Why this must be read:

This was one of the first Rodney/Teyla fics I ever read and in just this short ficlet I was convinced of not only the genuine friendship between Rodney/Teyla but also a ship I had never considered before. This is an excellent and in-character ficlet exploring Rodney/Teyla.

Excerpt

“Jeannie, just stop. You’ve got it all wrong and I can’t tell you anymore than I have already, so just stop.”

Teyla could not hear the woman’s response. She went down a few more steps without thinking about it.

“ – other month, you tell me you can’t call or e-mail, I haven’t seen you in a year and a half, and then you call saying you can only stay a few days and do I mind if you bring a friend? Then you come waltzing in here with this beautiful woman and you can’t tell me what country she’s from, only that it’s close to where you’re stationed, and you can’t tell me that, either!”

“Jean. Do you understand the meaning of the word ‘classified’?”

“This is different. This is my geeky baby brother coming home with scars and a shiny new girlfriend he fights with as a form of foreplay. This isn’t –.”

“What the hell are you talking about? Teyla isn’t my girlfriend; please, I should be so lucky. We’re friends.”

There was a pause, and though Teyla couldn’t see her, she thought the other woman was smiling when she spoke again. “Friends, huh? Mighty close for friends.”
