<blockquote>A cube is a region of space formed by six identical square faces joined along their edges. It's also the region of space that John and his team are currently trapped in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“Teyla.” Her name sounds more like a curse than anything else, and she supposes she deserves that, given what he’s seen her do over the years.</blockquote> ➤ a snapshot of one moment far into Teyla's experience of a timeloop. dark.

<blockquote>John didn't remember the crash. He knew he lay sprawled on the jumper's deck, that every part of his body hurt, and that he could hear the others shouting. Teyla, Rodney, Dr. Simpson. Memory flooded back abruptly and he managed to open his eyes. No, it wasn't a nightmare.</blockquote> ➤ I'm kind of disappointed that this isn't a fusion where John is Raksura, but it's a fun fic nonetheless

<blockquote>sometimes the darkness follows you home</blockquote> ➤ HOW DID I NOT HAVE THIS BOOKMARKED ALREADY???

<blockquote>A jumper crash separates the team on a wilderness planet, and they aren't alone. Late season five, somewhere before "Brainstorm"; mostly gen with background references to past Ronon/Keller, pre-Rodney/Keller, implied Teyla/Kanaan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The thing about the Gate translator was that after the first few weeks, you stopped thinking about it most of the time, until something happened like Ronon bumping shoulders with Teyla after a particularly uncomfortable meeting with a village elder and saying, "Bros before hoes."</blockquote> ➤ Or: atlantis galaxy has a/b/o dynamics. John and Rodney are oblivious.

<blockquote>So in last week's Databurst, shusu (who I might be sortakinda secretly stalking) wrote the following about trinityofone's Misery to Man: "This is a triumph of sprogfic, and a totally incredible story, missing being the Pick of the Week by that much. Why so awesome? Because there is no conceivable way to give it a happy ending. NONE. All of fandom is trying to disprove that theorem, but as of right now, it's the Millennium Prize of SGA fanon." Now, me being me, and determined that there ain't no pairing high enough (except for McBeck, which makes me want to puke), ain't no sadness low enough, ain't no cliche wide enough to keep me from at least giving it a go, babe, have decided to prove her wrong. A happy ending for Misery?</blockquote> from skaredykat's rec on fancake: <blockquote>The premise: In trinityofone's Misery to Man, Rodney's about to accidentally die on an alien planet when the aliens kindly offer John the option of mpreg-reincarnating him. John says yes, wee!Rodney has no memories that his father used to be his lover. In the fic I'm reccing here, La Dulce Espera, a sequel to Misery to Man, John has a hard time dealing with this; Teyla steps in. Interesting but somewhat sad, until the end.</blockquote>

<blockquote>John felt like Atlantis was home from the moment he stepped through the Gate. He just didn't expect that the city would feel the same way. In which Ancients come and go, Rodney reinvents Babelfish, Ronon resumes his career in library science, and Teyla is awesome.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The expedition finds surprising signs of a long-missing race, but a greater surprise lies in store.</blockquote> ➤ what happened to the Furlings? Here is an EXCELLENT ANSWER. Rodney and Jeannie are furling children!

<blockquote>He just wants to drum.</blockquote> ➤ the band au ➤ http://archiveofourown.org/works/108442

➤ does what it says on the tin!

<blockquote>Everyone says the same thing when they see the TARDIS for the first time. Well. Ish.</blockquote>

➤ in which Teyla has a symbolic dream, and does what she can to fix Rodney, John, and Ronon. ➤ Lovely teamy fic as well as Rodney/John. (EPIC bit with Teyla asking Caldwell about DADT)

➤ Ronon has wings (all Satedans do) and Wraith are...something rather more mystical/magical. ➤ and Rodney's gatekeeper of Atlantis, alone with the whales. ➤ Teyla as main character.

➤ Sequel to Sequelae (by diff author). In which Rodney and John return to Pegasus to fix John's relapes of Iratus-bug-ness, and Teyla's willing to give up a lot to save him. Sequelae is at https://sga-flashfic.livejournal.com/712183.html 26k words by spike21

➤ Cool AU to do with element-working, with amazing worldbuilding and amazing character relationships.

➤ Teyla and Vala talk together about Earth culture stuff they've heard about from other people.

➤ Rodney and Teyla are stranded and captured, with Ronon and John in a wraith buffer that's losing power.

➤ in which Teyla crochets an afghan over the course of the five years, with contributions by friends. Lovely.

➤ Rodney getting back in touch with music, and Teyla being awesome

➤ Teyla accidentally sells her teammates for a ranch. Funny and awesome.

➤ Angsty and creepy timeloop story with Teyla and Ronon being aware. ➤ Not happy ending.

➤ Waiting for each other in an in-between place after death. ➤ Deathfic but somehow peaceful and heartwarming and awesome

<blockquote>Two of the S.G.C.'s top secret agents, Teyla Emmagan and Rodney McKay, are sent to the Casino Atlantis to investigate the suspicious business dealings of John Sheppard...</blockquote>

<blockquote>Teyla has 3 brothers: They're all born in Pegasus. When they're still kids, Sateda creates a great alliance across many worlds and exchanges male children between them to cement the agreement. Teyla loses her cousin Kanaan and gains three brothers she never wanted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"We don't leave a woman behind, either, ma'am."</blockquote> ➤ some women of atlantis get captured, and rescue themselves

<blockquote>Buried alive with a teammate on an alien world, and something outside just might blow up the planet. It's a very bad day in the Pegasus galaxy, even by Rodney's impressive standards.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Teyla feigned sex for the first time at 17, a year before she had sex in truth. She was a trader and a trader's daughter: consummation ceremonies were relatively uncommon but not unknown. They came with the territory.</blockquote> ➤ taking the whole sex-rituals thing seriously, interesting and well done also at https://minnow.dreamwidth.org/28010.html

➤ among other things, Teyla teaches Radek how to swim

<blockquote>"The Marines call it the Planet of the Willing Virgins, you know." It's the "willing" part that's debatable.</blockquote> ➤ uncomfortable/realistic look at the power dynamics of the earthers in pegasus galaxy
