Why This Must Be Read:This month I'm reccing stories where the POV adds something extra This story is told from multiple POVs, that of team AR1. The structure is that the POVs cycle around between the four teammates, and we go through three cycles. It's obviously teamfic and is Action/Adventure pn a mission. A rollicking good yarn, and seeing the events unfold through the four different POVs is interesting. Also, necessary, since the team get split up and multiple POVs are one way of handling that.
It's her first mission since the end of maternity leave, and Teyla feels anxious, strapping and unstrapping her thigh holster. She's only half-listening while John checks in with Atlantis – "not a gun in sight, and pretty decent food," – but when Mr Woolsey admonishes them to keep alert, she smiles in response to John's exaggerated eye roll.
"He is not wrong to say so," Teyla says as they walk down the ramp of the jumper. She pauses while John fiddles with the control to cloak it, and then they head back to the town hall where Ronon's recounting gruesome Wraith kills to a wide-eyed audience, and Rodney's fishing for information from Fremil about Ancient tech that might be laying around. It's happened over the years. Teyla remembers the medical scanner doubling as a barn's half-door and the bundle of non-functioning parasitic wiring masquerading as a hat stand.
"Hm," John says, flipping down the dark part of his sunglasses. He shoots her a grin. "Nope, no trouble today. Sky's blue," he gestures to it with the nose of his P90, "well, kinda blue. Bluish. Maybe more like green. Anyway, sky's green, the sun's shining, we had a good meal, and no one's tried to –"
"Don't say it," Teyla interrupts, suddenly feeling superstitious. "Just... don't."
