Why This Must Be Read:

As the author says, John + Planes + Pilots = Hot.  But besides that, it’s a little glimpse into what an established John/Teyla relationship might be like. It's also one of the most original (and in retrospect, obvious) answers to the age old question of how John might spend his leave time on Earth. 

It’s sweet, funny, and who doesn’t love a hot pilot?

 

Carefully holding a bottle of a fizzy mystery liquid, Teyla studied the enormous winged machine in front of her curiously.  With an enthusiasm that only seemed to be building, John had all but jogged from view as he’d gone to inspect some part or another at the back.  They’d developed a bit of a routine; he’d get excited, dash off to see whatever it was that he wanted to whilst she studied the thing in its entirety, then he’d find her again and tell her all about it.

Taking an experimental sip of the black liquid, she decided she liked it and took another.  John’s boots came into view, quickly followed by the rest of him.

“Isn’t it great?  A Lockheed Constellation.  Connie.  Dolphin-like.  Look at the triple tail!”

Teyla smiled at him.

“What?”  He slipped an arm around her waist.

“You mocked Rodney the other day for being excited about the molecular construction of a star, yet here you are, as excited as a child.”

He scoffed.  “That’s different.”

She raised an eyebrow.  “How so?”

“Well, it just is.  It’s a jocks and geeks thing.”

 Well acquainted with the futile nature of John and Rodney’s incessant arguments about jocks and geeks, even if she didn’t quite understand the semantics of it all, Teyla smiled and nodded.

 He looked down at her.  “You’re humouring me, aren’t you?” 

“I would never do that, John.”
