Aiden gets to name things. And marines like to play pranks.

They’re figuring out how they fit together.

“Among the Athosians,” Teyla offers, “the lamps are lit on the darkest day of the year, the day which will lead to the longest night.”

The stargate program begins in 1928, when Dr. Langford’s team discovers a working stargate in Giza and the symbols to dial Atlantis. Then the aliens invade.

Ronon returns to find Sateda wasn’t destroyed, but there’s no going back in time.

After Rodney’s break-up with Jennifer, he throws himself into his work. Perhaps a bit too literally.

Jennifer rises with the dawn. She knows that Teyla is not asleep in the low tent pitched next to her own but she doesn’t ruin the illusion by saying goodbye.

Cybernetic/Human Construct with enhanced artificial intelligence, Serial Number 5592930299, Designation: Sheppard, Major John is sent on a mission to the Pegasus Galaxy. He and twenty-six other cycons on the expedition are hiding a secret.

Pegasus makes for some different traditions. Some aren’t even unpleasant.

John stared down into the pit, Ronon by his side, and was grateful beyond belief that Rodney had had to sit out this mission. There was no way, just no way in hell they could have prevented a diplomatic incident, if not ugly, torture-filled deaths for the whole team.

When Miko Kusanagi first arrived on the Atlantis base, she was one of three Japanese expedition members, one of twenty-five female expedition members, and assuredly the only transgender computer scientist from Tsukigata.

Ever since Teyla was a girl, the fifth day of the month of Estiren has been a time of sorrow, meditation and contemplation. Then, three years ago, 5th Estiren became … something else.

John is dealing with the fallout from the disastrous mission in “38 Minutes” in his own way – which is to say, not very well.

Once upon a time, aliens made them put on a play. g

Teyla has some ‘McKay’ issues…

After everything he’s ever known has been destroyed, Ronon stumbles into the magic-thick forests of Atlantis. When he accidentally frees two strangers from a cruel trap, he realizes old enemies still spin their wicked plans. An enchanted prince, a cursed city: Ronon’s fight has just begun.

When autumn came and her people were still missing, Teyla planned to go back to New Athos alone. But her team wouldn’t let her. Late season four, after “Trio” but before “Kindred”.

“You think you’ve seen everything in Pegasus,” John said musingly. “And then you realize there are untold depths of weirdness still to be explored.” An episode tag for 5x03, “Broken Ties”, that … grew.

In her dream, each was vulnerable, baring the nape of his neck to whomever might look. It was this at which Teyla marveled. Standing at the edge of an unfamiliar dreamscape, she looked upon her team curled waiting, poised in what seemed like sleep. That they were naked did not shock her. She had seen their bodies – filthy, bleeding, sweating, vivid – too many times to count.

A terrible jumper crash on a desolate world with no stargate leaves the team at the mercy of their rescuers.
