Here's the next little bit of Almost There:

Spoiler:

John was hurrying up the ramp into the gateroom when it hit him. He had just almost kissed Teyla. They had almost kissed. Like, actually kissed.

Holy. Crap.

That was so not good. In so many ways. In so many friendship-ending, humiliation-ensuing, ruining-the-team-dynamic-and-potentially-putting-the-entire-city-in-danger ways. Jeez, what if they actually had kissed?

John had a sudden memory of soft lips yielding under his as he pushed his body up against hers, but he quickly pushed that from his mind. No. No, his first instinct was right. This wasn’t a good thing. It didn’t matter that it would feel oh so…

Shut UP John!!

The real question was, what should he do now? Should he go and talk to her, and apologise? He wasn’t too fond of that idea… the last time he’d had to apologise for something like this had been excruciating, plus he was absolutely positive that this one wasn’t actually his fault per se. She had definitely been leaning in as well…

So, the answer was clear to John – act like it had never happened.

This was clearly the correct course of action, because it was the exact same one as Teyla chose. Not a single glance or word they exchanged was out of place, and John was very, very relieved. Relieved.

Okay, so not entirely relieved. I mean, was she not at all affected by what had almost happened? Was she not at all shaken? Or worried? She was just being so normal.

After three days of completely unnerving normality, John began to believe that he had imagined the whole encounter.

They had a pretty standard recon mission on the Friday afternoon which, unusually for them, had been just that. Standard. Uneventful. As had become their ritual, the team were unwinding together over some junk food and light conversation. Since Tagan had been born, these wind-downs usually happened in Teyla’s quarters, sitting on and beside her couch set, talking quietly while Tagan slept in his crib in the opposite corner.

Since there wasn’t much winding down to actually do, it didn’t go on too long, and was less raucous than usual. Rodney left first, John and Ronon soon after. Ronon said good night and left, but John had been in the middle of a explanation of the rules of cricket to Teyla and so he dawdled. They stood facing each other in her doorway, talking in hushed tones.

“So, yeah, that’s basically it – if it hits the rope it’s a four, if it goes straight over it’s a six…”

“But I heard her say ‘out for a duck’,” replied Teyla. “What does that mean?”

John blinked at her. “Erm… well that’s when… I have no idea…” John admitted. “It’s a stupid game anyway.”

Teyla quirked an eyebrow at him. “I believe Lieutenant Villiers would take great offence to such a remark,” she said.

“I think I could take her,” said John.

Teyla smiled. “I would not be so sure,” she said. “She has been training with me since she arrived, and is a very quick study.”

John was silent for a moment, thinking over this news. Then he shrugged. “Oh well, she wouldn’t attack a superior officer,” he said, grinning.

“Lucky for you,” said Teyla.

“Hey!” Hissed John. He grinned wider and Teyla grinned back at him. John’s only thought as he started to lean forward was that he could have gladly stood there and looked at her grinning at him for hours.

That was the moment Tagan decided to wake up.

John immediately stood up straight again, and Teyla quickly took a step back from him, blinking rapidly. She looked up at John for a moment, her eyes wide, and her cheeks a little flushed. She quickly stepped round him and hurried over to Tagan’s crib.

John swallowed. “Er… good night then,” he said.

Teyla reached one hand into the crib and looked round at John. She gave him a small smile. “Good night, John,” she said.

John got out of there. Very quickly. He walked quickly down the corridor and round the corner to his own quarters, swiped his hand over the control crystal and stepped through the open doors. They closed behind him, and John locked them.

Then, and only then, did he allow himself to start hyperventilating.

John’s jaw dropped and his eyes widened, and he sucked in a ragged breath. He ran his hands through his hair and span on the spot, staring blankly around his room.

Again. It had happened AGAIN! One time could be passed off as a moment that meant nothing… twice though, well, that meant something, right? Right?

No… no no no. This was stupid. All it meant was that John had been standing there next to Teyla and they’d been alone and she’s a beautiful woman and he’s only human…

The fact that it had happened only three days ago was irrelevant. Irrelevant.

Two almost-kisses were nothing. John wouldn’t worry until there were at least three near misses. Nodding, John dropped his hands and started to get ready for bed.

Number three happened the very next day.

Hello everyone! I wish I could say I could stay and chat, but I have a ton of homework. I'm in the home stretch here at school. If you go to my lj I have a long list of my assignments.

Hey padme...I know how frustrating it can be. Hang in there hun.

Hey Linda Perhaps this will cheer you up i know its off TOPic

Spoiler:

the new Xfiles Film has Finally got a Title http://www.xfilesnews.com/index.php?...=283&Itemid=32

Sweet!!!

awww,that was really great......Now tell me,after reading that how can anyone not like her.....She is the sweetest nicest person!

Believe me when I say I'm clueless to why there's so much dislike of her character. Esp. since Teyla is just as cool as Rachel.

I thank you all for the nice welcome. It's fun to be here.
It's great that there are so many other sheyla-shippers out there.
I cannot understand why, but in the most german forums there are only a few J/T-shippers and it's like we have to be afraid to admit that we like J/T as a pairing.
Thanks for all your help with my fanfiction-problem. your recommendations were really helpfull. when i have finished my stories i can try to translate and then post them.

Wow...that's just sad!

I already posted this in the galleria.

Awesome

Thanks for the link, she's such a lovely person and I noticed that

Spoiler:

she mentions filming a sparring session with Ronon (Jason Momoa) which is great but what I really want is a Teyla/John sparring session, as they are always so full of unresolved sexual tension!

Oh and Welcome to Sheyla4ever!

High five for that C4

You can blame MrsB for this...

JM BLOG UPDATE

Spoiler:

Cazz writes: “I just read on Gateworld that the IOA removes Carter because she’s military. This doesn’t make any sense. Why would she have gotten the job in the first place if the IOA doesn’t want the military leading the expedition. Rob Picardo says he doesn’t know why Woolsey is even on Atlantis yet either. Is that right? You guys are filming episode eight and haven’t even explained the change in command?”

Answer: You’re misunderstanding what was said in the interview. “At this point in the season the actor says Woolsey’s reason for taking the job has yet to be established.” This is true in that we have yet to reveal Woolsey’s personal reasons for accepting the command position. On the other hand, the reasoning behind the IOA’s decision to replace Carter is discussed in episode 2, The Seed.

PG15 writes: “Any word on where Inquisition is going to fall on the airing schedule? Is it episode 512?”

Answer: That remains to be seen.

Chevron 7 writes: “Alan’s “extreme Shep whump” episode - if it’s not too much of a spoiler is it more physical, mental or both?”

Answer: If we move ahead with the idea, it will be both.

Dovil also writes: “2. Women in the horror genre are generally portrayed as the victims – there are exceptions to this but that’s the thing with exceptions, they’re not the norm. Hell, if it wasn’t so prevalent in popular culture papers in Media Studies departments would have to be cancelled and even Academics have to buy groceries and get whisked off overseas to conferences. As long as one of the women isn’t a virgin, sleeps with Sheppard, and walks off by herself after hearing some suspicious noises, hopefully she shouldn’t get hacked to death with a carving knife/chainsaw/really sharp paper. Paper cuts, a gruesome way to go.”

Answer: True. I promise: no knife-wielding maniacs, no stupid victims, no running around screaming (unless it’s Sheppard).
Dovil also writes: “3. See, red shirts, every genre has its thing.”

Answer: Yep. I’ll admit that one of the reasons I wanted this team of potentially recurring characters for this episode is that the audience won’t know what to expect. They can be pretty certain that Sheppard and Beckett may survive the experience but as for any of other four… In this particular case, the fact that they’re female is less important than the fact that, as guest cast, there’s no telling who will make it out alive.

Dovil also writes: 4. They may be actors but actors should still look the part of what they play. The male scientists aren’t 25 year old part-time underwear models because it would stretch belief. All I think we have here is a difference of opinion on what may be believable in this instance.”

Answer: True, but how often do we see Dr. Lee heading off-world on a regular basis? All of the Atlantis off-world teams face potential hazards every time they head off-world, and they need to be prepared, both mentally and physically, to deal with any and all threats. They should be fit, yes. Do they need to be great looking? No, of course not. But then again, if you were to check out the personal websites of the various actors who have appeared as members of Major Lorne’s team in the past, I’m sure you’d find more than a few 25 year old underwear models in the bunch.

crazy mom writes: “What’s Kate Hewlett doing over there these days?”

Answer: Shooting her scenes for The Shrine. And almost running me down in one of those motorized golf carts.

"8:00 a.m. stunts and SPFX meeting this morning with Bam Bam, Wray, and Scott during which we discussed candy glass, ratchets, and squibs. We’ve also finally set a time for our second fog test = 6:00 a.m. on Friday! The whole thing will take about three hours after which we should have a pretty good idea of how much actual fog we’ll need to make the scenes work. As John Smith pointed out, it can go one of two ways. The fog could prove a frustrating complication and slow us down, or it could prove incredibly forgiving and allow us to breeze through the shots."
