OMG. ME TOO. *adores her* She might be my favorite fanon.
"I can't open up to you that much while still having to stay in control."
*LOVES YOU SO MUCH* Yes. YES. Now THAT'S a reason to not have a relationship. My shipper-heart doesn't like it, of course, but that's ok because it is the best argument against Sheppard/Weir that I've seen yet.
I KNOW!! *wails and gnashes teeth* This threw me for quite a while after I thought of it. But it's true! Eeep. I'm not quite sure how to get around it, either. Because in so many fics we have Elizabeth being weepygirl and cuddling up to him for strength and needing him... and, well, she should be allowed to do that if it's a RELATIONSHIP and she's so strong everywhere else. But ultimately his first responsibility is to Atlantis, and we know he's of the type to undercut any authority pretty fast if he thinks he can do better. So what if there's some emergency situation, and he thinks she can't handle it because of the way she's been behaving with him in confidence?
*meeps*
their first time was drunk and sloppy and nervous and left him totally terrified that she would never, ever let him anywhere near her naked again
HA! Oh, please tell me you have a fic showing this... along with the much, much better second time. Please.
What I have realized = bad sex? is hard to write. Well, hard to write in a way that remains engaging and readable, anyway. But I like that idea a lot, if only because it knocks them both (especially Shep, yay) down a peg from the SEX GOD roles we like to place them in :-D
I love the issues you raised in this little ficlet, even with all the fluffy-Disney-cuteness. Very insightful look at how John might view a relationship with Weir, like by being never quite sure that she really could love want him as much as he wants her, among other things.
Aww, I know! *snuggles him* I think he'd be waiting for the other shoe to drop for a long time. And... I kind of like the idea that he'd be intentionally sabotaging the relationship in order to prove to himself that he's right, that it won't last, that he really *shouldn't* get too deeply invested or fall for her too hard (yeah, right). Fortunately, I think Elizabeth will figure out what he's doing pretty fast.
And the telepath fic!! I am *so glad* you liked it! This is one of the ones I go back and forth on *so much*, because I love the premise but wasn't quite sure that it was executed well enough. That it might have been way too chaotic to actually read through! Eeeee! :)
