Why this must be read:

This is a beautiful story. Very vivid, with beautiful imagery. This fic also has a very interesting look into Athosian culture that really works with what we've seen so far. Plus, its very sexy. It's a must read.

Excerpt:

Under her feet are needles and old leaves, comforting—this world is not so unlike their home, after all, for all that Teyla spends her time in the magical city of the ancestors, where bare feet encounter only hard floors and slick surfaces. Here she can feel the earth under her soles, as she can feel the firelight glowing off her bare skin—and around her, the eyes fix on her, the children in awe, and the adults in hunger. She is the leader of their people, touched by the ancestors to sense the enemy and guard against it, chosen by the elders to travel to other worlds and speak to foreigners—she is their chosen warrior, and her body and her dancing shows it to be so. The most fit of them all. The most desirable.

She has seen Major Sheppard look at her in these clothes, which she wears to fight with the sticks, at the exposed thigh and stomach, breasts high and firm and held tightly by the top. When she first stepped into the practice room so clothed, his eyes went wide. Desirable, even to someone who has never known the Wraith, never known the driving need to choose the fittest, the fastest, the strongest, so that their children may survive the next culling.
