Stuck In Complicated Simplicity (or a Closet, Whichever Comes First)
by Ana Lyssie Cotton
Closets. Dr. Elizabeth Weir had once been entirely certain that she'd gotten over amorous encounters in closets. At about the age of 16, when it stopped being amusing. Until now. Because what Major John Sheppard could do to a woman in six seconds in a closet? Should be outlawed by the Geneva convention. His lips were sliding along her throat and she knew that in a moment one hand would have slid under her shirt to trace her skin gently.
"John."
"Shh." The breath slid over her damp skin and she shivered. "You're interrupting."
"Jo--Oh." Surprise attack. The hand had changed direction (mind of its own, apparently) and slid down the front of her pants. Her back arched and her legs shifted without requiring prior acknowledgment from her brain. "John." She managed. Not that she wanted him to stop. But. There was a briefing. Or something. The details were becoming hazy, and his hair felt really nice as she ran her fingers through it.
But he seemed to understand that she was asking him to stop (even if it was only half-hearted), and so he pulled back. "Yes?"
It was on the tip of her tongue to tell him to not stop. But there were responsibilities. "As much as I'm enjoying this," She paused and gasped as the hand down her pants gently rubbed its fingers just. So. "There are--things."
"Mmm. Things?"
The fingers twitched again. "John--Major Sheppard."
A slight sigh and then he pulled his hand out. "All right, Dr. Weir. Time to be official." He carefully licked his fingers, then dried them on the edge of his shirt.
"Yeah." She considered telling him how mussed his hair was. But it looked damn cute on him. "We should... Go."
"Go. You first."
"Fine."
They stood there in the closet, neither moving. Elizabeth tried to make herself taller, so as to loom. She knew that looming was a good intimidation tactic. So did Sheppard, probably. He didn't look fazed at all. He merely stared at her, the mocking laughter slowly leaving his eyes until he looked almost serious. "What?"
"We're... this is... a thing. Isn't it."
"A thing?" He raised both eyebrows.
"Yeah." Oooh, feeling articulate today she wasn't.
He wrinkled his brow, and carefully said, "So... we have... a thing."
"Yes." She felt obscurely relieved that this was now out in the open. Not that she felt any further inclination to talk about it. Or even acknowledge that she had.
Major John Sheppard was a contrary man. And she knew this. "So, what you're saying, Dr. Elizabeth Weir, is that we're in a relationship."
"No--" She closed her mouth. That had so come out wrong.
"So, it's just... friends with benefits, then."
That wasn't what she meant. Because that sounded pathetic and stupid and something only irritating people who didn't have their crap together would do. Oh. "No."
Sheppard crossed his arms and leaned against the wall with the nonchalance of a man who is willing to wait a hundred years for the answer to his question. "Then what are we in?"
"A thing." Elizabeth replied.
"You said that."
So she had. Damn. This was pathetic. Straightening her back, she attempted to look more threatening. "This is ridiculous."
"Yes." A smirk touched his lips. "Don't we have a briefing to go to?"
She glared at him. "Major--"
"It's all right, Lizzie."
"Don't call me that."
He raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"
"I don't like it."
"Uh-huh." He opened the door and stepped out into the corridor. "Come on, Dr. Elizabeth Jane Weir. We have a briefing to run."
How the hell did he know her middle name? She was so not telling him that his hair was still a mess. See if everyone took HIM seriously with that rat's nest. "After you, Major."
"Oh, I don't know," He leaned in, lips touching her cheek and whispered, "I prefer it if you come first."
That. Bastard. She had no time to hit him, kick him, or verbally slay him. There was a meeting to run, and people counting on her. But afterwards--and ignoring whatever the hell this thing was--she was SO making him keep that promise. Out of the closet.

I heart you so much that I forgive your random use of a character's middle name :-D
(we all have our pet peeves to bear -- I did stop combining Sheppard and Weir's names! I did!!)
THIS IS SO FREAKING CUTE! I like tongue-tied Lizzie. And John is good with his hands. And they're in a closet!!! You WIN. You so win.

And. Yay. ;)

Not that I'm going to laugh in someone's face if they propose to me with my full and legal name since hopefully I'll be all Swept Off My Feet at the time... but I'll probably look at them funny about it later ;)
May the middle name thing be my biggest problem with any fanfic in the next little while. *sends out prayer to internet universe*
Still love this!

Erm. Anyway.
Now that I know what you were bothered by...
Two things were in my thought processes at the time.
1. She was being formal, and he was mocking her completely by calling her that. (and if I knew what her other titles might possibly be, he'd've thrown those in).
2. He's read her file and actually knows her middle name. Which could also include angst about Narim.
Erm. Anyway. I doubt he'll ever use it again.
*g*

Gad, no. I would just get my legal first name and a raised eyebrow rather than whatever random family nickname I was being called that week. I really thought that only happened on TV, but Tammy informed me last night that I'm a freak who comes from Canada and apparently middle names are actually used here for things besides legal documentation. Oops.

2. He's read her file and actually knows her middle name. Which could also include angst about Narim.
These are all good reasons. It makes total sense to use it here. And he's not using it for extra shmoopiness, which is really when it gets me (it's the "I love you Samantha Marie Carter-O'Neill" that makes me want to hit stuff)...
I read it again and like it here. So this is clearly a moment of me going "ACK! Fanficpeeve!" and freaking out for no reason because it was late at night and I was cranky ;) Sorry.
*muchlove* and thanks for the explanation :)

And if I ever DO the "Samantha Marie Carter, I love you madly will you marry me?" line... Shoot me. Kill me. Make me dead. Because. Dude. Ick.

"Jack?"
"Mmm?"
*prod*
*one eye opens*
"How long have we been doing this?"
"D'no." *eye closes*
"Longer than three years?"
"...maybe."
"Heh." *smug look*
"..why?"
"Because Daniel pointed something out to me a while back."
"Oh?"
"We're married."
"I think I missed the ceremony."
"Both of us did."
*eyes open* "Explain, Carter."
"Common law dictates, Jack."
"In English, Carter."
"I can't quote it, but, something about number of years spent together equals common law marriage. In some states."
"Some. States?"
"Colorado is one of them."
"Really."
"Yep."
"So... C'mere, Mrs. O'Neill."
"I think I like Mr. Carter better."
"That's your dad."
"No, he's General Carter."
"How come I don't get to be General Carter?"
"You're General O'Neill."
"Carter?"
"Yes?"
"Shut up and kiss me."
"Yes, sir."
