Awwww, this is such a wonderful "5 times" fic! I love how each scene shows some facet of the growing friendship & trust & intimacy between Lorne & Parrish. (And the one-glance conversation between Lorne & Sheppard was brilliant: mashed potatoes FTW, every time! Even McKay might agree. ;-) Ve-r-r-ry nice final scene too--hot & squishy-romantic, my favorite combination! Thanks very much for writing & sharing.
I know some folks are squicked by AMTDI (or, in this case, Alien Roots Made Them Do It). But I think you introduced the idea of their mutual desire in the "stinging nettles" part, & Parrish doesn't seem to be coerced by anything stronger than peer pressure when he eats the Yoni root. To me it doesn't feel any more non-consensual than two people who are attracted to each other getting teased by co-workers & having drinks together, then having sex later. Everyone has a different take on these things tho'....
Also, if you wonder about these things, I'm here by way of a rec at stargateficrec.
