Icon prompts!

I feel like writing but I'm all aimless and unfocused. ::flails:: It's the holidays. Too much stuff going on. Although, not really--I'm not very busy this week. I think it's the thinking about having stuff to do in the future that is distracting me. How silly is that?

So anyway, I'm calling for icon prompts. The way it works is:

1. You post a comment.

2. I'll write a SGA drabble/ficlet inspired by the icon you've used.

Because I love icons. Icons are such happy things. I think everyone should do this meme in their own journals. ::eyes flist:: And yes, by everyone, I mean YOU.

ETA: Eeep! Okay, that's enough now for me to work with! ::pets pretty icons:: Oooh, inspiring!!

ETA2: Warning: Ficlets may contain spoilers for SGA 3.12 "Echoes".

Part II

He and Rodney spend hours downloading, examining, arguing, and exploring, and he feels like they've just got started when the Colonel announces it is time to go. They can return tomorrow with a bigger team, the Colonel explains, via the Daedalus and transport the larger items.

Just in case, he and Rodney grab the two main data drives, small enough to slip into their pockets.

When they leave the cave, Radek is astonished to see the snow. "When did this happen?" There's over a foot of the stuff to trudge through to get back to the 'gate, and it's still coming down in light, airy flakes that spin and swirl before touching down.

"Oh, this is just great," Rodney grumbles.

They pick their way carefully down the path. Radek slips and falls to his knees, getting snow up his sleeve and when they get near an open area the drifts are even deeper and harder to walk through. Even so, he can't help but notice that the trees are decorated in white in a way that's almost pretty and it reminds him of Christmas time back home. The wind has died down, and it feels a little warmer than it was before, so maybe it's not so bad despite Rodney's constant complaining and then--

A snowball hits Radek's chest.

Dismayed, he looks up, trying to find the culprit but they are all busily making their way through the drifts.

It could have been anyone.

Radek's brows narrow. He picks up a handful of snow, carefully packs it into a ball. The decision is easy.

And his aim is good. The snowball hits Ronon's dreads, dead center on the back of his head.

Ronon stops and turns around, slowly.

"Rodney," Radek says. "That wasn't nice."

By the time they all stumble back through the gate, every one of them is caked with now and shivering cold. Ronon's expression is downrigh joyful. Radek is pretty sure he's never seen the Colonel laugh so hard and Teyla, of all people, has saved one last snowball for Elizabeth.

Radek clutches the data drive in his pocked and thinks that maybe off-world missions aren't necessarily bad, at least not all of them.

*snorfle*

See, I always knew that Radek was the truly evil one.

These are all so lovely, though. I think my favorite is the one where, with a hug, John is his own undoing. :)

(also, this is a fab idea, and I'm snagging it now)

Yay!

Zelenka is definitely a sly one. Troublemaker. *g*

And thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying these! It's been fun puttering away on little ideas. I think everyone should do it!

A team snowball fight with Radek! That's just wonderful. Especially Radek hitting Ronon and blaming Rodney.

*g* Thank you, sweetie! I figured it was time for a team frolic.

And you just know John threw that first snowball.

She's going to want to run back through the gate and get more snow, I know it. *g*

Radek is the evil twin.

I want some snow now. It felt like 65 out today though.

Hee!

We had some snow. And now it's gone, thank goodness. It's in the 50's today, and I'm not arguing with that, not one bit.

Time for spring?
