It's a metaphor for sex.

[minxy]

I really love moments of intimacy that take you by surprise, that have trust and silent communication and meaning. There was this one Pegasus B fic with Rodney and Daniel dancing, that's it, all they were doing, and it was so, so sexy. Respectable by troyswann

I just read a similar moment, a bit angstier, though, by stillane (on sdraevn's rec); Revelations, which involves John cutting his hair and shaving his beard, among other things (post Epiphany). John/Rodney.

Now, obviously I like this stuff, because I've used these kind of silent connection metaphors myself (the one with Sam and makeup and the OC? Anyone?), but I also just really like quiet moments that are unhurried and not necessarily out to accomplish anything, like when Jack just looks at Daniel's hands, and maybe kisses them, or just messes with all the nerve endings there, running fingers over the palm or nipping at the pads of a finger gently just to feel sharp teeth on fingerprints...

Se-xy. Feel free to leave me comment fic with the quiet moment sexy, or a link to another fic with a like moment.

Because as someone who probably deserves more credit from me said, if two people are on stage singing to each other, they're falling in love; If they're dancing together, they're making love. Metaphor! It's not just an old fashioned idea! Smack me over the head with a metaphor.

Note to self: ponder later if this is a knee jerk reaction to the p0rn battle.

ETA: this is only slightly off-topic, but surrealphantast has written a beautiful Sam fic Buffalo in which there is engineering and Sam and a road trip by herself.

Yeah there's a few days left. Crap. That means I have to get off my butt and see if there are any more I'd like to nominate.
