Why This Must Be Read: This is a Christmas/Generic Winter Holiday story, where John manages to break his arm playing ice hockey and is generally out of sorts about it, and Ronon finds ways to comfort him. I really like Ronon's POV about Earth sports and traditions, and about John. Hurt/comfort with a happy ending.

It's actually kind of entertaining to watch, especially when John gets out there to play with them, even though John kind of sucks at it. He apparently learned how to skate when he was a kid, but Ronon's talked to some of the other guys who play, and he doesn't think John spent every cold morning when he was a kid out trying to kill other kids with a hockey stick.

John throws himself into it, though, sliding wildly across the ice, grinning fearlessly. That's probably worth watching the game just to see. It's been a while since Ronon's seen him having that much fun, playing like a kid. It makes him grin himself and yell "go get them, Sheppard!", not that John seems to need much encouragement.

"Oh, God, he's going to be killed," Rodney says, coming out onto the deck where Ronon is standing watching. He's cradling a cup of coffee, steam rising in the chill morning air. "Who told him it was a good idea to play hockey with the Marines?"

"I am sure John knows what he is doing," Teyla says, coming out behind Rodney. She has Torren balanced on one hip, and he stares at the game wide-eyed. Ronon wonders if they make sticks his size.

"We should probably have medical personnel standing by for when he gets a concussion," Rodney says. "Or when somebody does. There are a lot of concussions in hockey."

"Cool," Ronon says.

"I am sure it is a reasonably safe game," Teyla says, perching Torren on the deck rail and holding him so that he can see. She sounds like she's not entirely sure, though.

"Really not," Rodney says.
