Why this must be read:

Note: got this under SG1 for setting but SGA could fit, too, as they're all commenting on an SGA mission report.

SG1 sitting around providing commentary on SGA mission reports. We all know that this is a recipe for tummy-hurting giggles, and you'd be right! While waiting for Landry to arrive for a briefing, SG1 entertains themselves by reading the databurst from Atlantis that goes over the episode "The Tower". Loved Cameron's used-to-the-wackiness-of-SG1 headdress. Cackled like a crazy woman at Cam's ongoing unofficial competition of the "mate with me to safe the species" variety with Sheppard. There are also some FANTASTIC one-liners in this fic. Both Cam's "bodiceripper" line and Landry's comment about Cam's headgear were wonderful chuckle-inducers. This fic'll make you laugh like crazy, I guarantee!

Story Summary: Cameron Mitchell is sure that his own 'mate with me to secure the survival of our species' request is just a mission or three away (summary taken from posting on WraithBait).

"Killing off the king, framing the son, and marrying off the daughter?" Jackson asked. "The good guys overthrowing the evil usurper? That's more Shakespeare than history."

"That's more bodice ripper than Shakespeare," Cam retorted because he'd opened it up just at the good part. Sheppard's AARs were usually the ones to read first because Sheppard had been writing them for twenty years and understood the importance of brevity and how to achieve it. Plus he had a helluva sense of understatement. McKay's were long and full of words that would win you Scrabble championships, but there was always enough melodrama in them to make it worth having to reach for the dictionary.
