Ships that I Ship: Day 132: Lorne/Zelenka

[coprime]

Canon: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: Evan Lorne/Radek Zelenka
Canon Level: They've Probably Talked To Each Other At Some Point Or Another

I think this one has even less canon support than Lorne/Parrish, although at least both Lorne and Radek get a decent amount of (separate) screen time over the course of the series. Lorne and Zelenka play similar roles in the show, in that they're both the right hand man of man in charge of the military/science contingent. Lorne works in the background to help Sheppard by being steady and competent; Zelenka works in the background to help McKay by being sensible and confronting McKay when necessary. Their similar positions on Atlantis probably give them a similar viewpoint of life on Atlantis, and they can bond over what it's like to work for Sheppard and McKay. Neither has a very flashy personality, but that would probably make for a refreshing change after all the excitement that makes up the rest of their lives.
