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 don't think John is Slytherin, he isn't nearly ambitious enough. Instead his foolhardiness puts him straight to the Gryffindor camp. But Rodney is such a Ravenclaw it isn't even funny :-)

Nah, if Rodney was a Ravenclaw it would all still be theory. It takes a Gryffindor to go out and blow up solar systems *g*

[mitzi007.livejournal.com]

No way, he blew up that solar system because he falsely thought his supreme intelligence and knowledge could handle it. It had nothing to do with being brave :-)

I rather like the idea of John in Slytherin, as sulky and solitary teenager who only cares about his broom. *g*

But also, I don't think he'd fit in Gryffindor, not sociable enough, and I don't think he values courage above everything else. Then again, when you consider what John does value *tries to imagine him in Hufflepuff yellow*

OMG, you are right! When you think about it John is obviously a Hufflepuff.

Actually it could work. He would be this cool, popular and a bit unconventional teacher who would also be a Hufflepuff. Nobody would see it coming. And if Slytherins and Gryffindors are enemies, do you think there is also animosity between Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws? He would be at odds with Ravenclaw Rodney from the start.

Badger pride!
