ariadne83 says: The whole thing started with the mental image of Woolsey and Caldwell sitting on the balcony sipping drinks, Boston Legal style, and grew into an epic comment fic (SGA: the fandom where characters just will not shut up).

lunabee34 says: Writing this fic was some of the best fun I've had in fandom. What started out as kind of a joke ended up turning into something of which Ariadne and I are very proud. Enjoy.

( Woolsey forces himself to wait patiently until Atlantis decides that, yes, he may gain entry to his quarters, and once inside he kicks off his shoes and trades his uniform for an exquisitely tailored three piece. The wine he brought with him across two galaxies is disappearing much faster than he had anticipated, but Woolsey pours himself a glass anyway. He deserves a drink. He almost killed his chief medical officer three days ago. )

Notes on the making of this fic

Notes on the making of "Men of Integrity"

This fic started out with this line of dialogue I wrote mainly to be silly: "I've always loved this particular Wagner piece," Caldwell says and leans out over the balcony, light from the east Pier reflecting majestically off his bald pate. (Source) ariadne83 and I started comment tagging, and very quickly, the fic stopped being something we were writing for laughs and morphed into what I think is more of a character study of both men than anything else. Thus the good ship Woolwell began its maiden voyage.

I have no idea if any of you guys are interested in this or not, but I'd like to preserve for myself some of the meta thinking we did when pairing these two.
