Author's Summary: John is bored. Oh dear.
Why this Must Be Read: I just love tiny John and his failed attempts at typing. The whole fic is just so darn cute and fun. It's a good laugh for when you need one.outsideth3box is an excellent author with a wide range and this well-written humor fic is well worth the read.
Success! The screen is angled just ever so slightly forward, but that is no problem. John moves around to the side and pushes the power button and waits for the computer to boot up. Once it has, he uses his whole hand on the touchpad to navigate to the sign in screen and leans precariously over the keyboard and pounds keys to enter what he knows is Rodney’s most recent password. Then it’s a matter of navigating to the Atlantis intranet and signing into his own messaging program, red-flagging the message as he laboriously balances over the keyboard, punching keys to type.

Okay, the typos are insane, but using the keyboard basically requires a one-arm plank position and a lot of stretching and balancing on his toes. Moving to the backspace key to make corrections every time he loses his balance will take hours, so he sends the message as is and hopes the good doctors will decipher it. He sits back on his heels and rubs his sore arms.
