Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Teyla
Title: Five Men Teyla Emmagan Was Never Attracted To

Characters: Teyla, Sheppard, McKay, Ford, Bates, Beckett
Prompt: 11 - Character Study
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Atlantis is a city of pretty people. A small, tightly knit group of less than 100 lived and worked together, surviving the first season. Under those conditions, it's no wonder that Teyla's thoughts stray to the men around her at times.
Teyla was used to sublimating her passions. As leader of her people, she was often required to keep a cool head in hot situations. As a leader, she tried to avoid playing favorites, and as a woman she kept any liaisons she chose to engage in straightforward and simple. She would undoubtedly take a mate one day, but it was not her priority. Survival was.
"Ow!"
Teyla pulls back as Major Sheppard cradles his fingers near his mouth, shaking and blowing them like a child who has snatched a too-hot treat. She can't help smiling.
"Are you all right?"
"Yeah, yeah," he says, dropping into a graceful crouch to retrieve his training sticks. "Don't worry about little old me."
She raises an eyebrow at his bluster, but resumes the fighting stance.

Title: The Naked Plant
Author: Courser (shutthef_up)
Characters: Second season team: Sheppard, Ronon, Teyla, McKay, brief appearance of Elizabeth
Prompt: 12 - Humor
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Time for Team Fiction again! This is a very silly story, about the team being sent to a nudist planet -- and I ask you, why are there not more nudist planets? -- which exposes some, uhm, interesting cultural differences.
Riiiiight.
“Teyla, do you know anything about this place?” Elizabeth asked the Athosian woman.
“I have heard of it, but have never been there myself. It is my understanding that they are a bit… unconventional, socially,” Teyla said.
“Unconventional how?” Weir asked.
“They do not wear clothing and demand that any visitors to their planet also be likewise unadorned. Our contact with them has been infrequent as a result,” Teyla explained.
“Okay, so they’re naked. I think we can deal with that,” John said quickly.
“I do not think you understand, Major. They demand that all visitors to their planet, especially those hoping to become trading partners, to be naked also.”
“Oh.” John said.
Elizabeth simply looked mildly amused.
