 So here's my last Rodney/Teyla fic :( But it's been great to show people some fics they haven't seen before & hopefully to introduce others to this more unusual, but very cute, pairing :)

Why this must be read:

Teyla nodded and squeezed Rodney's hand, very softly. "I believe I liked planets that end with a nine better when I was merely forced to marry you," she said, and closed her eyes again.

As Teyla points out in this fic, if she has to marry Rodney 4 times, then she deserves more than one kiss! As they look for allies throughout Pegasus various cultures require they be married but this gives Rodney and Teyla an opportunity to become closer, along with the life and death situations. This fic has a great Teyla voice, with her being quietly bemused with the whole situation. But it's also a great team fic with apple_pigetting the banter and friendship between the four right, especially between the guys

Also Ronon, who gets quite depressed about the length of his dreadlocks and is on a mission to grow them!

On Atlantis one day, Rodney kissed Teyla. It wasn't a special occasion, but he had taken to walking back to the personnel quarters with her after dinner, Teyla pacing lightly along, Rodney talking and gesturing as they walked, telling her about lab issues or proposed missions or Sheppard's latest method of cheating at chess or Ronon's newfound ambition to grow his dreadlocks to his waist. Teyla was a good listener, and she sometimes gave Rodney good advice about the people in his lab, or the people on planets they were considering visiting, or those they had visited before.

And it was just - she looked so pretty, and alert, and she'd just said something nice about Simpson - which, really, was so typically Teyla, finding something nice to say about that spawn of Satan who'd stolen all Rodney's whiteboard markers again - and Rodney didn't know he was going to do it until he did it. He just leaned down and kissed her, one hand on her face.

Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed the recs - none of them were stories I would normally have read, but I clicked on every link and wasn't disappointed.

Thanks!

That's great! I'm glad I could introduce you to some stuff you wouldn't normally read :)
