This is not a good story

[surreul]

It's half way decent meta thinly disguised as a story with none of the creative pretty things that make stories fun and enjoyable. The voice is more formal then how I really hear John. I think I'll either work it into a decent story one day or simply rewrite it as actual meta. But, it exists and I need to be writing a paper so of course I'd

I never thought I'd like something with such clear Shep/Ronon angles, but it works as good meta for me.

Still not sure I subscribe to the idea of Shep as gay, though.

I like overlong replies.

I think people can be attracted to both genders, but only willing to act on one - for whatever reasons of their own.

eg. Shep might be attracted to guys in the back of his mind, but I don't see him acting on it to the point of propositioning someone - due to his inhibitions, repressions, background, training, lines, whatever. My personal view of him doesn't compass him watching a guy and thinking the guy is 'sexy'. 'Deadly', 'athletic', 'graceful', 'fluid' - yes; 'sexy', 'attractive', 'erotic' - no.

However, you have my agreement on sparring not being a part of Shep and Ronon's regular routine. I might consider them both sparring with Teyla regularly, but not so much with each other. They're a bit too competitive (as per Conversion) to be in that kind of 'contest' against each other so often and be good team-mates, too.
