5 Weddings on Atlantis Part 2clwilson2006May 23 2010, 21:51:46 UTC
5. Major Evan Lorne and Dr David Parrish They’ve been back in Pegasus three months when Don’t Ask Don’t Tell gets repealed, at least for SGC personnel. Lorne was having a very long meeting with Sheppard and a bottle of Jack; involving a lot of long silences and a lot of rubbish bin basketball with scrunched up paper. Lorne is around 20 points up in the game when Sheppard blurts “I know about you and Parrish.” Lorne spits whiskey down himself while Sheppard tries not to laugh. The conversation goes a lot smoother after that, and the whiskey is replaced by a very nice bottle of Vodka, courtesy of Zelenka. The further down the bottle they get the more maudlin Sheppard gets, admitting that he has a ‘thing’ for Rodney and that Evan really shouldn’t mess this up with Parrish. Then they decide that the marines and airmen would feel more relaxed if someone higher up the chain of command were to come out. Lorne finds himself planning Atlantis’ first gay wedding with his CO. John has a side plan for spacing Keller, and Lorne refills Sheppard’s glass. Around the time Sheppard starts drawing up a seating plan, Lorne decides maybe he had better propose to David. Their wedding, while not a fairytale, is certainly not a train wreck. Woolsey officiates, Sheppard is his best man, and Cadman is Parrish’s bridesmaid, at least that’s the word she uses. No-one gives anyone away, no-one cries, and no-one wolf whistles when they kiss. During their first dance the proximity alarms go off and the wraith pay a visit. Controlled Chaos takes over as everyone reports to exactly where they are supposed to be. Lorne spends the first night as a married man swearing blind that he never invited the Wraith to his wedding.

There is nothing about this fic I don't love, but this line in particular is utterly perfect: Lorne spends the first night as a married man swearing blind that he never invited the Wraith to his wedding.
