Let's play a game! Fic up for grabs!

[cupidsbow]

Okay, I need to have some fun. I keep staring at my marking, staring at my endless, endless WiPs, staring at the emails I need to answer, and staring at the interesting comments I haven't replied to on all the meta I posted this week (I don't even know how many at this point -- the little comment number thingies on the posts combine to something

Comments

Dragon AU! Extra points if Ronon's dragon is unimaginably lame and makes him sad on a daily basis, just because I crave the novelty of Ronon having something that isn't awesome (except for, you know, his life), but no grudges held is you can't conceive of a universe where that would happen. I'm not 100% sure I can either.

Rodney had always wanted a smart human as his rider. Someone who would appreciate spending long hours pouring over dusty scrolls, trying to glean the secrets of the Ancients

THIS IS BRILLIANT. ♥

Okay, so I know that many people have already won the internet, and its market value can't be that high by this point. I know you win something for this, though, even if I can't quite figure out what. (Your own ZPM? Your own prone-to-panic-attacks-in-midair dragon? Your own Satedan warrior, wig included? Something.)

In other words: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. (Which is what I said after the first sentence, except that version was squeakier.) Excellent use of the prompt! Of course, now I'm imagining Teyla and her dragon John, who she's awfuly fond of but does make her sigh a lot (on the inside, at least), and the mostly-friendly competition they develop with Ronon and Rodney, in which Ronon feels very acutely the unfairness of the fact that Rodney won't agree to carry a nuclear bomb with a ticking timer over the enemy lines.

(Also, now that you've picked your prize, have an extra one for the rest of the ficlets. Instead of me wandering around the thread making high pitched sounds in all the comments.)

Yes, exactly! And they become a team and fight the Wraith together, and then John and Rodney fall into dragony love despite the fact that it isn't the done thing for blue and black dragons to get together.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I had a ball writing it. :)

I. Uh. Have no idea where this came from, really, and since it's now 12:30 AM, I take no responsibility for whether it actually works in any way. (For one thing, I always have a problem with stopping for paragraph breaks, and clearly this is only made worse after dark or something

[cupidsbow]

That is so fantastic! John with his rakish ears! And Teyla with her deep well of compassion. I love it.

I want to right the next part now, but I need to do marking. Maybe in a couple of days. Watch this space.

While you're at it, could you do mine too, please?

Also, thank you! And ooh, I hope you do write more in this. I just asked for a dragon AU because, well, dragon AU! But I'm just in love with this idea -- Ronon and Rodney and their dynamic, and Teyla and John, and Elizabeth the dragon queen, which shouldn't fit as well as it does. Well, really, none of it should fit as well as it does.

Beyond gorgeous, really.

[tieleen]

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you!

[almostnever]

Beautiful!

[tieleen]

Thank you! Sorry it took me so long to answer.

Such a wonderful insight into John.
