Why This Must Be Read: This time it's the team cheerfully under the influence with some kind of Pegasus pot - all in the name of promoting off-world cultural relations, of course. I love this fic as it's so happy, the dialogue's hilarious, and the drugged-up loosening of lips leads to a very good outcome for John and Rodney.


“Hey, Rodney?”

Rodney frowns some more, still tapping at his computer. “What, Colonel?”

“Why are you working on your computer?”

“Because there’s a ...” Rodney huffs, jabbing his finger at the screen. “Because.” He flings the computer into the grass. “Because I don’t know what’s happening here and usually when I don’t know what’s happening I fix it with my computer except I’ve somehow forgotten how to, ya know ... turn it on.”

John grins and stretches an arm out, fingering the frayed edges of Rodney’s sock. “Still claim that toking pot once in college had no effect on you? Because you are high as a kite right now and this may not exactly be pot but it’s pretty much the same thing.”

“It didn’t,” Rodney says vehemently. “Only, ooooh, I would kill for some cheetos right now.”
