Eat Your Heart Out, Peggy Fleming
genfic; 28000 words
summary: The Ice Capades come to Pegasus and John gets a front-row seat.

John really didn't have a lot to do as he waited for the marines to rappel down, clean out the hole, measure the depth and the distance to where they thought the roof was, and set the next charge. He'd come out today only because Rodney was starting to get a complex as this would have been the fifth mission and John hadn't yet visited. Nevermind that there had been and would be dozens of projects Rodney ran off-world that John had never graced with his presence; that he had been there for the conception and had no interest in how it turned out deeply offended Rodney to the point that it was starting to affect their team missions.

("It's a mining facility, McKay, not a baby." "You are totally missing the point." "Apparently.")

With grateful thanks to: siegeofangels, witchofthedogs, and vonknibble. Anything that's wrong is entirely my fault.

I love the sense of team you get here - John's quiet concern for Teyla and Rodney, Ronon's refusal to gear up until he sees just how cold it is, Cadman's role. I also like that when they get back to Atlantis, it's just another day on Atlantis and they all have had just a little too much practice at recovering from crises. It's a sad but true observation.

Atlantis is big enough and experienced enough that... yeah. This doesn't even register on the crisis meter.

John's team is devoted to each other -- old marrieds and not the flush of young love. They're past the stage where they even bother trying to prove it explicitly.

Many thanks.
