Why this must be read: The one where Colonel Shepard hates to debrief Dr Way to find out why three fourths of Major Bryar's team is in the infirmary.
I can't believe that this hasn't been recced before. It's a well-deserved classic in the fandom and the absolutely best sort of complete crack. It's hilariously funny and reading it never fails to put me in a good mood.
Excerpt from the story:
John holds up a hand. "Right. So you went into the cave to look at the cave paintings."
"Carvings," Way corrects petulantly. "They were carvings."
"Carvings."
Carvings, paintings, John doesn't really care if Dr. Way was studying Wraith sidewalk chalk, he just wants to know how three of his men--well, two and a half, because Dr. Iero is pretty small--ended up in the infirmary with what Dr. Keller referred to as "an inexplicable occurrence of tentacles." The way she'd said it makes John wonder if there are, in fact, explicable occurrences of tentacles nobody on Atlantis has told him about.
"What did you find inside the cave?" John asks.
"Well," Dr. Way begins thoughtfully.
John winces; he can't help himself. Debriefing Major Bryar's team with three-fourths of the team missing always takes, paradoxically, about four times longer than it should, because Dr. Way can ramble for hours about the nesting patterns of vampire bats before admitting that no, actually, the vampire bats did not affect the mission in any way, he just thought they were pretty cool. (The older Dr. Way, that is. John has never heard the younger Dr. Way say more than ten words at a time, especially not since he's been banned from gate travel for earning the dubious distinction of being the first person on the expedition to blow up a defunct Ancient outpost in what all present swear was nothing more than an unfortunate toaster accident.)
"I mean," John says before Way can get going, "what did you find inside the cave that made three-fourths of your team spontaneously grow tentacles?"
"Um." Dr. Way shifts his weight. "I don't... I'm not really sure how that happened."
