slashing_lorneFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Title: Psalms 23
Characters/pairing: team
Prompt: Oct 22 - First recorded solar eclipse in the history of the world (China 2136BC): write a drabble/ficlet about Lorne and his lover getting caught in a power failure on Atlantis. Single word prompt: dark
Word Count: 272
Rating: Teen, for language
Summary: too short for one...and you'll have to use slash goggles on this one....
Author's Notes: this might be continued…..I think I like this little planet in the corner of the galaxy…
The mission briefing had covered the facts - PXE-923 was cold and dark.
The planet was situated in a long orbit around a dim sun with enough subterranean thermal activity to keep half of the surface just above perpetual deep freeze. The briefing hadn’t conveyed the creepy, bad-horror-movie feeling that settled in on him the minute he stepped through the event horizon. The gate had been fortuitously located at the planet’s equator where the temperature - at least at high noon - ran a balmy 37°.
Sheppard exhaled slowly, his breath frosty in the chill of the air, squinting into the monochromatic gloom as the rest of his and Major Lorne’s team emerged on the platform behind him.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley…” he muttered quietly to no one in particular.
Ronon looked first at Sheppard and then at the expanse of trees in front of them with the flat, disinterested stare Lorne was sure he’d patented. The one he used when someone from the Expedition made a reference that made no sense to anyone from the Pegasus Galaxy.
“It’s a quote from the Bible,” Lorne explained even though Ronon hadn’t asked.
Ronon turned the look on him.
“It’s from a religious book back on Earth. The whole saying goes, ‘yea, though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil.”
“Why not?” Ronon asked flatly, his tone matching his earlier stare.
Lorne gave up on the explanation and clapped Ronon on the shoulder, hard. Grinning, he gave Ronon the standard military answer.
“Cause I’m the baddest motherfucker here!”
Ronon grinned. That, he understood.
