Take a WILD guess who inspired this one (even if she did inspire it a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...)? Yep. Bow to The Great Anna.
Very silly, very short, no spoilers.

Carter’s Legs,
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
(1) I don’t get to see you a lot. I mean, I know you’re always there; she’ll walk in a certain way or lean in a certain way, and her pants will pull against her body. Cupping you, almost framing you as if you were a picture painted solely for me. But, in actuality, I don’t get to see you a lot, which makes our time together even more special.
(2) When I do see you, it’s usually because she’s in dress blues.
Statement of fact: deep blue is hands down the colour she looks best in. Doesn’t matter what it is. Pants, a shirt, a feather boa (okay, so that’s a fantasy for another time)...now I don’t know much about fashion – couldn’t really give a rat’s ass about fashion – but I do know that colour suits her *perfectly*. And if it just so happens that her dress uniform is that particular colour, then obviously the Universe is paying back some karma for all the crappy things it’s done to me.
I love a woman in uniform.
Seriously.
(3) You’re gorgeous – I mean just look at you! I know the colour yet again reinforces the fact that she spends way too much time in her lab, but I actually prefer you that pale. And you’re smooth. I don’t even have to touch you to know that – I can see it. My hand would just glide across you, only pausing because it *wanted* to pause, because it wanted to prolong the experience.
(4) You’re strong. You’ve literally kicked assed, then *hauled* ass to get yourself and others out of trouble. You’ve pounded against the ground, carrying her weight and frequently the weight of an injured party (sometimes me, sometimes not), never giving up, never going under.
(5) You’re attached to Carter and let me tell you, that makes you the perfect package deal. Beautiful, sexy as hell, so intelligent it’s scary/freaky/awe-inspiring, dedicated, loyal, funny, tender, planet/galaxy/universe/me saver, occasionally frightening, and without a doubt the woman I want to be staring at with confusion for the rest of my life.
(6) I mentioned the gorgeous part, right?
“Jack?”
Sigh. What?
“As flattering as this is, are you done yet? My legs need to go to the bathroom.”
Adios, legs. Next viewing scheduled for five minutes time.
Don’t be late.
