This was supposed to be a Five Things about Steve and food as lillian13 kind of wanted and I actually had ideas for all five, but I can't write them, so you get two. Sorry?

( Five things minus three about Steve and new foods )

Anne asked where it was. And since I'm a Jew, I don't have a 25 December deadline.

Five Things That Happened In Atlantis at Christmas.

1) There are tasteful and subued decorating fits among both the military and civilians.

2) There is gingerbread.

3) There is a Santa Tracker. ( The SGC shares a mountain with NORAD )

Okay, so I seem to have mined five items from five Five Things requests. I can rest.

SGA cast list

Five from Five
Five places on Earth (minus four) where Ronon felt at home
Five songs (minus four) Major Lorne can't just listen to anymore
Five ways (minus four) Teyla met the Atlantean expedition

( Five times (minus four) Captain Radner regretted knowing aliens existed )

From here and for lizbet0, who will probably see both requests filled eventually, since the second was a killer.

( Five things Nancy wishes she could tell someone back home. )

... and this is me, posting fic on a Friday afternoon again.

Five Ways It Didn't Go
5300 words; no dead people

( Took the exit before Atlantis, missed the turn for Pegasus... )

For seferin."I think he'd walk from Lejeune if he had to," Lorne agreed. Upon his return to Earth, Polito had been named staff secretary to a marine general and his reaction to the phone call asking him if he wanted to go back to Atlantis had been "Sir, I'd hug you if I could." ( here)

Five things Polito hated about his new job
1000 words

( The DMV almost made him miss the Wraith. )

This will count as cat_77's request, slightly amended because it had too much potential to turn into the Five Things I did that nobody wanted to read because it was too depressing. And I kept myself from the apocalyptic AU scenarios this time, too.

4400 words

( Five Things Lorne Wishes He Hadn't Seen -- and One He's Glad He Did )

seferin: Five differences between the Air Force and the Marines (as explained to Ronon)?

( You really want a straight answer? )

inimicallyyours: Five things that Cadman misses about Atlantis... but it turned out to be only three. Call it a recession special.

( Laura at large )

raisintorte: Five times Ronon went on missions with Lorne's team (and they all came home in one piece. For the most part.)
... which I am sort of cheating on. The first one got spun off into Ex Nihilo, the last one failed to materialize, and you may or may not find some of this triptych a little familiar.

( Three times Ronon went on missions with Lorne's team and they all came home in one piece. For the most part. )
