Remix Madness: Forty Years and Eight Pounds (The Skin Hunger Variations) - Sheppard, gen, asexuality

Maybe it was Mother's Day, maybe it wasn't interesting - but yesterday I posted my secret Remix pinch hit, Soft Swap (Sink Your Fangs Into It Remix) -- House/Wilson/McKay/Sheppard, with vampires -- and a little commentary.

Now to claim my Remix Madness fic:

Title: Forty Years and Eight Pounds (The Skin Hunger Variations)
Fandom: SGA
Characters: John, with John/Teyla friendship, Ronon, Rodney, Torren, Lorne, Patrick Sheppard, Dave Sheppard, Nancy Sheppard
Rating: PG-13 for themes and a couple of swears
Word Count: 2,419
Summary: John finds what he's been waiting for when Teyla places it on his chest, warm and heavy and smelling of milk. Or: Six people John never told, and four he didn't need to tell.
Contains: Oblique reference to the death of a parent. Brief, non-explicit torture scene stolen from that Firefly episode. Brief homophobic language. Spoilers for "Doppelganger" and "Search and Rescue."
A/N: Remix Madness fic based on perspi's wonderful Unconditional Touch, in which John is asexual and touch-starved. If you like this, please comment on her story. Everything here grew out of what she wrote. ETA: Ack, I cannot believe I neglected to thank synn for beta/audiencing. Thank you!
