sticksandsnark, prompt: culture shock
Summary: And that was how Rodney got sucked against his will into the Day of Renewal celebration, or--as Rodney liked to think of it--Teyla's Athosian Extravaganza.
Adorable, funny... perfect ending.

Rodney/Teyla; PG; ~2100 words
Forsticksandsnark, prompt: Teyla. Queen.
Summary: He realized, waking up one morning to blink at the stack of books by his bed, that he'd never said hello to Teyla in her own language, never sung a made-up song to Kagaan with words the boy would one day claim as his own.
Rodney learns Athosian for Teyla. Beautiful story, and an intriguing look at the linguistics of the gate'verse.
The last of the large double-spread pages is slain. >_< I love illustration, but that amount of overtime pretty much sucked. I can haz my life back now, plz?
Oh, I watched that SGA episode that doesn't exist yet.
So, the Shep whumpers had the right idea by bribing Mallozzi with chocolates, eh? *g* A fun episode overall... full of team-y goodness. Like others have pointed out, it felt like pretty much one big fanfic from beginning to end. Actually I may have read parts of this before. Not a bad thing, mind.
Okay, but just this one thing bugged me: when Michael snagged their Jumper, why didn't he have guards hiding at the landing site, to conveniently pluck our team when they made their way back there? I mean, that was a pretty gross oversight on Michael's part (or rather that of the writers). Better not think about stuff like that too closely... *rewatches Rodney delivering Teyla's baby instead*
Keller is a pushover (but I love her). Caldwell was great! "Please make that ship go away" was my favorite line of the episode.
I'm going to really miss Sam. Pity that Amanda Tapping is leaving now, just when her character is starting to gel with the others. I would've liked to see her on the show full-time for a change. But on the other hand watching Woolsey clash with the others should be interesting.

Textual translation software was standard on every Lantean machine, and he fed words from his book into the laptop, sent them through a set of algorithms he'd tweaked once or twice, waited for the English meanings to pop up on his screen. Ashna, Devaat, Mehnit, Eshon, Emar, G'tare, Tasaan, Ushf'd – the words sprang up in Athosian and English; queen, queen, queen, queen, queen, queen, queen, queen. Rodney frowned and ran the command again – queen, queen; the result was the same.
