SGA Saturday

I'm not sure if I caught everything, so let me know if you've been trying to post your story but LJ has made it impossible and I will update the round up. 

Great bunch of stories though!  I'm surprised and pleased that 'bow' prompted such an interesting set of contemplative tales.

Tied With a Bow by stella_pegasi  (Gen): John Sheppard confronts his memories, which are tied with a faded bow.
In Memory by esteefee (Gen, Team): Pegasus makes for some different traditions. Some aren't even unpleasant.
Whispers in the Dark by squidgiepdx and elderwitty (Gen): This is something a little different from us. 
Jerusalem by starry_diadem  (John/Rodney): Scars, and reflections. Oh, and koala bears.
This Truth by scarlettandblue (John/Rodney): The Marquis De Sade once said "One must do violence to the object of one’s desire; when it surrenders, the pleasure is greater."

Week 10 prompt coming up....

ETA: scarlettandblue's story.

Hello lovelies!  I'm opening Week 9 a tad early today, but don't worry, the closing rules will apply same as always next week.  This week we are focused on the word "bow."

Is it John awkwardly bowing to elders in a getting-to-know-you ceremony, or is it Rodney watching too much of Season 6 Dr. Who and deciding bow ties are cool?  Or maybe it's nautical terms applied to Atlantis or the puddlejumpers, or an AU where it's just straight up nautical-amazingness (bow of the ship, etc).  Maybe there are violinists or violists or or or! 

What's your bow story?
