Why This Must Be Read:
Things on Atlantis have lost some of their thrill after five years. For instance, it's Tuesday, and everyone knows that Tuesdays are the day the Genii always attack. However, some things (like relationships) just get better with age.
This is a fabulous fic that I just stumbled across - it's funny, well-written, and all the characters are spot on. John's internal monologue as he debates whether he's still cool (and whether assuring yourself that you are automatically makes you uncool) is terrific. And I particularly love John and Teyla's interaction as they stand guard in the commissary (to stalwartly keep the Genii from getting the ice cream or the beer).

The claxon sounded throughout the hallways. Young, eager military personelle rushed to strategic points in the Atlantis facilities while scientists tried to coax a little more info out of their tests before evacuating to safe rooms.
John Sheppard watched all this while he relaxed on a couch near the commissary. He remembered being that young. Hell, he wasn't exactly an old codger yet. He was just a little less interested in getting all "the sky is falling" every time the alarm sounded. It was Tuesday. Tuesday was the day the Genii attacked. Frankly, it was getting boring.
Rodney McKay dashed in the commissary without even a nod at his teammate. Seconds later he was dashing back out with a bowl full of Jell-o. "McKay?" John drawled.
"Hmm?" Rodney looked up, almost spilling the wobbly mess.
"Is there a reason you are stealing all the Jell-o?"
"This isn't all of it," Rodney defended. "Plus, I missed lunch." You could see the wheels turning in Rodney's mind. "Hey, shouldn't you be defending us lowly mortals?"
"It's Tuesday."
"Very astute of you colonel."
"It's Tuesday. The Genii always attack on Tuesday. I'm pretty sure even you can beat them back."
