Charlie Blue - Oh, yeah, I noticed that about him, too. His body fits him and everything seems so perfectly proportioned. And his body fits his face. I like how he's also got a little bit of muscle, but a little bit of roundness to his stomach, too. LOL, the leather pondering chapter was one of my first, to be honest, and I just chose chapters randomly to post, so it waited until this long to be posted.

Yeah, Ronon's too muscled, and Rodney and Evan are both stockier. They all look great, but I prefer John's long, lean look.

Sparklyshimmer2010 - I was about to ask, is that a bad thing? LOL. Well, I just went for whatever muse hit me as I wrote each chapter. Well, I wanted to be honest to how someone would feel in real life, but also didn't want to put her at odds with Teyla. I wanted to show she'd feel jealousy, but it wouldn't affect how she was around the others.And, LOL, as if she'd tell John "Oh, I'm not up to much. Just thinking how hot you'd look in leather. ...Did I just say that out loud?"

Oh, I'm not sure, I'm just saying if Sheppard's Team has leather, the others probably do, too. Otherwise, it seems to me they'd be showing favoritism over just John's team, which could cause problems on Atlantis. ;) LOL

PhysicsGeek - Well, John can be just as hot in nothing but boxers, too. (eyes the picture) Wow! LOL, Glad you like it. :)

Here's another chapter, and a list of the complete chapters left, so far...

Hair, Kind, Legs, Lazy, Theories, Timing, and Voice.

Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you all for sticking with me. :)

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

John is many things on Atlantis. Resident C.O., other than me, of course, the Kirk of Atlantis, and everyone's hero.

It goes with his bad luck and good timing. He's always the person you can count on to save you. I think probably half of our people in Atlantis has been saved by him, at least once, by now.

Maybe that's part of the reason he's always so popular. Handsome, smart, sarcastic but kind, depending on who you are, quirky, and, uh…Kirky.

Grinning to myself as I finished the last curl in my hair, I checked my knee length red dress. "I wonder who he'll be hitting on tonight." Pausing at that thought, I tried to ignore the stab of worry and pain. "Hm, I'd better get going."

Again I paused, but this time it was at the sight of a golden pendant hanging on the edge of my mirror. That had come from one of the planets we allied to. There was this whole fighting for the honor of the woman, thing, that went on there. Despite my being the base commander, I was still a woman, and as soon as they'd seen me, they locked me up.

Apparently, I was seen as an 'unbonded' woman and they'd planned to marry me off. Luckily, John had come to my rescue, fighting some pretty weird ritual battles for me, and pulling through victorious.

He'd saved me.

My hero. I thought, as I picked up the necklace. It was technically a sign of being bonded, on that world. Like a wedding ring. Still, I slipped it on. I don't know why, but wearing it, I felt… It was strange. It was comfortable. And if John ever asked, I could always say I didn't recall.

Heading out, I stopped and slipped on my red high heels before checking the necklace, which was hanging just about half an inch from the top of my dress.

We were having a small party. We'd chased the replicators from Atlantis, and everyone was glad to be home again.

Everyone was pretty much already there. The halls were dark and only a skeleton crew was working. I knew Rodney would be there with Katie Brown, Teyla with Ronon, and I think Carson had invited Laura Cadman. I had no idea if John would be there, but I guessed he would. He really wasn't the type to miss out on a party.

Taking the transporter to the hall leading to the control room, I stopped by to see if everything was alright.

"Wow, you look great." Chuck's eyes were wide. "Uh, ma'am."

Smiling I nodded before looking at the screen in front of him. "No sign of any more replicator ships, or other uninvited guests?"

He shook his head. "No, ma'am."

With another nod, I patted his shoulder before turning and walking off. I made my way down the stairs, and was almost at the bottom when my heel must have caught on something. With a yelp, I felt my leg slide out from under me, and I toppled over forward.

Suddenly, two arms surrounded me, and I felt myself landing against a warm, solid surface.

I'm not sure what happened. I guess my heel of my shoe caught on a crack in the floor and I fell. All I knew was that the embrace I was being held in, was a warm, safe one, and I really didn't want to move.

"Elizabeth? Wow. Uh, are-are you ok?"

Blinking for a moment, I felt my face heat up as I quickly pulled away and straightened myself out. "John! Hi."

He smiled, wearing a black t-shirt with black jeans. "Hey, that was quite the fall."

My blush intensified and I glared half heartedly at him. "We can't always…" Shaking my head, I sighed. "John, why are you here?" When he raised his eyebrows, I felt my eyes widen a moment before I masked my look. "Actually, I meant, why aren't you at the party?"

He shrugged. "I was looking for you. I wanted to make sure you weren't over working yourself again." Opening his mouth, he paused and frowned before leaning closer. "Hey, isn't that….?" Reaching out, he picked up the necklace and smiled a little. "Elizabeth?"

I was wondering when my face would actually explode. I'd swear I was blushing harder than ever. "Oh! Is that…?" I tried to think up an excuse, my mind having gone offline. Looking around quickly, I caught sign of a glint around John's neck and found my eyes widening. "Hey!" I reached out and pulled the necklace out of his shirt, watching as he winced and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Yeah." He cleared his throat. "Uh…" Pulling the necklace away, he smiled a little before tucking it back under his shirt. "Well, how about we go to the party?" He held out his arm.

Grinning a little, I took my own necklace back and accepted his arm. "Sure." I bit my lip as we walked around. "My hero." I muttered, grinning as he gave me a weird look and smirked.
