5 things! Deep Space Five!
For the previous post, click the 5things tag. I'm still taking requests at the original post here. (post is also tagged)
Five names Rodney McKay never called John Sheppard.
1. Stupid head. He'd had a long day and that annoying little wire kept moving out of place at the worst possible moment and Sheppard just slid right in and threaded the needly and bent the metal like it was cake and had argued with Rodney over the relative merits of the Doctor Who 10 vs Doctor Who 9 and had somehow gotten Rodney to come out on the side of Paul McGann.
2. General. John retired a full Colonel, somewhere in his late 60s, only slightly gray and a little slower thanks to a few run ins with species and technologies Rodney never wants to think about ever again. But even John Sheppard has to bow to a slowly going knee and a touch of arthritis in his fingers.
3. Joan. Yeah, they never speak about that week. Ever.
4. Master. They'd wanted him to, on that planet of a thousand waterfalls and the sky so blue it hurt to look at it felt so familiar and crisp. Rodney got himself slapped in the face, open palmed and hard for refusing, more than once. He didn't feel too bad about it since by that time it had become obvious that they weren't going to get anything else out of the natives other than another enemy, albeit a prettier than usual one. Later, John had traced the dark bruise, they'd managed to hit in the same spot every single time until it was a dark shake of purple, nearly black and throbbing with each movement of his head. John's fingers where careful and slow as they pressed something cool to his face, on his knees in front of Rodney's chair in his room on Atlantis, defiant look in his eyes, like he could somehow get the last word hundreds of thousands of miles away.
5. Savior. Because if he did, he'd never come back.
Five things Ivanova will never let get printed in a tell-all book about Babylon 5
1. Marcus. No mention of the word virgin will be in it at all, even if Ivanova has to kill the publisher herself. And pretend not to enjoy it. And possibly frame Bester.
2. Daffy Duck.
3. Michael, Jeff. That night she walked in on that she really wants to forget. She has special bottles of Vodka just for that.
4. That rumor about her and G'kar. How the hell did that get started anyway?
5. The super secret tailoring they did on the en'til'zha uniform to make her ass look smaller.
