Fic: So Blows the Wind (SGA McKay/Sheppard)
Title: So Blows the Wind (Original SGA Santa link.)
Author: tigerlady (shetiger)
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairings: Sheppard/McKay
Rating: Teen
Summary: "My name is Dr. Elizabeth Weir," the woman said, holding her hands before her and slightly to the sides, an offering of welcome and peace. Weir did not radiate the fear that some of the others did, and her eyes were lively, dilated by the arousal of her intellectual curiosity. "We will not harm you unless you attempt to harm us. If your intentions are peaceful, then you are welcome here."
"I intend no harm to you," she said, copying Weir's hand position. "I am pleased to meet you, Dr. Weir. My name is Teyla Emmagan."
Weir smiled. "And I am very pleased to meet you, Teyla. May I ask, are you an Ancient?"
A what-if AU in which Teyla Ascends before the expedition ever dials Atlantis, and so John never wakes the Wraith. Instead, he and Rodney stumble upon a little Ancient device that changes their lives dramatically. Five years on, things aren't going all that smoothly--until a certain being decides to put her hand into things. 31,000 words.
Notes: This was my sga_santa fic for almostnever. Thank you to unflexible, fleshlycherry, and kuwdora for their cheerleading and suggestions. Without you guys, I would have given up. And a big thank you to annundriel, who not only did a very midnight hour beta, but also pushed me to add six freakin' scenes, OMG make this a much better story.
With gratitude and apologies to P.L. Travers. (Though despite that, this didn't turn out to be crack.)
