Why This Must Be Read: Another recently posted story that just had to be recced, from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sga_flashfic's "F**king Freezing Challenge". The team falls into a crevasse on a glacier, and much bickering and general cuteness ensues. This story runs the gamut from laugh-out-loud hilarious to completely adorable and back again. Although Teyla is "grounded" due to current events in canon, and only has a small scene in the story, it's a great one and her presence is felt throughout; you get a very strong sense of "team", whether they're together or apart. Plus, there's an adorable illustration.
A snippet of fic
This, John thought, was why Teyla was so integral to the team. Apart from the way his stomach knotted at the thought of losing their perfectly established balance, the utter symmetry of four; to say nothing of the skill with which Teyla wielded her sticks or a P-90, or her vast knowledge of Pegasus and vital familiarity with its peoples. Here was the most straightforward proof: if Teyla had been here with them, then they wouldn't be here now.
Mainly because Teyla would have thought to ask one of the nice Eskimo impersonators why walking to the Ancestor's temple after dark was a bad idea.
To be fair, McKay had asked; but the villagers had already stopped listening or speaking to him after the third thing out of his mouth. On the scale from Earth-abnormal to Pegasus-whacko, the silent treatment was relievingly low-key, but trouble was trouble, in the end. Though in Rodney's defense, that sacred mask did bear an uncanny resemblance to Mario, especially with the mustache; and without Teyla how were they to know that 'Nintendo' sounded unfortunately like 'Nintindote,' apparently the local colloquialism for sled-dog shit.
"So you're all uninjured?" Colonel Carter verified. Atlantis had dialed in when they were a half-hour late returning.
"McKay twisted his ankle, otherwise we're fine," John said into the radio. "We got lucky—"
"Obviously this is some strange, new definition of 'lucky'," Rodney muttered from his corner of the crevasse, huddled against the sheer ice wall.
"—the snow broke our fall," John finished. "But the crevasse is a good twelve feet deep, no way to climb out without equipment." Not like that was stopping Ronon from trying, but by John's count it was Glacier 4, Satedan 0. At least he'd persuaded the big guy to lay off the gun before he'd buried them in their own private avalanche.
