Can I have 🔥🔥 for the Tidd an Hermiod (b)romance? I bet sparks are flying. 😉
Ah yes! Todd and Hermiod...two of my favorite assholes getting together. I would've loved to see them interact in the show with their outward biases and secret admiration (which they both showed to Rodney. They really love him though.)
I thought it would be fun if I used the plot of the romcom, "How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days" (2003), for them and needed a pretext to get them together (like rescuing McShep).
Having Ronon and Teyla also being divided in their ideas of how to handle things would give the two conflicting goals that would actually come in useful in the end since turns out Todd and Hermiod share a love language of sarcastic bickering and easily foster sexual tension between each other the more they disagree.
It's gonna be a fun ride and the first several chapter are already up. Here's a quick snippet of them in action:
Hermiod barely looked up from the console, “Oh crap! Another scientist to babysit. How amusing.”
Todd sputtered, “I assure you, I am quite adept at this technology. Been using it for thousands of years.”
Ronon and Teyla came in and observed the exchange, raising an eyebrow to each other.
“Using a technology and understanding the latest systems are two different things entirely. Let me assure you, Wraith…get in my way and prevent me from rescuing McKay, someone who actually has relevant experience on this ship and you will regret it.
“I hope that is quite clear. If not, I will attempt to use smaller words…”
“Todd, I think it’s time you went to your quarters,” Ronon interrupted before things got ugly.
Todd raised an eyebrow towards Hermiod in amusement, “Yes, I suppose it is. If you will excuse me, Asgard, I shall return and trust you will be in a more cordial mood to receive my services.”
“Doubtful,” Hermiod muttered as Todd strode away, quite taken by the alien’s audacity.
