Ronon as a professor on Sateda

One of the stories I've wanted for a really long time came out of a conversation with a friend of mine. We were talking about characterization, and she said Ronon was easy, that all he had to do was eat and fight. And I think that's wrong on so many levels, but it is often convenient shorthand to write Ronon as the big dumb thug or the caveman. Give him dreadlocks and we know who you're talking about.

I've read something like my bunny, I think, recently, or maybe someone was talking about it. At any rate, it's pretty far down my list, which seems to be growing exponentially, so I am hoping someone will adopt the bunny and write it for me, because there needs to be much more awesome Ronon fic in the world (cue pointing at [livejournal.com profile] satedan_grabass, the Ronon/John fest going on).

I have always wanted the fic where Ronon was an intellectual on Sateda before going into the service. Maybe that's why he went, he's a master tactician. Maybe they all joined at the end, knowing the Wraith were planning on culling them to extinction. At any rate, I was going to basically make this all come out around Rodney presenting a paper, where Ronon is in the audience and reminisces about teaching classes, or his students, or the subject matter, or extra-curricular activities, I don't know. Maybe all of it. And all I've got so far is a single introductory paragraph that doesn't do anything at all, but feel free to adopt the bunny, the words, or both as it suits you.

They take turns going with Rodney to present his papers. Ronon goes to the really big gatherings; Teyla goes to the government ones. Sheppard only goes to the ones he can't slither out of.
