Why This Must Be Read: This is a delightfully fluffy bit of crossover fun. Vala's on Atlantis and determined to make a place for herself. Once she decides she wants on the flagship team, only to be denied by Sheppard, she focuses in on Teyla as the real decision-maker for the group and sets out to make a friend. There are many laugh-out-loud lines here as the immovable object meets the unstoppable force; Teyla is not one to be swayed by Vala's charm or usual tricks. However, Teyla (and the reader) are goners once Vala decides to start an Atlantis basketball tournament and signs herself and Teyla up as a team. Don't miss this.
A snippet of fic....
Pegasus was a galaxy neither the Goa'uld nor the Ori had any part in.
It was a concept that Vala found endlessly fascinating. That, and the fact that no matter where in the universe humans wound up, there always seemed to be someone scarier and more powerful looking to make trouble.
As if humans didn't make enough trouble for themselves, all on their own.
Still, Vala found life in Atlantis to be rather to her liking. Especially once the Ancient gene settled in to stay.
"I think the important thing to remember," she said, after the fumes had cleared, "Is that I didn't mean to set anything on fire."
"I think you need to find something to do," Elizabeth suggested. Only it was the sort of suggestion that wasn't really a suggestion at all. "Something productive."
"Right," she replied, backing out the door. The first rule of fire-starting: leave the scene of the crime as quickly as possible. "Yes. I'll get right on that."
The very next day, in fact, she talked one of the soldier boys into showing her how to fly a puddle jumper. It didn't take very long - much easier than piloting a Tel'tak. But then she discovered that, regardless of how well she could do it, no one was actually going to let her fly anywhere.
Of course, after the slight fire incident, no one would let her join one of the groups systematically exploring the furthest reaches of the city, either. So at that point, she decided to see if the Ancient research division needed any help - she'd had a fair bit of experience with Ancient things, after all. But there was too much reading and not nearly enough searching for hidden treasure troves for her to really be of any use.
This, incidentally, was something everyone involved could agree upon, and after being unceremoniously evicted from the research lab, she wandered despondently for a while, eventually making her way to the dining hall.
She was bored, and she missed her team. She was a little hungry, too. But mostly, she missed her team.
And there, of course, was her answer.
"No," Sheppard said. He offered her a smile. "Sorry."
She twirled the end of her pigtail around a finger and looked at the other two. "Is that unanimous?"
"I don't mind," Ronon said with a shrug, and gave her the kind of grin that was always so attractive on a man who was, well, extremely attractive to start with.
"Oh, I like him," she said to no one in particular.
At that, the third man at the table sat forward over his tray. "And just what, exactly, would you bring to the team? Any special skills, areas of expertise?"
"You mean, besides my considerable charm and good looks?"
The problem was, none of them seemed to take her suggestion very seriously. Nor did they apparently think 'thievery' was a valid area of expertise.
One out of three wasn't bad, though - she made sure to wink at the large one as she left - and besides, it was a four-person team.
For now.
