1. It takes Lorne three months on Atlantis to meet all of the scientists, even though he's making an effort to do it, and Dr Simpson is one of the last. He's looking for Dr Zelenka, and he stops in the open doorway to the lab when he hears McKay yelling. Dr Simpson is standing in front of a whiteboard, facing Lorne, with her back to McKay, and though he's clearly berating her, she's rolling her eyes and ignoring him. She looks so much like Lorne feels when Sheppard's having one of his I'm-too-stupid-for-the-Air-Force moments that he can't help grinning, especially when she grins back.
2. When Colonel Sheppard starts up a new programme of city exploration, Jeanette asks to be put on a team. She gets assigned to Lieutenant Cadman's, one of three scientists and two marines and, not entirely surprisingly, gets chatting to the lieutenant (the moments of discovery are fantastic, but Jeanette thinks this is more because they're so few and far between). They get on well enough that Jeanette starts having dinner with Laura a couple of times a week, and after a while, Major Lorne starts dropping by as well. It's been a while since Jeanette felt like she belonged as much as she does with the two of them.
3. During Lorne's first year in the city, he and Jeanette get trapped in a small space together five times, and each time, they come out rumpled and laughing. Neither of them miss the looks exchanged between the scientists, and sometimes the marines, working on getting them out. Neither of them say anything, either.
Sorry, that ended up being more tiny ficlets than fanon, but I hope it will suffice anyway :)
