SGA Santa reveal plus my story

The master list has been posted for sga_santa.
My lovely story was written by tropes & I'm rec'ing it again - it's so good!
I still have lots of the Santa fics to read & leave comments for. Yay it's the Christmas gift that keeps on giving. :-)

As for my contribution - well, anyone spotting a planetary reference to BUD 247 will probably have guessed that I wrote...

Make a wish

Pairing: pining!John/oblivious!Rodney

Taster:

“I dunno,” John said warily. Rodney was right - this really didn’t look like any sensor display he’d ever seen. “Maybe this is the Ancient version of some new age meditation tank and ‘far reaching visualisation’ is really some ‘imagine-you’re-a-leaf-know-the-inner-you’ tree-hugging crap.”

“Really?” Rodney shuddered, circling around the console with his scanner. “I’m so hoping for sensors.”

“I’m with you there, buddy,” John sighed.

“It seems to be dead,” Rodney said, tapping at the handheld. “See if you can initialise it while I monitor any output.”

“This thing is safe, right?”

“Absolutely! Well, as far as I can tell,” Rodney qualified and John rolled his eyes. “Look - I’m not picking up anything on the scans and the database didn’t indicate it was dangerous.”

“Well, that’s reassuring,” John muttered and stepped onto the platform. “But if I suddenly develop a thing for tofu and tie-dye, then I’ll know who to blame, McKay.”

“Yes, yes. Threat duly noted.” Rodney waved carelessly, not looking up from his scanner. “Anytime today, thank you, Colonel.”

“I’m just sayin’,” John groused and cautiously placed both hands on the globe, thinking ‘On’ and ‘Please don’t kill me or, you know, make me meditate’.

Heh, evil cliffhanger taster. *g*
