I was wondering where you'd went! :-)

Will we get to see the ceremony some day?

(FYI, Commander is a Naval rank, not an Air Force rank.)

RL stuff happens and I've been working on some longer stuff, but I'm still here, and still posting, albeit slowly.

No, I'm probably always going to be too lazy to write the ceremony. One of the things I love about writing this is that I only write the bits I want to, and just allude to the rest.

And believe it or not, I actually knew that. But Atlantis has finally given up on Earth, and they've basically rearranged their military structure. John didn't really want to be a General, because that would have felt fucking weird for him, so they call him the Commander instead. He was already the military commander of Atlantis, so it made sense.

...That's one of the reasons I should write the ceremony scene, isn't it? Ah well.

Hee! I can just see your Atlantis group giving the SGC, the Air Force, and Earth the finger by formally naming John Military Commander of Atlantis. I like it.

Thanks!

John looked across the room at his reflection in the mirror, all dusky blue skin and gold eyes and the silver of his brand-new rank tab glinting on the collar of his black shirt, and thought, sweet.

Hell yeah. Sweet.

hee, thanks. Pegasus, the galaxy of possibilities: where even being blue doesn't stop you from being really fucking cool. (and, you know, getting promoted.)

NOM NOM NOM. That is a very tasty tableau you wrote there. Yisyis indeedy.

... and Rodney's smart-assed "Commander Sheppard, sir," is dark-chocolate-fudge icing on the cake. Mmmmm, snarky & sexy: the PB&J of SGA! :-)
