Why this must be read:

In the case of Dr. McKay, the more information she gathered, the more complicated, and interesting, the picture became. The man was a fascinating bundle of contradictions.

This is a deeply introspective piece where Teyla considers her feelings for Rodney whilst watching him work in the gateroom. It gives you a great insight to Rodney's real character, the one beneath all the bluster, as well as showing you how it would be possible for Teyla to be attracted to him

Plus there are great cameos from Chuck and Zelenka, and a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference to Radek/Elizabeth :)

Her teammates had been rather surprised to learn of her involvement with Rodney. She supposed they did not understand the attraction or perhaps they’d assumed she would be find Sheppard or Ronon or even Lorne more to her tastes.

True, there were many handsome men here in Atlantis, but none of them really captured her eye.

Dr. McKay on the other hand…Rodney had always held a strange fascination. He was just so contradictory.

And there was the fact she had known Rodney had at least a passing interest almost from the start.

His eyes wandered from her face a little too often, he held her gaze a little too long. Sometimes she would turn and catch him looking her way. But the surest sign was that his words had not come as easily with her as when the others were present.

It was…flattering, but she hadn’t been quite sure what to make of it.
