Title: Comfort Food

Spoilers: general spoilers for past Siege I

McKay found the colonel in the SGC cafeteria, post-debriefing, dispiritedly picking at his french fries. He sat down, stole one, and grimaced.

It was almost-but-not-quite-entirely-unlike the tubers that grew on MX4-2X5.

John pushed the plate away, "Don't bother with the chicken."

"It's not like it's going to kill you, Sheppard." Rodney reached over, but paused. "Wait, it doesn't have--"

"No citrus that I could tell."

Rodney bit into a leg. It looked close enough to the giant amphibians from M25-67J that the chicken almost tasted like, but it was stringier and harder to chew. And less sweet.

Even the hair was droopy.

"Oh for the love of--stop moping! We'll be back in a week!"

Sheppard just raised an eyebrow and pretended not to stew over his coffee.

I love your brain. Homesick!Sheppard is too adorable for words.

*cuddles the hair*

Awww.

Makes me wonder when they started meaning Atlantis and not Earth when they said "home."

[ltlj.livejournal.com]

Hee. I love this!

Ah the Giant Amphibian of M25-67J with Mango-Tarragon Crème Fraiche--*kisses fingertips*.

=D His hair has a life of it's own. I keep on dreaming of a moodtheme made entirely of caps of his hair...one of these days, I'll break down and make it, maybe. ::wistful::

(The cream, of course, is from the semi-goats of M4M-58D.)

You have read the drabbles zortified wrote about his hair and the sentient grass, right?

[permetaform]

(the ones with two udders, yes)

[permetaform]

::nods:: I always love those fics where they're realizing that Atlantis is more home to them, it feels right, with the way they've shown the character in The Rising (except, perhaps come to think of it, maybe Ford)

[permetaform]

(there was a natural tendancy towards the mono-udder, but two udders allowed the semi-goat to produce semi-kids and be milked simultaneously so the natives of M4M-58D bred for that)

[minnow1212.livejournal.com]

Hee! Very fun.

[permetaform]

=D thank you!

[permetaform]

::giggles:: oh dear. Now I kinda want a chia!hair sheppard icon...

[rokeon.livejournal.com]

(of course the dual-udder, like most of the other genetic quirks that recurred in the semi-goat population, was harmless. the natives counted themselves lucky that the two-headed carnivorous mutants were a rarity.)

Sh-sh-sh-Sheppard!

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

And whenever you make that, please share as I want that to be my future theme.

[permetaform]

::nods:: will do!

Aw, I love that their comfort food has changed galaxies along with them! Funny how your definition of home can change when you're not looking.
