i. Have just watched Bones. it was good. She stole his fries, so it must be love. :) Is there any fic about this? Brennan/Boothe, that is.

ii. Am entertaining self by imagining various AU scenarios for SGA. So far, I've got...

Academics in the Field of English (which, to be honest, would probably not amuse anyone but me, but then again it's amusing me a lot *g*)
Rodney is a brilliant linguist, is very hard to work with and but is great for RAE because he's developed a whole new theory of language and has loads of publications. The students hate him because he keeps saying things like "What do you mean you can't learn 21 different languages, are you retarded or something?". John, on the other hand, is from the field of literary studies (the soft sciences *g*), and is a Romanticist, specialising in the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley. Rodney keeps making jokes about drowning and free love, and John responds by quoting horrific gothic romances. (Oh and Elizabeth is Head of School, and a post-colonialist. Teyla is a visiting scholar, specialising in her dying, tiny language and Ronon does physical theatre. Cadman, of course, does post-feminist theory. *g*) Smut ensues.

Hogwarts Teachers
Rodney (Ravenclaw) teaches Transfiguration after McGonagall and speaks loudly about the Gryffindor bias in the school and how nobody ever learns anything. John (Slytherin) comes to teach DADA. Nobody trusts him because he's the first Slytherin to hold a post since Snape. Except Rodney, of course, who only cares about whether the Quidditch practice John teaches in his spare time bothers his classes. Since, for some reason, they always seem to take place just outside Professor McKay's classroom. There might be housepoints for how many funny faces you can make while hanging upside down from your broom and giving Rodney palpitations. Smut ensues.

Yes, my mind is a sick, sick place, why do you ask?

I could weep with happiness whenever I see Sheppard pegged as a Slytherin. On the other hand, I can only see Rodney as a Gryffindor.

I swear there is no AU too cracked out to work in SGA.

See, I have this theory that Hogwarts' houses are based on what the person values most rather than what qualities they possess (which would explain why Hermione is in Gryffindor rather than in Ravenclaw despite being more intelligent than anyone else). So, yes, this would put Rodney in Ravenclaw, because despite being brave, he values that considerable less than his own formidable intellect.

And Slytherin is the house for people who don't fit in anywhere else and look dark. So, John Sheppard. Although now I'm getting tempted to put him in Hufflepuff. All that loyalty...*g*

I think it's a bit of both, and the expectations the person has... but I see Sheppard as the most dangerous type of Slytherin - a Slytherin who is a team player. It's just that *he* decides who the team is *g*
