The Deranged Mckay Masterlist, part 2 Update:02/11/07
I give. It's time to chop this bitch up before my computer croaks (I can't be the only one suffering from Dino computer syndrome). For your reading pleasure and my updating ease, the Deranged Mckay master list has been split into two posts. Use the tags, or simply follow the easy to use links. A monkey could do it!
PART 1 Featuring: (This would be that easy to use link I was telling you about)
The serious mental health problem list That Mckay fella was never quite right in the head you know. Maybe it was clear from childhood that he was just a little left of normal. Or maybe he skated on fine for years, right up to his first psychotic episode. Whatever the cause, there's no coming back from this kind of madness.
The nervous breakdown list Rodney was perfectly sane right up to the point where the pressure drove him around the bend. Then there were pills and drugs and howling and the voluntary exile to the swamp (provided they don't lock him in Steve's cell first).
PART 2 Featuring:
The 'OMG they broke Rodney' list Rodney was perfectly sane right up to the point where he pushed the wrong button, or gated to a world where the aliens decided to fuck with his head.
The 'flying HIGH' list A new section, for all the Rodney's that are perfectly sane.... unless they're high as a kite on amphetamines, antihistamines or other a-mines. Here's to the Rodney's that couldn't cope without a little chemical aid (and seriously, if there is alcoholic Mckay out there, I want it!)
==================
The 'OMG they broke Rodney' list
Rodney was perfectly sane right up to the point where he pushed the wrong button, or gated to a world where the aliens decided to fuck with his head.

All the kings men by
cinaed
They didn't just break Rodney. The broke Radek as well! The two deranged scientists end up institutionalized on Earth. And all the kings horses, and all the kings men, couldn't put humpty dumpty together again. It's driving me wild that we'll never know how it began, or how it will end, but the story is stronger for it.
Warnings: none.
The future of happiness and Rodney Mckay by
mklutz
Really Rodney breaks himself in this one. He uses a gizmo to make him even smarter for the impending Wraith siege, but it kind of turns him into a sociopath. It's the whole IQ versus EQ conundrum. It does kind of explain why the ancients where such fuckers.
Warnings: none.
Cursed by golden_starfish
Rodney isn't dealing with all his inner emo, so Atlantis makes him see dead people. And then when that doesn't seem to be working, she locks him in a room with them. This is probably a good thing, because otherwise he would have been on the first flight back to Earth... So once again, it's Heightmeyer's secret notes biting them in the ass, rather then actual insanity.
Warnings: none.
The puppet master by cybersyd
Rodney starts to act weird, and hurting himself and being a menace to society, so they decide he's had his first psychotic break and throw him in the brig (Heightmeyer had been seeing signs of schizophrenia for ages. See! What did I tell you about those notes!) In the end it's nothing a little electro shock can't cure, so Rodney's left not schizophrenic, but a big basket case with PTSD and trust issues. Poor woobie.
Warnings: Self harm.
Battle scars by
kitakatz
The expedition turns Rodney into their sacrificial lamb to get a ZPM. Fortunately the subsequent hallucinations and insanity prevent him from putting two and two together. They also prevent him from realizing he hasn't been eating or sleeping and then they prevent him doing the critical work that will safe Atlantis from annihilation. I believe this is what we call Karma. Stuck in WIP hell.
Warnings: Unusual cruelty to Rodneys.
Paper doll chains by
sethoz
And we've come to what perhaps is the most fucked up Rodney of them all. Aliens steal Rodney's brain because he won't build them a dooms day device. He's left, not just insane, but Poor stupid crazy Rodney, locked in his quarters making paper doll chains, like he can put himself back together again if he can just cut the perfect chain. This one has to be in the top five of angstiest angst ever written. Tragically stuck in WIP hell! Use the tag to read all ten chapters!
Warnings: unusual cruelty to Rodneys.
I'm not broken by
libra_traveller
Rodney accidentally uses a brain splicing device on himself. When he starts blacking out and acting scary, decides he's schizophrenic (she's been seeing signs remember). Instead he's developing multiple personalities (one of them is his mother?!?). Now that's crazy! Warnings: unusual cruelty to Rodneys.
The ratio of burning by
stillane
Rodney goes through this ritual that only the may complete and he comes back from his little jaunt a good little worker drone, without any kind personality... or self preservation... and people are kind of freaked out by the fact that you can't really tell he's even when he's not working. They really just want to steer clear of him, but he kind of needs someone telling him to sleep and eat. But man is he efficient like this! Also check out the cover art! It's very Night watch. I love Nigh watch. When is Day watch coming out?!?
Warnings: character death (temporary).
The strange case of Dr. Mckay and mr. X by
dossier
Remember Doranda? Well the people on Mediya certainly do, since it might just be what's poisoning their planet. They decide the punishment for genocide is erasing the perpetrator. The team left with Mckay, but they return to Atlantis with mr. X, who seems perfectly nice and friendly and not Rodney, right up to the point where he brutally rapes and decapitates three woman! As it turns out Rodney's consciousness is still stored somewhere, so all's fine. Except remembering the rape and murder of your girlfriend and co-workers is enough to drive anyone round the bend. Sometimes dying is a mercy...
Warnings: Rape. Murder. Character deaths. Suicide.
scheherazade by
in_wintertime
What if you could put someone's life on a disk and keep it as a memory long after they're gone. Rodney thinks that would be pretty awesome. Right up to the point where they do it to him, because Rodney would NEVER volunteer for a dangerous untested procedure (oh wait)... So maybe he wouldn't have been so upset about it, if the bad guys hadn't been total dicks and you know, his mind! People keep having geekasms over his most private memories. And then John invades his privacy some more (but for GOOD! Not EVIL!) and then they sort of end up with two Rodney's for the price of one for a bit. Only one of them is really smooth with the ladiez and likes to jog and stuff.
Warnings: Unusual cruelty to Rodneys. Maybe mental rape?
Infinity by
in_wintertime
This one get's bonus points for being Quantum mirror fic as well. For a moment Rodney is at the center of the universe and when they manage to turn it off again, he can't quite remember which of the infinite Rodney's he's supposed to be. He scribbles clues on his skin and tries not to tell lies. Pretty fucked up shit. But I suppose he's still better off then all the Rodney's that actually managed to CLAW OUT THEIR EYES! EEK!
Warnings: unusual cruelty to Rodneys. Mutilation. Suicide?
I see skies of blue by
in_wintertime
I am not entirely sure what's going on here. Shepard interacts so closely with Atlantis and she interacts right back. Only this is an alien AI, not a benevolent mother and the lengths she and John have gone to, to make this a perfect World are extreme indeed. So how does Rodney react to John's totalitarian regime? I imagine he reacted quite strongly before his mind got carved out like a pumpkin. Al that's left is a shell, play acting at being himself, with the lines John feeds him. WTF!
Warnings: character deaths. Violence. Rape?
The mind/body problem by Punk
The Stargate crashes and Elizabeth starts channeling Rodney (and on that note, why don't we ever see Rodney strolling around with his chest bared and a tool belt hanging cheekily on his hips?!?). But if Liz is channeling Rodney, then what exactly is left for Rodney to channel? Not a lot actually, but limp, impressionable Rodney does apreciate his vegetables, so this might still be considered a step up for him health wise...
warnings: slash, mckay/sheppard, though Shep doesn't figure it out until he falls for a Mckay with boobs. Bugs!
The qualities of silk by
aesc
Okay, make yourself a big pot of coffee, take the day off and keep a noteblock handy, because WHOOO! This one was written for the challenge and there people wrote us novel length fic. All of it is equally brilliant! (there are spoilers for S4 in some though). Earth is lost. Altantis is lost, but I guess that last one is only half right because before he left Rodney made a little download... IN HIS BRAIN! John, Ronon and the bionic man eventually leave the alfa site. Using Atlantis' memories to find a long lost war ship, before the nanites finish eating away his mind.
Warnings: complex, but worth it! character death.
Runaway mind by Eligent
Rodney thinks his leg is broken and won't be dissuaded of this, despite the fact that it doesn't hurt and he can walk on it just fine. It's hypochondria gone horribly, horribly wrong, with a little help from a pegasus native. Hilarious despite the potentially angsty overtones.
Warnings: none
The red door (or a post-modern Prometheus) by
saffronhouse
A mad scientist decides to play a game of Frankenstein with Rodney. Only Rodney's not a badly sown corpse and getting struck by lightning really fucks him up. He's a limping, ruined wreck, who occasionally breaks out into gibberish (after training with Teyla mind, so maybe it was just the slutty skirt). Anyone seen that Kevin Bacon movie? The one where he's hypnotized and told to be a little more open minded and he starts seeing things? This is kind of like that. There are no dead people here, but that doesn't mean that I wasn't freaked the fuck out by Rodney's new perceptiveness.
Warnings: Slash Mckay/Sheppard/Zelenka. Mutilation.
Damaged by
obsessed1o1
Rodney, Ronon and Teyla go batshit insane after getting trapped in an off world lab. Thinking their heart's desire is within arms reach and only one person is standing in their way. I guess that makes John the real woobie in this one. Despite the fact that he's a vicious loonatic, I found the feverish, deranged Rodney utterly adorkable.
Warnings: torture. Emotional abuse.
Tell me by astheblackrosewilts
Rodney saves Atlantis (well duh, it's what he does!). Unfortunately the latest funky gizmo really wasn't suitable for human use and not even the ancients had figured out how to fix a mind damaged BEYOND REPAIR!
Warnings: none.
Tripping mirrors by
cat_latin
This is a Sandman crossover, but it's a good read even if you've never touched the comics. In fact, if you aren't aware of it going in, it will still make sense in a strange mysterious way (except I just told you it's a Sandman crossover so...). Rodney got close to something really profound. It didn't break his mind, but it did run of with it. Cool.
Through the looking glass by
spacebabe
I think this goes here... there are signs of a mental breakdown, but there's also mention of medical bills so it could really go either way. At any rate
spacebabe has made it clear she's never going to write a companion to explain what the hell happened to Rodney. Poor woobie, trapped in his appartment with all the lights turned on. Not recognizing John or even his own sister half the time. Snif.
Warnings: alzheimer? torture? bullet through the head? Who knows. At any rate it's slash: Sheppard/Mckay.
Salt by mrsHamill
Remember that machine in Tao of Rodney. In this AU the fix came to late and Rodney's brain started dying. Lovely angsty fic. It actually made me cry (where usually I just laugh maniacally). Another fic featuring a Alzheimer like Mckay... only now with added diapers and regression. Atlantis takes care of him though (both the people and the city itself).
Warnings: slash: Mckay/Sheppard. I mentioned the diapers right?
The 'flying HIGH' list
A new section, for all the Rodney's that are perfectly sane.... unless they're high as a kite on amphetamines, antihistamines or other a-mines. Here's to the Rodney's that couldn't cope without a little chemical aid (and seriously, if there is alcoholic Mckay out there, I want it!)
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern by
in_wintertime
And I hereby declare wintertime Queen of angst! Rodney's running around with a snapped hospital restraint around his wrist... never a good sign. Ford knows he's totally going down. The Wraith couldn't kill him, but Sheppard is totally going to shoot him in the head for hooking Rodney on the Enzyme. Because it didn't end with shakes and raving in the infirmary in this universe. I wonder how many people Rodney went through to get off Atlantis. Rodney loses his mind, but he's more upset about losing his brilliance. So am I actually.
Warnings: drug abuse! Whee!
Detox Jane St. Clare
Another one where he bounces back eventually. Remember all those stimulants Rodney and Radek took during the Siege? And all the hours they spend not sleeping? This is what happened after they're cut off (and locked in a room). Radek and Rodney make the best tweakers ever!
warnings: none.
No more dreadful punishment by
laceymcbain
Rodney finds a way to keep going. For the longest time Carson didn't notice the missing pills, but he must have at some point, because this story is all about the detox. *pets poor raving Rodney*
Warnings: drug abuse.

pushkin666
Rodney needs a little pick me up to handle life in Pegasus. Carson eventually figures it out and like the good and kind doctor he is.... hey, wait a minute! Rodney is such a pathetic tweaker in this that he lets Carson turn him into his crack whore. Then Radek finds out, but this isn't exactly a good thing... EEK! We'll call this one the Betrayal!AU won't we. Shockingly it really DOES end on a good note!
Warnings: I couldn't finish this, because it exceeded even my angst tolerance, but I skipped to the end and they certainly get theirs! Drug abuse. Sexual abuse. Rape. Character death.
The killing frost by
silverspar
By Jove someone went and found me Alcoholic Rodney! Excuse me while I take a moment to marvel at the awesomeness that is Mckay wandering around Atlantis with a sloshing vodka bottle and no pants... Okay, I'm done. In this Cold war AU Rodney did an Oppenheimer and build the bombs, that blew up half the planet. Mother nature is pretty much fucked. People are getting cancer and are mutating all over the place... Yeah, I can kind of see why he'd need a lot of booze to be able to own up to that.
Warnings: alcoholism, mutilation, genocide. I'm pretty sure they blew up Russia, or maybe just the Check republic.
Triptych by
mad_maudlin
And look here another boozehound Mckay!
mad_maudlinis working on the concept that time travel is impossible. When SG1 went back in time in Moebius, they actually ended up in another reality.... Remember how they didn't actually get back? So what happened to their Atlantis? What happened to the Moebius' Earth for that matter? This might just be the most depressing thing you'll read this year. It's also viciously hilarious. Warnings: character death. Mutilation. Alcoholism.
Causal fault by
in_wintertime
Fair's fair. Rodney hasn't exactly been sniffing glue in this one, but he did get a good nosefull of alien weed. Coupled with the fact that some of his peoples just burned like roman candles, it makes for a pretty interesting PTSD trip.
