what appeals to me in all this is the fact that there is one with and one without wings in the coupling. It sets up all kinds of gentle inadequacies - being different so having to stay off world/having these amazing new abilities versus being perfectly normal and seeing your friend change and not having those new skills. That I think creates a lot with which to create interest in the relationships (and the angst/comfort for that steaming hot sex too).
I read an Atlantis thing somewhere where Rodney got wings with what his team ended up calling a 'wingbox'. That was ironic as of course John didn't get them couldn't fly, and he would be the one who really really wanted to. Rodney was reticent and scared. It was John who coached Rodney (and got closer to him through that and into hot loving sex) and then of course Rodney returned the favour as he understood what John was going through was able to take John flying.

How about sex on the wing BTW?
