Summary: Missing scene for Outcast



Ronon watched Sheppard standing over the casket for a minute before turning away. A man needed a little space at times like this. He pretended not to notice Sheppard’s brother approaching him until they were standing side by side.

“So,” Dave said, brushing his hand across the back of his neck in a way that was familiar to Ronon. “Where are you from?”

Ronon shrugged, knowing the gesture tended to discourage conversation.

Dave crossed his arms, looked out toward the pasture fence and made a little huffing noise. “How long have you been sleeping with my brother?”

Earth people were so strange. They had all sorts of elaborate rules for eating and dressing and other unimportant matters, but they could be incredibly rude when it came to things best kept private. “I’m not sleeping with Sheppard.”

Dave repeated the little huff. “We all know about John,” he said. “ He’s always…been that way.”

“Sheppard’s a good man,” Ronon said. “I’m not sleeping with him.” He glared at Dave, who took a step back.

“Okay, sorry,” he said. “I get it, it’s none of my business.” He pointed toward the food tables. “Why don’t you help yourself to the buffet?”



As Ronon filled his plate he thought about what Dave had said. McKay was going to be very happy to hear this little bit of information.

Lovely missing scene!

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[hestia-lacey.livejournal.com]

Lovely indeed. Thank you :)

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reading. Your icon is sweet.

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Ooh, excellent! Thanks for this sorely-needed missing scene.

(I remember reading a clever fans pre-view of Outcast which went along the lines of, "So John is coming all the way to this funeral with this gorgeous, hunky guy but won't tell anyone how exactly he's connected to him beyond some vague hints he works with him. Yeahhh."

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. It does seem a bit far fetched.

[wanted-a-pony.livejournal.com]

I stick to my story: John's on an extreme exercise kick. Ronon's his personal trainer. Who travels with him everywhere 'cause, like, John's really into exercise. Several times daily. Yeah.

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

It's important for John's mental state to stay fit.

[wanted-a-pony.livejournal.com]

Yes. He's in a stressful responsible position & needs help taking care of himself. Exercise increases endorphin levels & it's a great way to relieve stress. John always does what the doctor recommends....

My husband, who is not remotely slashy, watched the scene where John introduces Ronon to his brother and said (in a weird falsetto meant to be John), "He's a civilian contractor. He contracts me hard every night." It was just that kind of a moment.

[sasha-feather.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you.

[eleveninches.livejournal.com]

This totally happened.

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Heehee. I think so.

[love-jackianto.livejournal.com]

Great scene, this is definitely going to become part of my personal canon.

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I so wish this happened.

[lilac-way.livejournal.com]

Sweet! I love that Ronon got to intimidate Dave!

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Everyone should get a chance to intimidate Dave. Wait until Rodney gets a turn.

[toranoko.livejournal.com]

Bwahaa. <3 Ronon. We needed that scene.

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Hee. This is probably as long as I can maintain Ronon's POV.

[psyko-kittie.livejournal.com]

*g* Great!

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[foxsyd.livejournal.com]

LOL. Good I like a good missing scene with dialogue!

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Thanks for commenting. Glad you liked it.

Oh yes :)

And loved this:
They had all sorts of elaborate rules for eating and dressing and other unimportant matters, but they could be incredibly rude when it came to things best kept private.

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Ronon's outsider views of earth amuse me immensely.

[thrace-adams.livejournal.com]

Definitely happy to heart that little bit of information :) NIcely done!

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Yes, Rodney needs to know. Thanks!

[phantmchic.livejournal.com]

Now I really want the scene where Ronon gives Rodney that info. How about it?

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

It's been on my mind, but I'm trying not to get distracted from my other (almost finished) stories. I wish someone else would write it.

[khyrra.livejournal.com]

Awesome. I have decided that it happened exactly this way!

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Hee. I so wish it had.

A Little Bit of Information - story

[maxinemayer.livejournal.com]

Yet again, a wonderful episode missing scene! Dave should know better than to push Ronon! Dave has a closed mind. No matter what Ronon says, Dave will think what he thinks! What an idiot!

I, too, believe this happened!

I also think it would fit right in at sga_episodefic if you feel like posting it there!

Thank you for sharing.
Love, max

Re: A Little Bit of Information - story

[keefaq.livejournal.com]

Dave is such a great character to dislike. He's mean to John!

To tell you the truth I feel a little weird posting my own stuff to episodefic, it seems kind of arrogant, though I did finally get up the nerve to put "Responsible" up.

Re: A Little Bit of Information - story

[maxinemayer.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you posted "Responsible" at episodefic! That's such a marvelous story.

As far as "arrogant" to post your own stuff - well, I don't care *how* stories come to my attention, as long as I get to read good stories! I'm sure that almost every story that goes to the communities (rather than just being posted in people's own journals) is posted by the person who wrote it. That's just the way it's done, as you've no doubt figured out by now!

The fun comes "down the road" when you get more fabulous feedback and even find out that somebody is reccing your story! Big grin!

Have a great day!
Love, max
