Stargate graduation party! \o/ (gen version)

I took my last final today - only fifteen years after I started, I have a bachelor's degree! \o/

So I'm celebrating with an SGA/Stargateverse commentfic party!

I wanted to take advantage of Dreamwidth's longer comment counts, but most of my SGA flist is mainly on LJ. What to dooooo. So I'm doing this: I'm making two posts, one on LJ and one on Dreamwidth. This is the gen party. The DW one is going to be "anything goes" - any pairing (including gen too), any rating. I think my DW reading list leans a lot more heavily in the non-gen direction than the LJ one, so it should work out fine. You are perfectly welcome to participate in both places; if you don't have a DW account, I have invite codes and will hand them out happily, and you can also use your LJ username to log in via Open ID. (I'll link to that other post as soon as I make it.) The DW "anything goes" party is here!

How to play: Post prompts! Answer other prompts!

Your prompt should be a character(s) (including "any") and any kind of prompt: a situation, song lyric, word, picture, sketch, etc. You don't have to answer prompts to leave them, but please leave one prompt per comment; responses to a prompt should be done by replying to the comment.

I want non-writers to be able to play too, so it's fine to answer a prompt with fanart (or a vid, cross-stitch, whatever) rather than a commentfic. You can also post a conversation starter instead (Top five favorite episodes? What does John's black wristband mean?) or a picspam, although to keep the comments from getting bogged down, if you're going to post more than one picture per comment, please post it at your journal and link to it! Also, if your fic gets long, it's fine to post it at your journal and link (though you don't have to).

Any Gateverse prompt is welcome, though since it's mostly SGA people around here, those are probably the ones with the greatest chance of being answered! Please don't attack characters or ships in discussions - tell us how much you love X, not why Y is teh suck. Questions are also welcome if you're totally confused, which is a definite possibility.

Commentfic! Art! Discussion! PARTY!

.... aaaand GO!

<3 I am always so happy to see your name pop up at the top of my LJ friend list because it usually means interesting and fun fan discussions and activities. :D

I just set up my Dreamwidth account and will be post on your DW entry under the name ElegantPi. I think that's going to be my permanent fandom pseudonym.

Whoot, congrats on your degree! That was fast!

Prompts... can I do more than one in one comment?

1. Todd and Ronon, saving the day.

2. Rodney and Hermiod, fixing stuff. While working together. Not quite the beginning of a wonderful friendship.

3. Teyla and Rodney, and this scene (http://pics.livejournal.com/astridv/pic/000xpq8r) (recycling an old prompt...:)

The first time Woolsey sees the Stargate, he feels an irrational urge to jump up and down and squeal like a thirteen year old. He represses himself, naturally. But that night when he's lying awake in bed and the moon has washed the edges of his furniture with silver, he remembers watching Neil Armstrong take his first step on the lunar surface on the Parkinson's television. He remembers the way his chest hurt from holding his breath. He remembers nicking his father's telescope and staring at the moon that night for hours, hoping to catch a glimpse of something that didn't belong. He remembers carefully folding the legs of his glasses under the lenses and clutching them in his hand before putting them in their case. Such an inconsequential thing, his vision--it had never stood in Woolsey's way before, never kept him from anything he'd ever wanted. Until then.

Woolsey finally falls asleep. He dreams of stars and tight spaces and cold blackness, and the next morning, before he steps into a ring of light that will transport him across the galaxy, he straightens his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He's ready.

Congrats! :D That is totally awesome.

Sheppard as a bad a** body guard, either with magic or he's part demon a la Black Butler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Butler).

"Hailing frequencies open," Teyla says.

"This Captain John Sheppard of the Starship Atlantis." Captain Sheppard sprawls in the command chair, somehow making his posture look both non-threatening and slightly obscene. Teyla fears she will never even begin to understand human body language, particularly if she chooses Captain Sheppard as a subject of scrutiny. "We are peaceful explorers who'd like the chance to share knowledge with your people."

On the screen, a tall man with tattoos on his throat inclines his head. "I am Kel, Emperor of Sateda. Welcome to our world."

Teyla does not allow her concentration to drift as the captain makes arrangements with the Emperor to visit the planet even though by now she can recite nearly verbatim a dozen permutations of this conversation. She is selected for the away team--probability 87.4%--and relinquishes her station to Lt. Uhura. Nyota allows their hands to touch briefly at the controls, an impish grin barely contained, and Teyla feels a flicker of emotion that she ruthlessly represses. Nyota looks up at her like she knows anyway, her eyes soft and full of what Teyla has learned to call friendship, camaraderie, even love.
