Cute.

Thanks for the fish slap. That is a fish, isn't it?

Anything trumps Lucius.

I read that as "thumps." Wishful thinking I guess.

[Sparky She-Demon]

Would you be willing to read a Sparky family story SR?

[Southern Red]

Would you be willing to read a Sparky family story SR?

Sure, do you know of a good one?

[Sparky She-Demon]

Sure, do you know of a good one?

Yes, yes I do. Why don't you go to the second link under my sig? That's a good one, or so I'm told....

[Southern Red]

Yes, yes I do. Why don't you go to the second link under my sig? That's a good one, or so I'm told....

Oh, you told us about that when you first came on here and I read it. It's always good to see new people writing Sparky stories.

[Sparky She-Demon]

Whoops. I forget sometimes. But I've added to it since I first came onto Gateworld!

[gateraid]

Where is that bit of fluff from?

Canada, I think. I was always surprised she didn't break out an 'aboot'

[Pearl of Atlantis76]

Pearl, I am having a great day! Got a pretty good haul, and I don't think its done yet!

Wow, that sure seems you had a great time, great! That's the way to go, girl!

Don't I know it. I've been toying with it off and on for what seems like years.

Does that mean we will still have to wait for how many years now... 2, 3 years? Maybe we will be able to read it then when... 2013, 2014

Just checked IMDB.com, Brent Stait played Michael in that episode.

Thanks for the info!

Welcome to the thread, MentallyUnstableFox! I only started watching SGA last year, too, but I had actually never really paid attention to the relationship between John and Elizabeth before I found this thread... then I started noticing the chemistry they had together. This thread is definitely one of the best discoveries I have ever made!

I only begun paying attention to them, noticing the chemistry between them, after seeing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXJmeVhdNcg

My First John/Elizabeth story

Dreaming Awake

Spoiler:

He knew he was dreaming the instant she stepped out from the swirling fog surrounding him. Just seeing her again, even in his memories or dreams, was enough to cause his heart to skip a beat. Seeing that familiar smile on her face was like a kick to the teeth.

"Elizabeth,” he almost whispered, and he belatedly realized that although he was wearing his gear, he was standing without any weapons.

He watched her carefully as she continued slowly towards him, and he knew then, that this was not a dream.

Elizabeth glided over to him, all feminine curves and grace walking on two legs towards him. The closer she got to him, the more he noticed the differences in her appearance; her hair was a stunning shade of brown and her green eyes virtually glowed, smiling in sheer happiness at obviously seeing him again. Her hair, once cut to around her ears, grew in long tendrils down her back, curling at the tips around her waist in to small spirals. The clothes she wore were different as well, the replicator body-suit replaced by a light white flowing gown that both hugged her curves and floated around her body like the mist that surrounded them both. The neckline plunged modestly down between her breasts, giving John a tantalizing hint of the curves he had known many women to envy.

She was no longer that, a human-replicator hybrid, but was a flesh and blood human.

It was then that he noticed the thin gold chain that dangled down from around her neck, swinging in time to her steps. The pendant that hung from the end of it was gold in color, and shaped like an arrow with a ridged line cutting it in half. One side of the pendant was gold, and the other... it was difficult to describe. Color flashed through it with each of her steps, at once refracting the light, and then seeming to suck it in.

An eternity and yet a second seemed to have passed since John had caught sight of his lost commanding officer, but before he realized it, she was standing in front of him again, watching in stunned silence as she stood in front of him, her eyes glowing with her happiness.

"Hello John," she said finally, her voice the same as he remembered it. She looked up at him, sensing his confusion. "Cat got your tongue?" she asked cheekily, grinning then.

Feeling like he had taken a wraith stunner blast to his chest, John took a deep breath, fighting the urge to scoop her up into his arms and never let her go. "How...?" was all he could ask, feeling his fingers itching to make sure that this was real.

Rolling her eyes, Elizabeth shrugged, the smile gone from her face and replaced with the sadness he had seen when... "Honestly, I don't know. But there are some things that I do know but can't tell you yet."

That got his attention. "Can't, or won't?"

She turned to look back at him, her white teeth worrying her bottom lip. "Can't. I'm not allowed to." She whispered, looking anywhere but his eyes.

“Lizabeth," he said, the warning in his voice. He took a small step forward, one of his hands moving of their own accord and picking up her tiny hand in his. "You've been dead for five years, but you're standing here in front of me." He let her interpret what he wanted to hear, for once in his life, the words just dying to literally spew forth in a word vomit for her to clean up. He was never a man of words; that was where Elizabeth had come in. She always knew the words to say and when to say them, whereas he took his orders and followed them through.

There was only once that he had failed that mission objective.

Elizabeth shook her head, finally looking up at him. Tears dance in her eyes, but almost instinctively he knew that they were happy tears. They swelled up and slipped down her cheeks, and he couldn't help himself as his hands dropped her own and cupped her face, using his thumbs to gently wipe the tears away. Never before had he been as gentle with anything in his life, and the feeling was almost like ecstasy. He watched as she closed her eyes and turned her face in to his hands, her pink lips brushing gently against the pads of his thumb.

The breath that he hadn't known he was holding, escaped from his lungs, and his heart thundered in his chest. An emotion that he couldn't name swelled at her actions, and with a shock, he realized that it was only whenever Elizabeth was near that he felt it.

"I'm sorry, John," came her whisper against his hands, and he stared at her, deep green meeting glowing green.

"What do you mean?" he answered, his deep voice uncharacteristically more quiet than usual.

She closed her eyes then, a quiet sigh leaving her lips. "For leaving you alone," came her answer, opening her eyes to gauge his reaction.

Several seconds passed as they stared at one another, and when John moved, even he was shocked at his actions. He gently pulled Elizabeth closer to him, his large hands sliding down her face to wrap themselves around her body. He lowered his face to nuzzle against her neck, feeling her stiffen up at first before almost melting into his embrace. He felt her own arms wrapping around him, her tiny hands cradling the back of his head as her face rubbed against short hair.

They were silent, content to just hold one another. For how long they stood there, John had no idea, but it was Elizabeth who spoke first, her soft voice tickling his ear. "I'm sorry I can't answer your questions, John, but know this," she said, shifting and pulling away slighting so that she could see his face again. She moved her hands to cradle his face, her eyes glowing again with an emotion that, while John couldn't name, caused his entire being to flame and feel light. "We will see each other again."

She said it with such conviction that John actually believed her. He tightened his hold on her waist, feeling the beginnings of a smile on his face as he stared down at her. It felt amazing to hold her, the feel of her tiny body light and soft as opposed to his large and steel-hard being. "When?" he asked, searching her face.

"Soon," she answered, suddenly turning her head away, her green eyes going distant. A frown grew on her face which was quickly replaced by that same sad smile he had seen her wear when she had said goodbye before...

"Elizabeth?"

She turned back to him, tears once again building in her eyes. "I'm sorry John," she whispered, letting go of his face and slowly pushing herself away, "I have to go."

An irrational thought streaked through his brain, and he had to fight with himself to hold on to her with all his might and never, ever let her go. Instead, he let his hands slide off of her waist, his fingers itching to grab her again. He clenched them hard, just in-case they decided to go against his will. "Where are you going?" he asked, almost desperate to keep her here – wherever here was – for just a little while longer.
Elizabeth stopped walking backwards and stood in her signature pose that brought a rush of memories to John. She smirked at him, her hair swinging behind her. "Back home," she grinned, "But don't worry, John we'll see each other soon enough."

A spike of unadulterated happiness that he hadn't felt in a long time, shot through John, and a grin to rival Elizabeth's spread on his face. "Is that so?" he asked, watching as Elizabeth's entire countenance seemed to change. Gone was the cocky smile on her face and with it was replaced by awe.

Seeming to shake herself, Elizabeth gave him a small, almost bashful smile in return. She took a deep breath and straightened herself out, her eyes glowing with yet another emotion that he couldn't name. "Yes it is," she smirked, falling easily into their old routine, "The Ancients said so." She grinned, watching as John seemed to falter before her.

"The Ancients?" he asked, knowing he shouldn't really be shocked, but he was.

Elizabeth nodded her head, her smirk gentling into a genuine smile. "Oh, and John?"

The Colonel in question looked up at her, a frown having replaced the smile. "Yes, Elizabeth?"

"You should smile more often." She replied.

They stared at one another for several more seconds before his reply came in the form of smile which was still on his face when he woke up in his quarters on Atlantis.

Oh, my gosh! This story was so touching!!! I loved it so much that i had to red it twice!!! And it also made me almost cry! This is one of the ways i imagine things would happen if Elizabeth were to return to visit John, i loved it really very much!! And that line "You should smile more often!" Wow, i loved it!! And Elizabeth saying sorry for letting him alone, my gosh, very well done, congratulations, love it, love it, love it!!! Thank you for writing such a lovely story.
