You've reached John. Uh, John Sheppard. Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard really. I should get back to you soon, but if I don't - don't take offense, okay?

I'm a busy man. *beep*

Okay, I finally decided to just make a future dated post so ya'll can know what the hell is going on with John and in what verse. I'll link to it in his profile and everything.

( ... )

As a note, all interactions in sixwordstories will be part of the Citrus-free verse unless otherwise indicated.

John sat on the balcony for a long time alone, staring at his beer more than sipping on it. He had told Rodney to meet him when he could take a break from the labs, so he wasn't expecting him just yet. He had come out here to think, but now that he was here.. his mind was empty. Pepper had seemed upset about the ring.. but otherwise excited for him. Rachel had just seemed worried. And no one else knew. Not yet, anyway. And he found himself caught between wanting more time and wanting Rodney there, right then.

John appeared in the doorway of the labs, as he had done on many a momentous and not so momentous occasion. He was carrying three meticulously inspected chicken (for citrus) MREs and was prepared to wait as long as it took for Rodney to notice him....after he cleared his throat.

Okay, here's the deal. If you want a poem give me something; a prompt, a character, a pairing or otherwise. If I feel inspired, you get a poem. Doesn't have to be fandom oriented but these are the characters available:

colonelinblack Lt. Col. John Sheppard
cantbewithhim Ennis del Mar

smellsofpeaches Det. Juliet O'Hara
putitonthelist Det. Adrian Monk

kendel_atlarge Katrina Kendel
def_rock Stephen A. "Duffy" Durfey

If you want another, give it a shot. I might be feeling generous :)

'Meet me' scrawled on the back.

I know you probably didn't notice. But I have my charger back and will be up for more RPage (probably). Drop me a line if I've lost a thread.
