Spot-on canon Teyla voice

[michelel72.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for fics that capture Teyla's canon voice (manner of speaking, vocabulary) perfectly. (For example, in my writing I tend to lean on the "few/no contractions" convention, but that does not alone define Teyla's canon voice.) Any pairing/grouping fine, and gen adored; please just indicate pairings/groupings/gen and whether the fic is explicit. Many thanks.

I'm not sure about accuracy of 'voice' as it were, but these are amongst my favorite portrayals of Teyla...

"Four Ways They Care" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3515646/1/Four_Ways_they_Care) by Stealth Dragon (kriadydragon) (Gen, OT4 Team/Friendship/Family)

"Midwinter Burning" (http://rhymer23.livejournal.com/25888.html) by Eildon Rhymer (rhymer23) (Gen, OT4 Team/Friendship/Family)

"Heart and Soul" (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/257616.html) by mad_maudlin (Gen, Rodney/Teyla friendship)

Clarke (and corollaries thereof)" (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/469549.html) by Sophonisba (saphanibaal) (Gen, Forming of Family Group/House -- also I think there are more to this series, but I don't have links, sorry.)

I have a bunch of Teyla recs tagged here (http://astridv.livejournal.com/tag/fic_recs:teyla_emmagan). In general, friendshipper and tipper_green give great Teyla.

I thought Teyla's voice was really good in Out in the Open (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/176381.html) by xparrot

ltlj/Martha Wilson/Victoria Custer also often gives good Teyla, try Opening the Door to Strangers (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/strangers.htm)

Cool. Thanks.

Excellent — two favorites and two from my 'to be read' folder! I'll check them out. Thanks!

[michelel72.livejournal.com]

Perfect. Thank you!

...I was perusing the offerings at SGA Reverse Bang (http://sgareversebang.dreamwidth.org/tag/2010), saw Art: "Grand Theft Lizard" / Fic: "Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace" (http://sgareversebang.dreamwidth.org/9218.html) by friendshipper & hollow_echos, respectively, and thought of your request here. It's Gen!Fic, Teyla-oriented, but lightly flavored with her interactions with her team-members on an off-world mission.
