Why this must be read: I love this story. First because it's great to see a fic that explores how the events of The Seed may have affected Jennifer... but also because the story does that in an entirely unexpected way. I like being surpised by a story. It's charming and funny, the voices are spot on, and on top of that it's pretty hot. (5600 words)


Snippet:

"Did you see me? When I was a giant tentacle monster?" Jennifer asks, while they're having lunch.

"What? No," Rodney says, too hastily. "Well, I saw you at the beginning, when you were a small tentacle monster. But after that Woolsey kept me locked in my room, so." He shrugs nervously. "Why would you ask?"

Outside the door to the cafeteria, five xenobiologists walk by carrying large chunks of muscle that used to be under Jennifer's conscious control. They're still hauling the stuff out of her quarters, ripping the vines out all the walls and power conduits. It might take months to get it entirely cleaned up, Woolsey said. Jennifer wonders what they're doing with it all – throwing it in the sea? Dumping it in space? Grinding it up for fertilizer on the mainland?

"No reason," she says. "I guess I just wondered if you were grossed out."

Rodney shakes his head. "Oh, no. I hang out with Ronon and John all the time, so. My grossout meter is pretty high."

"Also, you were there when Parrish turned into an aquatic mammal, right?"

"Mmm-hmm, with the third arm and all," Rodney agrees, taking another bite of his sandwich, then talking with his mouth full. "Seriously, Sheppard turned into a bug like our second year here, so really there's nothing new under the sun."

After they finish lunch and go their separate ways, Jennifer feels strangely disappointed, like she was hoping that Rodney would be grossed out. Maybe she needs some sort of extreme body transformation support group.
