fic: "Feint" - G [John, Teyla]

[tielan]

TITLE: Feint
SUMMARY: Teyla faints.
CATEGORY: vignette, challenge
RATING: G
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, etc, etc, etc.
NOTES: Written for the John and Teyla Yahoogroups "5 minute fic challenge" to the prompt of "Teyla fainted and John leapt for her." Someday, I want to see a fic where John faints.

Feint

Teyla fainted and John leaped for her, dragging himself out of the rough hands of the guards and catching her as she fell.

A moment later, he realised that her eyes were open. Then he felt the weapon's grip in his hand, and knew what she intended him to do.

She'd judged them well. Their attention had been on disarming him, Ronon, and Rodney - it hadn't occurred to them that she might be carrying more weapons than merely the P-90. Or perhaps there were social codes that prohibited male guards from searching female prisoners. Whichever it was, they hadn't searched her for hidden weapons, and they didn't try to stop him from going to her.

Stupid of them.

A moment and four shots later, the guards were down, and Ronon was stripping them of their weapons.

Teyla held up her hand for a boost, and John switched the stunner to his left hand and hauled her up. "That," he said, holding onto her hand for a moment longer, "was clever."

The smile quirked the corner of her mouth as she tilted her head at him, the sunlight glinting honey off her hair. "I know."

Clever Teyla!

[tielan]

So easily underestimated.

Thanks for turning what seems kind of a cheesy prompt into something awesomely Teyla. :)

[tielan]

It is awfully cheesy, isn't it?

Actually, I was going to write Teyla fainting, and then the idea came out of nowhere. *g*

I think this is more like Teyla. :D

oh yay! I love this!! *hearts fic*

[tielan]

*g*

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that is clever. :)

[tielan]

Sheppard approves! WHEEEE! :D

[teatarishidaiko.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed this, Teyla the trickster!! :D

[tielan]

Broader fandom has a very bad habit of underestimating Teyla's tricksiness.

Now I have this image of Teyla as Coyote.

Clever! Though I like that it keeps the original--chivalric?--of John leaping for her. She knew he'd bite. :)

I want to see a fic where John faints.

Haha, I just realized I wrote a story like that once, though caused by Ancient device.

[tielan]

Shades of Spoils Of War. :)

Ooh. Linky?

I think John should faint sometime on the show. I think almost everyone else has...

[grey853.livejournal.com]

I *love* it. I love seeing Teyla being the smart one, the one who really saves the day. We should see more of that on the show.

[tielan]

I figure Teyla to be the kind of person who uses what she has to best effect. :)

[azure-horizon.livejournal.com]

Ha! Very nice :)

[tielan]

Thankee!

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Teyla's so tricky. Cute little ficlet. Glad you could turn that prompt around in a good way.

[tielan]

Yeah, it came to me just as I wrote the opening line. Faint vs feint. :)

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Good one, Teyla!

Yeah, it's cool seeing Teyla use her 'girlyness' as an advantage. :) And I'll look out for that "John fainting" story.

[tielan]

'Feminine' is often seen as a disadvantage, so it was nice to turn it around for a change.

[rhianona]

*g* Teyla is so awesome.

[tielan]

Oh, yes! Yes, she is!

[seekergeek.livejournal.com]

Clever Teyla!

(for a story where John faints see: http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=6 - it's a John/Rodney slash story)

[tielan]

Thanks for the link! I'm just not into John/Rodney slash, I'm afraid.

[crazy4orcas.livejournal.com]

Great vignette! I love it when Teyla is written as clever and as kickass as she actually is. Nice play on words with the title too!

[tielan]

I love it when a good story comes together. ;)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I love me some devious and evil Teyla, playing everyone around her and using her own weakness as a strength (if one can call it weakness). *gleeful*

[tielan]

More fic of this kind is definitely needed!

[mirageofmae.livejournal.com]

This is great! I wish we had more of this kind of Teyla in fic! It's there on the show (when they bother to use Teyla!)

[tielan]

Best way to get it? Write it!

(Yes, that was a hint. *g*)

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

It's terrible how Teyla can never be anything less than awesome, isn't it?

[tielan]

Quite dreadful. Really. :)

[mahoni.livejournal.com]

HAH! Awesome! I love it, and I totally can see that happening. Teyla's plans = best plans ever.

[tielan]

To be honest, I was desperately trying to think of something that didn't really involve Teyla fainting like some kind of weepy woman.

Desperate prompts call for desperate measures! :)
