So much to love about this story! First:

John desperately thought of the Antarctic ice, of tedious meetings about annual crop yields, of Hermiod. Nothing worked.

I love that he tries to think of Hermiod to stifle his, er, *excitement*.

Second:

Aliens had made them do it - he just hadn't expected it to be the aliens on his own damn team.

Totally brill! With all the "aliens made them do it" fics, it seems so *obvious* that someone would write Ronon and Teyla as said "aliens". LOVE IT.

And Alien Twister! And Zelenka telling Teyla and Ronon about April Fools' Day! Yep, all manner of awesome! :-D Thanks for sharing, secret santa!
