langford_u which is essentially an open AU of the stargate verse, where the entire cast works or studies at Langford University. last time I checked it was kind of dead. I started writing this fic about a billion christmases ago and I think some of it was lost cause I'm sure I had more, but since it's really old, I figure between computers it got lost.

summary: it's christmas time! and this means traditions and worry for everyone
Traditions. Beloved and Hated, but hardly ever boring.
One of Langford’s oldest tradition was the annual Christmas party.
That in itself it’s not unusual or strange, most Universities and Companies hold Christmas parties for their employees.
But Langford can never be like other, it’s Christmas party is very especial.
“Year 2007, and is necessary a especial date to be ok for a woman to ask a man out?”
Complained Dr.Janet Fraiser, while the majority of the University’s female staff discussed the Annual Christmas Party.
It originally begun as a Sadie Hawkins dance.
Then it was mixed with a Christmas Party.
And now it was a celebration Unique to Langford University.
Everyone loved it, really, but it was also greatly feared.
Men were out of balance, waiting to be asked and women were in the dilemma of who to ask.
Until last year, it was also a great distress *how* to ask., so they came up with a way.
Mistletoe leafs.
The woman was to leave it to the man in some place he would find it.
What to write in it, if anything, was each woman’s decision.
The party was in a couple of weeks and the rumour mill had been working over-time predicting couples.
There were a few polls worth several hundred of dollars about known almost-couples betting wether the woman asked or not and if she did, if the almost-couple finally became an official couple.
The women of LU were making a headcount of who was already taken and who could they invite.
“So, I hear Dr.Sheppard will get the “i got more invitations” awards this year... he’s by far the more popular math teacher ever” said janet fraiser, trying to sound casual while glancing at Elizabeth
“i passed outside his office yesterday and his door was completely full of leafs... no girls were there surprisingly” comment Laura Cadman, the new addition to the athletics department
“really?” asked sam carter “ has he accepted any?”
“of course not!” declared Elizabeth in a tone a bit too harsh for the discussion, causing her to receive intested glances of the other women at the table.
“he’d never go with one of his students!” she continued.
“the leafs weren’t only from students. I know some teachers have invited him.” At this point, one woman almost chocked on her coffee, apologizing and leaving the table
“But he hasn’t accepted any. Seems like he’s waiting for someone” Laura informed them.
She had heard the rumours about Drs.Weir and Sheppard and had been dying to ask her about it.
“Why haven’t you invited him, liz?” it was sam carter, elizabeth’s oldest friend and the only one allowed to use the despisede nickname who asked her.
“who says i even want to?”
“oh,come on, elizabeth, we all know you want to! Who wouldn’t?” was janet’s almost-automatic response “still, no need to hurry. He won’t take anyone else. I’m sure he’d rather go alone and meet with you there. You truly are a lucky woman”
“he won’t have to do that, i will ask him, just not yet, let him sweat a little more.”Elizabeth smirked, glancing to where john and other professors were sitting, only a few tables away
“speaking of sweating, i hear jack o’neill hasn’t accepted any offers either”said Laura,their self-proclamed informant “although Anise already tried”
sam chuckled before adding “jack would rather die than spend a evening with her”
“are you planning on asking him this year?” elizabeth asked her. Sam and Jack were even worse than john and her, at least they spent time together, sam and jack usually settled with pining for eachother.
“you should” added janet “before he’s forced to take someone else”
Jack, as part of the board, had to attend this events and the protocol dictated he must have a date. The last few years he ended up accompanying different visiting teachers that loved any excuse to crash their celebrations.
“my brother may be visiting this year so i thought i’d take him”
“oh,come on, sam, you don’t even have to do it face to face, just leave a leaf in his car or something” said janet
“well what about you?” sam responded, wanting to change the subject
“Daniel’s not gonna wait forever with Sarah around”
“good point. That’s why i invited him this morning. Left it with a cup of coffee on his office today”
“you did? And when were you gonna tell us? That’s great!” was laura’s high pitched exclamation of joy and surprise.
“well,one down” said a grinnning sam. She was glad daniel and janet were growing closer.
“i’ll leave one on john’s desk this afternoon” announced elizabeth smiling
suddenly an idea hit sam “you know that may not be the best idea”
“what?!” screamed the other women at the same time.
“i mean, leaving it on his desk. He won’t see it. He’s never there. Or someone could like..lose it or something”
“so what am i supposed to do, leave it on my desk?” joked elizabeth
“well, yeah” laura said “he’s always there, isn’t he? And imagine the face he’ll make when he sees it”
they all laughed picturing it.
A few tables away, this women were being closely watched by a group of nervous-looking men.
“i found it this morning” daniel said about his ‘invitation’
“it was next to a cup of coffee. Really good coffee.
the leaf itself didnt say much. Just ‘daniel’ on one side and ‘janet’ on the other side”
“lucky man, janet’s a great woman when she’s not trying to kill you.” Jack said to his friend. He had been watching him pine over janet for a long time now.
“and now you don’t need to worry” jack continued
“I’m still waiting” said john
”i think my health may suffer if this goes on for too long. I’ve had to reject several women already and i think they’re plotting a revenge”
“boo-hoo, mr.i have too many women, at least someone invites you.”
Snarked mckay, whining again
“don’t worry, lad, im sure there will be at least one woman willing to take ya..”
“even if she’s paid to do it” finished sheppard, chuckling
“she wasn’t paid! That was just a big missunderstanding”
“sure,whatever you say,mckay.” Said jack,laughing
“So anyone knows if there’ll be visiting teachers this year?” asked jack, hoping to hear a negative answer.
“probably, they always give their conferences this time , and crash a few parties while they’re at it. Why?” asked daniel, knowing the answer.
“just wondering who was coming” jack said, vaguely
“ are you wondering if Lara is coming?” asked john
“ or are you afraid Lantash is? Or Narim?”
“Something like that,yes” answered jack, looking to the table the women were sitting at.
“if this ball were the other way around, would you invite Sam?” asked daniel
“would you invite Janet?” was jack’s answer.
“i asked first”
Jack once again glanced at the other table, thinking.
“ yeah. I would”
“so would i” answered daniel.
“im sure she’ll ask. Ay,Who’s better than you?”
said beckett, trying to reassure him.
“i’d ask her too” said mckay. They all couldn’t help but laugh.
“what?” he asked them
“don’t you think she’d say yes? We have physical atraction, there’s no denying that”
“mckay, you can be and are a atracted to anything with a Y cromosome. Doesn’t mean they feel the same way”
they all laughed again, as mckay started whining one more time
“yes,please, let’s mock the lonely scientist..”
