Why This Must Be Read: This is a quiet, simple little piece about memory and love. It has a beautiful tone that feels both melancholy and hopeful all once. While it is romantic and pairs John and Teyla, it is also about Teyla herself and who she is and who she has been.

Teyla laughed. “You have little patience for such things.” She shifted slightly, and a strip of material fell from the top of her thigh to between her legs, leaving her coffee brown skin open to the sun.

John slipped down a few steps, drawing his knees up. “Maybe not so boring,” he said, surreptitiously looking to his right.

She smiled. “In some things, you are a mystery John Sheppard. In others, you are quite predictable.”
