WHY READ?:

This gen piece of PegB does several things I love: it explores the different dynamics between the characters, it introduces a new, very alien race, and it explores the character of Halling, one of the other Athosians from Atlantis. It's a sweet, gentle story, and one that, like the best of AUs, couldn't take place in the normal Atlantis universe.

REC CATEGORY: Het

They have no titles becaues they're just drabbles

AUTHOR: wisdomeagle
PAIRING: one Sheppard/Teyla, one McKay/Weir, one Teyla/Bates
RATING: R
CATEGORY: Drabble, het
LINK: Sheppard/Teyla, McKay/Weir, Teyla/Bates
WHY: I recommend these drabbles because they're excellent takes on the relationship between each of the characters. Sheppard/Teyla have a half-joking-even-when-they're-serious manner. McKay/Weir and the fact that they wouldn't actually say anything, it would be enacted in unspoken metaphor and very oblique, not face-on. And Teyla/Bates has the hatred/love/violence theme that has been shown as running through their interactions since day 1.

If I could find longer stories that ran these dynamics in their execution, I would sold on the author beyond belief.

Simply put, they rock. Go read. Now.
