Author’s summary: When John rubs a magic lamp-- "Magic?" squawked the genie, flapping its incorporeal arms. "How many times do I have to tell you that magic doesn't exist? Oh, you made a wish, did you? You can't just wish for something that's expressly against the laws of physics and have it come true just like that! It can't happen. Oh," it said, with an exaggerated incorporeal sigh. "We're in a story. That, apparently, makes everything okay. So go on, tell your stupid story. I bet no-one reads it. Magic and wishes? Pah!"
Why This Must Be Read: This is the best fairytale crossover-ish fic you never knew you needed, with everyone perfectly in character and Rodney as the ultimate non-genie genie of all time. It'll have you laughing all the way through to the unexpected, delightful ending and never fails to brighten your day. It's plain and simple crack-tastic—worth every read and reread!
"Cool," said Ronon, wandering up, taking the lamp from John's pain-clenched fingers. "A magic lamp with a genie in it."
John cleared his throat. "I… I didn't realise you… were in… this story."
"Yeah." Ronon shrugged, clearly afflicted with the same unimaginative storyteller. "Was supposed to come in on page four, but you two kept on talking. We're way over the word limit already, you know, and only had one wish out of the nine."
"Nine?" John managed to sit up.
"Teyla's in it, too," Ronon said. "Page six, supposedly. We're on page seven already."
The genie opened its mouth to say something. Ronon glared at it. "My wish," he said. "Pages to catch up. I want revenge on my enemies and for the dead not to be dead any more."
"Uh…" John tugged at Ronon's sleeve. "I think your wish would have more emotional impact if we introduced you more slowly and told people about your angst-ridden background of loss and bloody vengeance."
"No time," Ronon said, "and that genie talks too much. Wish." He drew a knife from his belt. "What I said. Now."
"Uh, I don't think that's wise…" John started.
