Written at kensieg's not-quite request, and inspired by the genius that is this. I probably used the word "iguana" a few more times than strictly necessary, but oh well

"Iguana love (like puppy love, but larger and spikier)"
He spent the entire trip back trying and failing to come up with an argument that might convince Elizabeth that they needed to bring George to Atlantis. Unfortunately, it followed me home, can I keep it? didn’t seem any more likely to work than it had when he was eleven. And anyway, he wasn't sure George would fit through the stargate.
Awwwwwww! You posted it! Absolutely killer! Love love love this story!
Thank you Edgar for writing me the iguana's story!
They're so much fun to write as cute--I can't help it! (Except when I do, and kill off everyone John loves, but those stories never seem to get finished for some reason.)
When I was a kid, one of my friend's older brothers had an iguana, and I briefly, desperately wanted one too. And then I read about how finicky lizards can be, and decided warm-blooded and fuzzy was probably the way to go. But I still think iguanas are pretty awesome.
I was going to end with the next-to-last paragraph, but it just didn't sound right. And then I realized what was missing, because John would totally want to take the giant iguana back with him. He could keep it on one of the piers, and feed it stray wraith. George wouldn't be a problem, Elizabeth. Really! Look--if you pat his nose, he wags his tail. *pat pat*
I know I would have happily watched a show that was about an air force major and his giant iguana (and friends) having adventures in an ancient alien city.
