodorant (http://archiveofourown.org/works/779829)

This (http://polyfandomrecs.livejournal.com/78072.html) rec list might help.

In my previous search for animal!AUs and animal transformation fic recs (http://sgagenrefinders.livejournal.com/285808.html) there's lots of great fics; I compiled them, and fics I'd dug up myself, into two rec lists: Animal AUs (http://debris-k.livejournal.com/31447.html) and Animal Transformations (http://debris-k.livejournal.com/31676.html). (This was a while ago so let me know if there are any broken links.)

And in an even previous search I looked and got recs for inanimate object (http://sgagenrefinders.livejournal.com/153409.html) tropes. Don't miss out on the girl scout cookies, walls, and all the other wonderful cracky AUs (and transformation fics)! :D

The one where they are Girl Scout Cookies: http://bitter-crimson.livejournal.com/577790.html
The one where they are a cat and a dog: http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=7277

You could also have a look at the Giant McShep AU List where in all stories they have different jobs/lifes. The list is sorted by John's 'job' and it should be easy to browse through and see when a job is an object/animal instead: http://www.squidge.org/GiantMcShepAUList/the-actual-list/

These sound perfect! Thanks for the rec list as well.

[squawkward.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'll do my best to go through them.

[squawkward.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec and the suggestion! That's a very handy hint to know.

I really like the story where they're socks: http://thighholster.livejournal.com/1252.html

I came across this one recently by mific. It's absolute crack, but I think it fits what you're looking for. Jackpot! (http://archiveofourown.org/chapters/135639?add_comment_reply_id=91929&show_comments=true#comment_91929)

Actual summary: "The one where they're in a fruit machine."

It comes with illustrations too.

I have one which I feel weird about self-reccing, but Mific did a brilliant podfic recording so I'll link to that: Stationery Orbit (McShep, where they're school supplies)
