okay, I just looked through the Holiday tag and the Alien Customs tag and didn't quite find what I am looking for. So, three things I'm looking for:

1) Holiday fic where someone tries to get any of the Pegasus natives to celebrate the holiday with them and the Pegasus native has problems with it because it's not their holiday and/or something about the holiday is contrary to their beliefs/or is distasteful to them and they just don't want to go.

2) Fics featuring Athosian or Satedan holidays. Maybe it's celebrating the Rings of the Ancestors, maybe its the equivalent of a rain dance, maybe its the equivalent of Rememberance/Veterans day and they're remembering the culled, maybe it's a unique Pegasus holiday, whatever it is, I'd like to see it, even if (or maybe especially if) it's just Ronon messing with their minds and inventing Satedan Knife Throwing Day and they buy it/pretend to buy it and celebrate with him.

3) Holiday fic where Rodney or John or Radek or whomever doesn't want to celebrate the holiday for whatever reason and their wish to do something else instead is honoured. Like maybe instead of John insisting throughout the fic that Rodney should celebrate X holiday with everyone or bug him until he explains why he doesn't want to be at the party - he goes, "okay, so you don't want to go to the party, how about we go race cars instead?" Or whatever.

Any pairing is okay, just make sure you note which pairing (if any) happens to be in the story.

Flight Plans

This is going to be a bit of a 3-Parter on a theme. 

1) Flying Lessons -- I'd like to read some stories about flying lessons, whether in a puddlejumper, F-302, a chopper of some kind, whatever plane, glider, hot air balloon, or even the Daedalus.  If someone's learning to fly (or teaching someone to fly), I'd love to read it -- even if they're fics about taking some kind of qualification testing for flight, which would include sims, etc.  [Click this link to see which stories I've read on this theme.]

2) Getting John (or Lorne, or O'Neill, or Mitchell - the last two to be included as long as they're in Pegasus Galaxy - or other 'Zoomies') In The Air --  Basically, I'm looking for stories where they have their first flight in Pegasus Galaxy by means of aircraft / spacecraft.  First flights can include:  first flight ever in whichever aircraft (puddlejumper, newly made aircraft, newly arrived aircraft, F-302, Daedalus, other alien-crafted aircraft, native-to-Pegasus aircraft), first flight after a long-time grounded due to health issues or bureaucracy.  Alternatively, I'd be happy to read some stories on flying as a means to relax from times of stress.  Basically, I'm looking for gratuitous flying fics.... :)

3) Flying Earth-side -- Can be complete AU's or just Earth-side from leave, vacation, family emergency, retirement.  Preferably John, but if any of the other flyboys are available & it fits into the SGA fandom by way of crossover, that's fine, too. 

All gen, het, and slash pairings are welcome.  Please label where applicable.


Thanks in advance!
