This was great - a marvelous way to start off the challenge! I like the idea that they accidentally set off an automated system, that it really had nothing to do with them at all (except maybe for having the ATA gene), but of course that didn't occur to them. Which, given what all else they've been through, I don't really blame them. Their voices were spot-on, and I can imagine that it would take the two of them being this isolated for John to have *any* kind of conversation about whatever their relationship is.

"You're--you're--" John almost squirmed, except guys didn't do things like that. "You know what you are," he said helplessly.
Oh, poor John. ::pets::

Loved this:

John knew he was exhausted, knew he had to watch his tongue, and still found himself shaking his head. "We're sleeping together," he said, looking up at Ronon. "That a problem?"

"Do I look like I care where you put your dick?" Ronon asked.

That's so Ronon.

Really enjoyable! I loved the realism of their relationship, with that hopeful, but Ic and not smooshy ending, which really fitted with the tone of your fic :)
