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.

This was another wonderful slice of life on (well, actually, off) Atlantis. I just love the realism and attention to detail in your stories. Your Sheppard and Lorne and Marine contingent read as real military, operating in a real universe, not the cardboard version presented by canon. And I adore your Lorne, silently commiserating with Zelenka over the things their bosses put them thru; and marshmallow-man Rodney and his attempts to recruit Horton... So many lovely details. (Happy sigh.)

Thank you very much. I often get distracted by details, but sometimes it works out for the best.
