Advent Atlantis: Countdown to Season 4

I previously posted this bit of neck porn,  but  in honor of "John's Neck" week, I thought I'd repost this new and improved version here --in case some of you missed it.  Kind of like recycling - mainly, because it's getting crunch time on finishing my fic for the "Back to Basics" challenge, but I wanted to contribute to this worthy subject -- so enjoy!  Oh, and there's some "pretty" at the end!

I heard it's John Sheppard's Neck Week, and AFAIK that includes the front part, aka

his throat, with some greying chest hair;

the back, stretched, exposing the top of his shoulder girdle (which melagan already linked you to),

and the sweet curve it makes from another angle (scroll down),

or even 180 degrees of skin expanse (scroll up).

Yes! Neck week! Let's just plunge right

into the subject shall we?

In honor of those pictures from Comic Con, the ones we've all seen, of Joe Flanigan in the white linen shirt with the first two buttons undone. I am declaring it



Icons, fic, artwork, essays, picspam, it's all welcome.

Some of my favourite dialogue has already been mentioned, but there's an abundance of examples I enjoy.

These aren't necessarily my all-time favorites from Season Three, but they're the three exchanges I pulled out for our SGA: Johnny Are You Queer discussion that's been taking place around LJ and at various cons.

These may be my top three, but it's impossible to tell unless I read every single transcript over again. There was just so much great stuff this season that I'll just say that these are definitely ( Collapse )

Because they're beautiful in so many ways:
