New story: Night Spirits

Since the authors have been revealed today, I guess I can go ahead and post this now:

My Secret Santa story was:

Night Spirits
Pairing: none / team, gen
Characters: Zelenka, team, Lorne, a dash of Weir
Rating: PG
Recipient: murron (you can all imagine the squee I gave when I realised I was writing for my best friend? And then the sound of dismay for having to hide the writing from her?)
Spoilers: through Critical Mass, with special nods to Epiphany and The Hive
Summary: "The area I come from, we have an ancient tale about nights like this"
Disclaimer: Not mine, no profit.
Beta-read: By the ever lovely auburnnothenna (including hand-holding and constant encouragement) and quiller77. Thank you.
Notes: Murron wanted: snow, warm clothing, hot beverages, off-world settings, food, team interaction, Sheppard's hands, Ancient or any other mythology, Zelenka-appearances, geeks in general, various states of undress, silent comfort, threatening lemons. Some were a stretch, but I think I've got most things shoehorned in.
