sherrold was kind enough to beta this for me. (Thanks, hon.) Written for the fifth round of atlantis_lvw, where it tied for Most Favorite this round. The theme was 'colors', and we had a 100-word-count limit.
Kaleidoscope
Fall leaves drifted down onto John's face, a kaleidoscope of orange, yellow-green, and crimson.
"You okay, Sheppard?" Ronon offered him a hand.
"Touch football, remember?" Standing without help, John brushed himself off. "No tackling."
Ronon shrugged. "More fun this way."
"For you."
"Dinner's ready," Rodney yelled, and instantly, John's mouth started watering as the scent of roasted yalnuk reached him.
Near the fire, Teyla greeted him with a pleasant "good harvest" and handed him a wine flask, their fingers brushing.
Sipping from it, he passed the flask along to Rodney, letting their fingers brush too, and settled down to eat.
