Ever After

"I really, really hate you," John hissed at Rodney, not for the first time and certainly not for the last time. "I would have thought that by now we'd be finished with the crazy, alien bonding rituals."

Rodney turned his head only a fraction. "Shut up and smile at the marriage commissioner, John."

John smiled tightly at the little white-haired lady in the blue robe standing just a few feet across their backyard under a little white awning that Rodney's nieces had spent the morning festooning with far too many streamers. And then he felt Rodney's fingertips, cool and steady, reach out and caress his palm.

"I don't really hate you," John said finally. "I just dislike you a lot."

"The feeling's mutual. Shall we?" Rodney said.

"Yeah," John sighed. "Why the hell not?"

And they lived ... well, like most people do, but with more aliens and a much shorter refractory period for men their age.

And they loved each other a whole lot.

BWAHAHAHA. And also, Eeeeee. *g*

[rokeon.livejournal.com]

I read 'nieces,' got confused, and then took an embarrassingly long time to figure out the crazy aliens' home planet.

Canadians made them do it!!!

Neat.

[teaphile.livejournal.com]

Wait... do you have Rodney born in Kitchener? Woo-hoo!

Damn those alien Canadians!

ever after

[laceymcbain.livejournal.com]

Happily ever after in Canada. *sigh* I like that you called marriage an alien bonding ritual - it really really is.

[shoemaster.livejournal.com]

Alien bonding rituals. Heeee. I am so amused by the word play.

Also, my inner font whore adores Rodney's handwriting.

I'm curious, why Kitchener for Rodney's birthplace? (I have people in Kitchener, so I feel a connection to it.)

Reminds of my wedding day..

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

Perfect! Loved: "I don't really hate you," John said finally. "I just dislike you a lot." ::grins::

wags, springwoof

[paranoidangel]

That's funny. Although proves I should really read description cos I had no idea what was going on until I read the comments.

[haphazardmethod.livejournal.com]

"I would have thought that by now we'd be finished with the crazy, alien bonding rituals."

So cute. *g*

[cereta.livejournal.com]

Awwwww.

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

hee! ""Shut up and smile at the marriage commissioner, John."

wonderful and delightful. :)

[mecurtin.livejournal.com]

Yes. This is totally true.

Except: Rodney's middle name is "Ingram", we read it off the framed documents on his bedroom wall.

[kajikia.livejournal.com]

Tiny and sweet and perfect. I liked the detail of Sheppard being born in Germany--a whole lot of backstory in those two words.

[j00j.livejournal.com]

Awww!

"And they lived ... well, like most people do, but with more aliens and a much shorter refractory period for men their age."
heheh.

*contemplates all the intriguing little details, like Sheppard being born in Germany*

[sgatlantislight.livejournal.com]

Oh, this was cool. I loved John's take on marriage being an alien bonding ritual. Too funny.
