two more fics for the Fic Battle

Requested by bramble_rose:
John & Teyla: horseback riding - Why He Prefers 'Jumpers Of The Mechanical Kind

Requested by saeva:
Teyla & Lorne: pose for me - Snapshot - spoilery references to The Last Man.

I'm seeing if I can't finish persephone in the underworld and alien landscapes and danger today, but no guarantees.

fic: Persephone Longs For Home - PG-13 [John, Teyla]

TITLE: Persephone Longs For Home
SUMMARY: Teyla learns about pomegranates and living between two worlds.
CATEGORY: gen, vignette
RATING: PG-13
NOTES: For the sg_rarepairings challenge - prompt: John/Teyla - 'Persephone in the underworld'. Also requested by saeva, although I suspect she was hoping for a different spin on it.

Persephone Longs For Home

In one of the first transits through the midway station, Earth sent a 'jumper stuffed to the brim with crates of fresh produce.

One week later, Teyla knew all about potatoes and strawberries, brussel sprouts and onions, passionfruit, asparagus, tomatoes, and apples. The expedition wallowed in an excess of Earth food, and with the food came the memories.

( Beets, asparagus, strawberries and pumpkin pie... )

fic: Creatures From The Pink Lagoon, PG-13 [John, Teyla]

TITLE: Creatures From The Pink Lagoon
SUMMARY: Barbie doesn't come in any more strident a pink than this.
CATEGORY: John!whump, vignette
RATING: PG-13
NOTES: Written for the sg_rarepairings challenge to the prompt: "Teyla & John: alien landscapes and danger" - requested by mahoni and timespirt. I think it's got a bit more UST than 'pure gen' but it's more about the gen than the UST.

Creatures From The Pink Lagoon

By the time Teyla appears at the top of the hill, John is thigh-deep in pink mud.

He's calling it 'mud' because it's wet and clingy and cool, even if it's the kind of pink that would have gotten him kicked out of the 'Vanderburg Base Secret Sons Club'. Punctuation notwithstanding, it would have been worth John's life to be seen in this kind of pink thirty years ago.

Luckily for him, it's thirty years later, and it's just mud.

Pink mud.

Barbie doesn't come in any more strident a pink than this.

( Pink, itchy mud. This can't end well. )
