Oh, yay! I'm excited for that for sure! ♥!

SGA, Teyla/Ronon, scars/tattoos, (618 words)

[medie]

Theirs is a story told in scars.

If asked, Teyla would tell the tales of her people. Sing the songs, repeat the rites, and paint pictures in the air with the gestures of hand and body. If asked, Ronon wouldn't answer at all, but remember the archives and computers buried deep beneath Satedan ground. There still, if one knew where to look and had the codes for entrance. Records and histories both, painstakingly preserved in their way, but not theirs.

Not in ways which matter. They are stories and histories carried in thought and memory. In careful repetition and lessons learned. Not in the beat of a heart, or the rasp of breath through throat and lung, and not in the touch of fingers on skin.

The stories marked in blood and ink.

Ronon catches Teyla about the waist. His arm pulls her even as his body twists, bringing her up and over his hip with the speed of the motion. Her hair whirls about them, falling loose from its binding, and the scent she favors fills the air.

He tries to savor it, to remember that morning, her body slick and wet against his while his hands had worked it through her hair. She doesn't give him a chance. She moves in a way he can't describe, slipping free of his hold.

Her bare feet strike the mat with a slap and she dances away. He recognizes, in the steps, the story told of a harvest centuries ago. The Wraith had attacked, their weapons fire setting the forests around carefully hidden Athosian fields to burn, and a generation of elders had died to save them.

Ronon has learned the dances of the Athosians, watched each and every one she's performed, seen the ways of war buried in the stories of old. It's no help as she pivots away, changing the step, and the sticks in her hands make contact with his body.

Stinging blows that send him forward, stumbling despite reflex, and she laughs. It's soft, caught in the back of her throat, but he hears it nonetheless.

Ronon knows the attack is coming. Can feel the whistle of weapon through air long before Teyla actually moves. Seconds pass, stretching out, and he turns to block it. She isn't there.

He catches a flicker of motion, fabric and flesh, and he's falling.

"Nice," he says, breath gusting out of him with the impact. He reaches for her again. This time, when his hands touch her, she doesn't break the hold. She settles onto him in one graceful motion, knees pressed into the mat on either side, watching with a little smile.

Ronon ignores the scrutiny in favor of some of his own. With gentle fingers, he follows the lines of her body. Teyla's scars are difficult to see. Athosian ointments and creams liberally applied have blended and smoothed them into the skin. It's a victory, he knows, that has nothing to do with shame. The Wraith may not mark her any more than Teyla will permit.

He finds one, a long curved mark at the line of her top, and his touch lingers. Ronon can feel the catch of her breath, watches her chest rise and fall, and then lifts his eyes to hers.

Teyla's little smile grows and she reaches, with two fingers, to trace the tattoo marking his arm. Beneath it, hidden by ink, there is a faint hint of scarred flesh. He remembers seeing the jagged wood stained with blood, as he'd fallen back through the window, but forgetting the wound under the fury of Wraith fire.

He watches her fingers. His own find her laces, working them loose, tugging and pulling. In moments, her clothing will be scattered about them, his to follow moments after that.

Alone, in the press of skin, their story's told.

Oh my gosh this is breathtaking. Seriously, beautiful work. This entire thing is so wonderfully poetic. I don't know what to say.

I loved this line so much:
The Wraith may not mark her any more than Teyla will permit.

God, that is 100% Teyla.

You've captured them both so well!

*claps*

Thank you! Thank you!

So much emotion in this too. It really is lovely :)
