Aww, this made me feel all melty. *dissolves into puddle*

[velocitygrass]

Thanks so much, dear! It feels like I haven't written in ages and I'm glad that it's melt-worthy.

There even is a sequel now :)

[lavvyan]

There is? Nice! :D

[velocitygrass]

Yes *g*

(And I also fixed the thing where I had everyone referring to John as Colonel in season one. *head desk* This is what you get for finishing fic in the last minute.)

This is adorable. I have a hard time believing these guys would be able to do Valentine's Day, but motivated by a desire not to hurt Teyla, yeah, that could happen.

[velocitygrass]

Yes, our guys voluntarily sharing their feelings seems like a stretch, which is why I made Teyla give them a little push :)

There's a sequel now here, although that one might cross the border from hard to believe over to completely OOC ;)

Thank you!

awwww....

[velocitygrass]

Thank you :)

I've just posted a sequel to my journal, btw.

Oh, that made me wiggle my toes in delight! Poor inarticulate boys! :)

[velocitygrass]

Hehe. Thank you! They are really quite inarticulate. Well, John in any case ;)

That was possibly the cutest thing ever.

It made me laugh as Ford was so enthusiastic. And Teyla was just brilliant. I loved what she said to each of them. And Rodney's to Teyla was really rather beautiful.

But John and Rodney were just SO cute with each other - it made MY heart grow about two sizes *g*

[velocitygrass]

Aww, thank you!

I remember Ford as always being so cheerful. (And oh boy, it just occurred to me that I had John as Colonel throughout the fic, even though it's season 1.)

But John and Rodney were just SO cute with each other - it made MY heart grow about two sizes *g*
They care about each other so much. Even if John is so terribly bad at expressing it that he can't even finish. But Rodney understands him anyway and I'm glad it gave him the courage to tell John that he felt the same. They really are just so cute with each other :)
