Why This Must Be Read: Roses Red takes place in the aftermath of a mission gone slightly wrong. The details of what happened are left largely to the reader's imagination, with a few well-crafted references that manage to paint a vivid picture. The characters' voices are perfect, and the relationships between the members of the team are highly enjoyable.
Again, this is a fic where the pairing is more implied than explicit, but the hints of John/Teyla at the end are no less enjoyable for the light touch, and serve as a wonderful complement to the team-friendliness and exuberance of the rest of the fic. It's also a must-read for those who enjoy Rodney and Teyla friendship pieces, as the first half of the fic is devoted to them.
"We were a little worried," she said, her tone slightly reproachful.
"Yeah." A spark of amusement flared in John's eyes and some of that bled through to his voice. "I gathered that from the way that Rodney pretty much threw himself at Ronon."
"I did not!"
John lowered his voice deliberately, leaning forward towards her to invite her in on the joke, although he made sure that his voice was loud enough to carry to Rodney. "There was hugging."
"It was completely manly hugging!" The rise in Rodney's voice this time was due to outrage rather than panic and, in spite of the pain she was in, it made her smile. "And we might have been a little ... concerned, but hardly worried. I mean, not really." Rodney puffed himself up a little, raising his chin and glaring stubbornly in John's direction.
