Loved this. Poor Rodney. I loved the Batman talk, lol.

Hee! Thanks. So glad you liked.

Great story! I loved how Rodney thinks it's logical to go from talking about a comic book hero to talking about nuclear physics. Whole thing is excellent.

Thanks so much! I'm thrilled you liked it. Rodney definitely thinks on a different plane.

This cracked me up in places (Rodney's needed to out talk the hosts!! Batman for four hours! Snerk!), and in other places made me feel all gooey and warm!

Loved poor freaked out Rodney, and Teyla's POV was spot on! Nice touch with Jeannie sending her a rocker, btw.

Also: Teyla patted a hand on the top of her belly. “He is quite active. He seems to enjoy kicking my ribs and bouncing on my bladder.”

Carter laughed. “Then it sounds like he’s doing his job...” LOL!!

Excellent story!

Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Always good to hear the POV is right. I just love that Rodney's favorite superhero is Batman. Warm and gooey=yay!

Oh wildcat! I loved this! Love, love, love. This was so unique-- Teyla's POV, a creative reason for Rodney to be needed (Batman! HA!), a super-creative method of whump, Rodney and Teyla friendship.

Love!

I laughed (“We are acknowledging one of your special skills, Rodney,”), I cried, (Dammit, McKay!” John’s head dropped. “Don’t do this, Rodney, please. I can’t lose one more… I just- I can’t…”) I saved this fic immediately in LJ memories. :)

Thank you.

Yea!!! I'm so thrilled that you liked it. I was nervous since it isn't your typical h/c type of fic. Whew! I always giggle when they discuss Batman, and Rodney really felt the need to air his opinions to his captive audience. :)

I just about fell off my chair laughing when he chose Batman first! Not astrophysics or Ancient tech. Not "Why I should win a Nobel Prize." Not "All the ways your planet smells like dung and what you should do about it." Batman!

You win at life. :)

I really enjoyed this! You have a fantastic Teyla voice and I loved the details of her viewpoint -- swimming in the pool, her son moving in her womb, the way that she misses team nights offworld. Fantastic idea for trade negotiations -- talking for a whole day about Batman, heeeeee! And, of course, sweet h/c. Nicely done!

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. Teyla has such a unique POV, and I don't use her nearly enough so I'm really pleased to hear it worked. I enjoyed exploring the little details in her life. And Rodney insisted on talking about Batman since he rarely gets the opportunity to opine on it without interruption. :)
