TITLE: Momma Always Said There'd Be Days Like These
SUMMARY: There were no sneering comments about feminine weakness or snide remarks about the failings of women in the field, and Teyla was extremely glad of it.
RATING: PG-13
CATEGORY: AU, action/adventure, drama, friendship, team
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, etc.
NOTES: For [livejournal.com profile] sga_saturday's Amnesty Week, to their week 12 prompt 'cycle'. At first I was surprised that nobody even mentioned or hinted at this as a possible use for the word 'cycle'. And then I realised that, given fandom's proclivities, not really that surprising at all. This is a sequel of sots to my fic 'Every Day Is Another Tomorrow' but you don't have to read that one first to get this. It may be a little brain-breaky at first, though, so handle with caution!

When Teyla comes in to breakfast, the doors to the balcony are propped open, and a nauseating stench of rancid meat and burned porridge fills the room.

Hi!

I hope it's okay that I as a stranger delurk and comment.
I really enjoyed this universe and (both) the stories. My head got twisted (not in a bad way!), mapping the characters to their "functions" (= Teyla the soldier, John the scientist and so on), but it was believable and felt real.

I also liked that this wasn't a big adventure full of explosions and drama but something more quiet and - in case of the second story - everyday: I think getting (hope this is the right word!) one's period is a reality for female soldiers. I don't want to make a big thing about it, but I like stories that deal with the reality of the characters, not just the adventures and romances (although they are good, too!).

Ok, sorry for going on so long.
Thanks for writing this!

Greetings, Py.
