This was all with the twisty-chest in the best ways. Him missing Atlantis, and resenting Sheppard because he's actually not fucking up, and missing Teyla, and looking through the Prague phone book all ring so true. And this:
He didn’t have a problem with Teyla, never had. He just had a problem with the fact that she could channel a Wraith consciousness, and no one else had thought it was an issue.
Because, hello, YES! I adore Teyla, but the fact is that he had every reason to be concerned. He didn't necessarily express it very well, but he was trying to do his job, and it wasn't fair of John to be so hard on him for it.
I've wondered why he never went back--was it that he didn't feel comfortable, or that the SGC didn't want him there? Sadly, I know that the real answer is that they probably couldn't get him back after the hiatus, but fic like this makes me feel better about that.
