Why This Must Be Read: This is Vegas!John, set after canon, with Teyla central and playing a crucial role. SarahT often writes John/Teyla, leaning into Teyla being close to a Wraith queen, and in this fic she's darker and a bit more traumatised than in canon. Rodney also features, trying to persuade John to join the team, and in this AU, Lorne is the military commander of Atlantis. It's well written, with great characterisations of John and Teyla in particular.
“You should not be here,” she repeated.
“Couldn’t sleep,” he said, still a little dazed. “I have a pass.”
“You are John Sheppard?”
“That’s me,” he said, trying for a winning smile. This woman didn’t seem up for being won, but he was already feeling like it was something he wanted to do.
“It is not safe to be alone with a Wraith, especially this one. McKay should have told you this.”
“Must’ve forgot to mention it. But you still have the advantage of me, Miss…?”
“Teyla. Teyla Emmagen,” the Wraith said from behind him, making him jump again. “Fish out of water. How can you breathe? This desert will be the end of you.”
John’s eyes narrowed. “He knows you?”
Teyla’s eyes flicked past him, to the Wraith, and then back. “Come. It is better not to be down here at all.”
John looked back. The Wraith smiled knowingly and turned away, muttering. “A queen in rags and tatters is a queen still…”
Suddenly, he simply looked strange again, tall and thin and long-haired, like some lost crazy hippie. Who ate people. John shook his head and hastened to follow Teyla.
