Sidebar to The Daedelus Variations

[wickedwords]

This is something that has been nagging at me since I saw the episode. It's kinda fiction, but not a complete story, and certainly not edited or beta-read. More a set-up for a thought.


Teyla, Ronon, John and Rodney came back from a mission to MX7-319 one day and found they couldn't stand being more than a few feet from each other; Rodney wouldn't leave his prescription mattress, so Ronon dragged his bed into the room, then dragged a mattress for Teyla and one for John.

The sex thing came later. But regular sex seemed to increase the amount of distance they could be from each other, so they all made sure to fuck around with their team members a lot. Carson kept saying that it would wear off, but wasn't very specific about what 'it' was; by the time the old priest from MX7-319 found them and explained about the great gift their soul bound had brought them, it was a little too late. The relationship was permanent, and the four were pretty okay with that.

So when they ended up on the Daedelus, and realized that they weren't going anywhere, the slight downer to the whole 'soul-bonded' thing came back to bite them: they'd all go together when the time came.

Teyla said she could feel it as the clock ran down, and it wasn't long before the others thought they could feel it too. So they found a big enough spot in for them all to sprawl out, yet still be together and waited as the ship powered down; they didn't have long to wait.

::sniff::
that's just exactly how it went for the alter!Team. ::nods::

I had to figure out some way to pull out a good ending for them. I hate it when TPTB kill off any incarnation of the team.

Thanks! The downside of soulbonding is the only reason I could think of for the alterna!team to be together like that.

never to be parted again... ::sniff::

Yes, the idea of them dying one by one and the survivor laying them all out, until they themselves died--gave me chills. At least this way, they are all together when they die. As well as being in love.

damn, you made me tear up again! ='{

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Oh, oh. But. Yeah.

Exactly! What do you do with something like the image they gave us of alterna!team? This was the closest I could come to lemonade.
