*Giggles madly*

I love this one! I can see Rodney making a mini trebuchet. I can see John playing with it and I can REALLY see Teyla taking oh-so-appropriate revenge while Ronon watches and laughs.

Great job, Val!!!!

The 'thwump' always makes me snicker because I can visualize their twin looks of horrir every time. :-D Thanks!

OMG! John at the SCA! How perfect!

(I've been in the SCA for over 20 years)

We've enjoyed attending the Sterling Faire for years and after seeing John in Epiphany, I think he'd fit right in. :-D Thanks!

Hahaha, wonderful. I read the first part a few times and had a 'WTF?' moment, but by the time I got down to the first picture, I realized what happened.
"...sleek golden curves never meant to be sullied by ersatz foodstuffs." Haha. I read it again just to get the full effect.
I like how retribution was swift and unmerciless. :D
