'til the sun comes out again

And after the storm

The people on Atlantis were insane. The new ones, anyway. The ones who'd lived there for the first year, they just kept on with their business, but Ronon could always tell the new ones, because whenever a big thunderstorm blew up, the new ones stopped what they were doing and rushed to the windows and balconies, made awed sounds at the thunder and the lightning that seemed to dance endlessly across the ocean.

When Ronon was a runner, a storm could mean death - slipping on muddy ground and being unable to run, getting damp and cold and sick. When he gated to a planet and saw clouds gathering, he ran.

But on some planets, the clouds didn't gather, or if they did, they gathered too fast. One moment the sky was blue, the next it was pouring rain. Sometimes the sky was blue and it was still pouring rain.

Once Ronon had been caught in a sudden downpour, found himself slipping in the mud, on his knees, and when he'd looked up, there it had been. The Wraith. Ready to finally end him.

Turned out, a Wraith could drown in mud same as a human.

But lightning flash and thunder rolled and rain poured down from the skin, washing down the windows, and Ronon had to turn away, keep moving.

"I don't like it either," Rodney said. Only he was standing there, looking out the window.

"Don't like what?" Ronon asked.

"The storm."

"Why not?"

"I used to like them - electricity in the sky, the majesty of nature, so long as I wasn't out in it. But now I hear the storm and I -" Rodney curled his hand around his right bicep, the gesture almost unconscious.

"You what?" Ronon asked.

"Kolya's slicing up my arm and demanding to know where the C4 and jumpers are, wanting to know about Atlantis's shielding tech and the lightning rods and -"

"The Genii invasion last year."

"Yeah. John killed sixty Genii and I folded like a little girl as soon as Kolya put a knife to me."

Ronon turned to face Rodney. "You mean he tortured you."

"Something like that." Rodney's mouth was pulled into a tight frown.

Exactly like that, Ronon thought. He nudged Rodney gently. "Lorne says I can have anything I want from the kitchens. They don't have any windows. Want some hot cocoa?"

Rodney looked surprised. "We have hot cocoa? Since when?"

"Lorne saved some just for me, I think, so I could try it, because I've never had it, but - I'll share."

And then Rodney smiled, and it was like the sun coming out from behind a cloud. Ronon looked at Rodney, and he forgot the rain.

"Thanks," Rodney said. "You'll really enjoy hot cocoa, assuming Lorne got the quality stuff. Which he usually does, for a military man. Come on. I'll show you how it's made."

And he took off for the nearest transporter.

Ronon followed and promised himself he'd never let anyone take a knife to Rodney again.

From:

I ship everyone with everyone, the end. I love love. Love is great.

This is very good. I love Ronon's protective streak. Ugh. And Rodney being like HOT COCOA HELL YEAH SON.

Darn storms. Darn Genii. Anyway you da bomb and thanks for the fill.

Aw, thanks! I like Ronon's protective streak too, so much.

Rodney in my headcanon is kind of singleminded about chocolate.

You are so welcome!

Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams,
I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you

But I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you

(I took a punt on a ship based on your icon!)

It's the rain that wakes her at first, Monica thinks, steady sheets of water against the roof, against the window panes, the forecast storm appearing as promised, if not a good deal worse. Which is unpleasant, but the bed is warm and Chandler's chest is pressed up against her back, his arm tight around her waist so she closes her eyes again and settles herself against him, fully intent on going back to sleep.

Which is when a wail from down the hall has her sitting up in bed.

She's on her feet in a second, Chandler following right after her, which once upon a time would have impressed her. Except now, they're well versed in this little song and dance, know how important it is to get to Erica before she wakes her brother because if they're both awake -

A second wail splits the night, stops her train of thought dead in its tracks. Behind her, Chandler mutters a word that would make her threaten to wash his mouth out with soap if he said it around the children and the only reason she doesn't make that threat now is because she's just said the exact same word.

They both quicken their pace and when they arrive in the nursery, they each go to a different crib. Chandler scoops up Erica, who is so totally a Daddy's girl it's not even funny, and Monica does likewise with Jack, rubs his back and coos into his ear while her eyes meet Chandler's across the room. "Team work," he says, like he's done so many times over the past fourteen months and Monica smiles, feels herself relaxing.

Until the room is illuminated by lightning, until Jack jumps in her arms and Erica shrieks in Chandler's. The rumble of thunder far in the distance doesn't help matters either and Monica shakes her head. "It's going to be a long night." Chandler opens his mouth and she knows what he's going to suggest. "No."

"Just this once." He runs his hand over the back of Erica's head, a soothing motion that misses the mark by a mile. "Look, they're scared, it's their first thunderstorm... once won't give them bad habits." Monica lifts an eyebrow and he sighs. "And if they do, I promise to do the heavy lifting breaking them of it."

Not that Monica would ever let him know, but she can't deny him anything when he looks at her like that.

Which is how she comes to be snug in her bed, all the way over at one edge, Chandler all the way over on the other, their twins lying between them. Rain still beats down on the windowpane, but the twins are asleep and Chandler refrains from saying, "I told you so." Instead he reaches across, resting his hand on her hip and lets his thumb sweep a gentle pattern up and down. "I love you, Monica,” he says instead and Monica smiles.

"I love you too, Chandler."
