I got a John/Teyla fic for the [livejournal.com profile] sga_santa challenge! And it's well-written and team-y and detailed but it's also delicately John/Teyla and this makes me happy.

HAPPY.

The Truth About Alliances

Teamfic, with John/Teyla. It's politics and not action-based, and it's awesome. (I might have gotten a little effusive in the comments.) There's politics and alliances and explanations for how Atlantis has behaved, and why things are so difficult for them in Pegasus. It's all layered in the wonderfully complex nature of interaction and alliance and people and culture and gives reasons and rationalities for a lot of things that have always jarred me about the nature of the Atlantis expedition in Pegasus.

And, best of all, the John/Teyla is subtle and in the background, delicate and nuanced but still very much there amidst the team dynamics.

I was prepared to go to bed depressed. Now I don't have to!

I want to give you something and this is so embarrassing but I have no idea how to send it to you. Can you please give me a small tutorial. I don't know how good it will be but I wanted to give you something to show my appreciation for what you do.

As I read that wonderfully subtle and intelligent story, I thought how perfect it was for the recipient. It was just fabulous and truly a gift to all of us. Thanks for inspiring it!
