There's so much excitement when starting to write in a new fandom!! As
maegunnbatt pointed out (who is writing super keen Plumfic right now and is just too cool for school), everything's just so fresh and shiny and... new. :D
Even though SGA really isn't new to me since I've been rabidly reading and fangirling since the summer but still! I think I'm really hitting my stride with this AU. I'm up to 15 pages and I've actually already written the end, which is really weird for me. I just have to go back and fill in the middle. I don't think I've ever written anything that way before. Huh.
The McShep banter is the hardest part, so...
Teyla bowed her head, soft pleasure curling her lips. “That is very generous of you, Prince John.”
“Just being neighborly.” He broke into a grin.
“Neighborly,” Rodney harrumphed, dropping down beside him and biting into a round of flat bread Teyla had wordlessly passed him. “You just want Atlantis to be as magical and cool as Athos.”
“Hey now,” John protested. “Atlantis already is cool. Two words, Rodney: glass. castle.”
Rodney rolled his eyes. “Yes, yes, and perhaps one day a rock will be thrown and you’ll have to build something more structurally sound.”
“Yeah, ‘cause it’s not like all of you over at Athos didn’t beg my parents for help with the Genii,” he cracked.
John had a point, of course, but Rodney wasn’t actually going to admit it. “That proves nothing about the impenetrability of Athos Castle-”
“Except it does,” John interrupted smugly.
“And anyway, there’s an extraordinarily hirsute man striding towards us, though man is really too restrictive a term. It may be a dog.”
......
An uncomfortable silence fell, then John clapped his hands together. “Well. You’re welcome to our camp, but we won’t be here for long.”
Ronon nodded. “I’ve been following you.”
“Great.” Rodney bobbed his head. “That’s just, ah, great. Really,” he said, then hissed to John, “what are you doing? He could be rabid!”
“Can it, Rodney,” he muttered out of the side of his mouth, then grinned brightly at Ronon. “Sit. Eat. Teyla has… bread.”
“Yes, but not an endless supply!” Rodney added desperately.
Your opinion is duly appreciated!!
