Christmas comment fic and "The Tower"

[thegrrrl2002]

icarusancalion wrote me an adorable John/Rodney comment fic that made me feel all warm and happy and Christmas-y. I love it. *g* Go, check it out!



How much do I love dorky John? Thiiiiiiiiiiis much. Enough that I can watch an episode like this and love every minute of it. The whole bit with him getting goosed was enough for me, but then they added in the "I never see this coming" moment and I was as happy as can be. Not to mention how much I giggled over that red-draperied bedroom of his.

See, that's what the show is all about for me. Plots are secondary to the cuteness. ::is a very simple creature::

I could go either way on whether John actually slept with the chick or not. Part of me likes to think that he backed way off when he realized the political implications. Or because Rodney he gets so jealous. Then again, it's entirely possible that John and Rodney have this understanding that a)John can have meaningless one night stands with random alien chickies, because b) Rodney intends to have sex with Carter should he ever get the opportunity. It's just something that works for them. Of course, John insists that if he's allowed to have these one night stands, it also means that Rodney's not allowed to bitch about them, but Rodney does anyway, because he never agreed to *that* clause. And John definitely has to use protection, because, "I like to put my mouth on that thing, remember?".

Yup, got it all figured out in my head.

Plus, I have to comment on how hot Thigh Holster Rodney was in this ep. Is it just me or is his neck looking particularly fine lately? With that one long muscle on the side that keeps showing up? That calls for some serious nibbling.

So, to sum it up...dorky, cute, hot, snarky. And Peter Woodward. Yum!

::laffs:: I haven't been able to face going back to re-watch that one yet, but your enthusiasm may well force me to do so. Trouble is, I have a half-boiled Tower / GUP tag tickling about in the corners of my head, and I'm scared of giving it fuel. Enough ideas-no-throughput already, riv!

I hate to be boring, but yes, Rodney's supernatural yummy hotness is beginning to outstrip all the vocabulary I can command. He just looked impossibly, freakishly hot this time out, and seemed to be leaner and more tightly-wound yet purposeful than usual, which I'm also chalking up to post-GUP trauma. WOOOOOOOOOBIE!

(John totally boned the chickie, by the way. TOTALLY!)

You can't write the tag unless you send me the PWP first, missy. I'm putting my oh-so-dainty foot down. ::is stern::

And there can never be enough words to describe Rodney's hotness. Because seriously, did he pull out all the stops or what? He's even hot when he's eating soup. ::sighs:: I can't wait to cap this ep. I was thinking he looked leaner, too. Maybe it was just the Black T-shirt of Hotness, I'm not sure.

[rivier.livejournal.com]

I'm not writing the dratted tag! I did send you as far as I got. Having Issues, again...

I choose to believe that John - who appeared to be totally for it - backed off when he realized that nookie = keys to the kingdom. I don't see John wanting to take the chance that he would be put into the position of having both Rodney and Elizabeth bitching him out for becoming a feudal overlord. *g*


And Rodney was so fucking hot it's a wonder he didn't set the forest on fire.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

having both Rodney and Elizabeth bitching him out for becoming a feudal overlord.

LOL! But he'd be so cute when he was trying to explain it. I think you're right, though. The scene was played for laughs, but I could buy into him extricating himself from her clutches despite his initially enthusiastic response.

And Rodney? Yeah. Incendiary. *g*

Oh, a-MEN! And, if not the forest, certainly my pants...

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Heeee!

[feather-autant.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. *gulp* ::note to self: Google to see if they sell asbestos underwear::

[rivier.livejournal.com]

Kevlar, baby - kevlar knickers all the way. They're the only thing for the discerning Rodney-watcher.

Sheppard has several pairs...

[claire.livejournal.com]

I kind of want to see this in a fic now, with John having to explain his kevlar underwear to someone ;)

[bentrumors.livejournal.com]

I like to put my mouth on that thing, remember

*snicker* typical Rodney logic

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Rodney is nothing if not logical. *g*

it also means that Rodney's not allowed to bitch about them, but Rodney does anyway, because he never agreed to *that* clause. And John definitely has to use protection, because, "I like to put my mouth on that thing, remember?".
hee. That whole bit made me laugh out loud. I usually think John's not sleeping with them but for your scenario, I'd change my mind. heh.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Well, John is such a porn star, of course he's sleeping with them. ::loves your icon::

[kalikahuntress.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed the ep the third time i watched it and after i realized paul Mullie wrote it but i have a hard time believing that John would sleep with anyone while on a mission. And I liked the ending conversation with Weir where he strongly implies that nothing happened with the girl.
I guess im wierd but i could seriously never read stories where John and Rodney have that kind of understanding, it just seems wierd to me , especially seeing how easily worked up Rodney gets about the random chick of the week.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

LOL, Rodney does get worked up over it all, doesn't he?

It's certainly inappropriate for John to have slept with her, but they were going for laughs with that scene, so all common sense went out the door with the writing team. Sometimes it irritates me, but I'm good with the hand-waving.

[kalikahuntress.livejournal.com]

I just have to say that John is incredibly hot in that icon, wow:)
And the inane plot was to be expected anyway, Paull Mullie is one of the weaker writers for Sg-1, i don't enjoy his eps that much unless he's writing with someone else.

How adorable is clueless!John??? TOO ADORABLE!!!

I'm still 50/50 on whether he did or didn't sleep with her, but I'm kind of leaning toward that he did.

And Rodney, oh yeah that thigh holster, the neck and the shirt that they put him in now..lovin' all of it!!!

[feather-autant.livejournal.com]

I adored the whole, "I never see this coming," line! I mean, c'mon. He's the Big Hero, right? And too cute! But in my mind I could hear his brain whirling. "Wha?!? EEEWWWWW Girl cooties! Oh, right! Girls think I'm hot, too." LOL I love that he's always so surprised by it. *happy sigh*

And I love that Rodney never takes it well. He gets so pouty, and snarky, and jealous, and *glares*. I can see the after effect. John wheedling to get back into Rodney's good graces. "C'mon Rodney," John murmurs, as he licks up the side of Rodney's tense neck, pining him against the wall. "Don't me beg. You know I never see it coming, that I'm always taken off guard." He gently takes the muscle in his teeth and feels Rodney shiver. "Except with you," he adds. ::has a moment::

gods, i just am very happy that it's time for the rest of the season to start. *bg* er, and yikes, as i was typing this i looked up to see daniel in *that* outfit from "last stand" which is on scifi right now. help. ;)

anyway, thank you for the link, and yup.... snarky, and hot. is it jan. 6th yet? *veg*

a)John can have meaningless one night stands with random alien chickies, because b) Rodney intends to have sex with Carter should he ever get the opportunity.

Yep, they did.

*nods furiously*

They shook hands on it and everything.

And then Carter came to visit Atlantis (the real Carter, not the fake one Rodney hallucinated) and John followed her and Rodney around everywhere with a big frown and his lips were all twisted and Rodney couldn't help but be all smug and chuckle-y, and he is the worst at being suave but John gets all mooshy when he's trying to be debonair and Carter is like 'WTF?' 'cause she knows Rodney ain't getting a piece of her, and those two are the worst men she's seen doing the whole 'Look at us, we're straight, we're so very straight - see, my boyfriend is totally straight' since she was traipsing around the galaxy with Daniel and Jack, who would skip down stairs, he was so straight.

*gasps and inhales*

Man. That was a rush.

::loves you fiercely::

OMG, that is exactly what happens. *g* That is going to give me the giggles for the rest of the evening. And if you ever wrote that fic, I would probably explode from the sheer squeefulness.

[stellahobbit.livejournal.com]

OMG what are you talking about? I just wrote the fic! See, it's all there and...you just have to imagine stuff and...

Oh man. I can't believe it. No, stay away from me, plot bunny! I'm already lying on the floor breathless!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

They're dangerous, aren't they? A silly little idea gets planted in the brain, and next thing you know, it's growing and growing and spreading and....

Yeah. ::nods::

Mmmmm yeah, I am so there with that. This episode was just soooo damn huggable!
