Why This Must Be Read: On screen we didn't get to see nearly enough off-work friendship moments between the female characters, and thus I am glad that there are authors out there who take the time to investigate in writing such moments between the characters that I love - that we love. Sailing is such a moment between Kate and Teyla, whom, when we see them on screen, are always in a professional situation. In this story it's just two people finding common ground and allowing for a more informal sort of interaction.


Kate sighed and focussed on relaxing her shoulders as she walked through the corridors towards the east pier. It wasn't that it had been a particularly tough day in the Atlantis scheme of things; more that all days were tough. She opened the door onto the pier and stepped out, pausing as she saw another figure leaning on the rail at the end of the pier. For a moment she considered stepping back and finding somewhere else to look at the sea, but whoever it was had already turned round and seen her.

"Kate, greetings." Teyla spoke in her usual calm tones.
