Why This Must Be Read: In which Rodney doesn't so much propose to John as he hijacks the wedding planning while John is still trying to figure out if he wants to say yes (he does).


"I'm just saying--military don't ask don't tell--doesn't that sort of preclude this?"

Caldwell *pats him on the shoulder*. On. The. Shoulder. "Atlantis is an international effort. The laws set up to govern it and the military assigned are more flexible than those governing the United States. Eli---Dr. Weir and I agreed that the city and the people living here shouldn't be restricted by outdated laws and practices."

That sounds creepily like a speech that Elizabeth once made. John stares at Caldwell suspiciously. "She cut you off, didn't she?"

Caldwell pours them both a whiskey and downs his in one gulp, looking depressed. "Yes."

Thank you :) Because there's so much good fic out there I found it easier to stick with a theme like Weddings & Marriage to help narrow the choices down. I'm gonna have to remember that for next time.
