I've seen the entire series. (I did forget about Larrin while I was working on this, this was my mistake.) There's a reason why the essay's titled, 'why I read John Sheppard as ace', rather than 'Why Sheppard is ace.' And asexual people can and do get married. The same with flirting. Special Ops are in fact something you can choose not to persue. But a newlywed Sheppard does it anyway. Because at some point, there is only so long you can fake it.
Watched your Mara clip too. I see someone who takes two kisses to even wake up to the fact that this is happening. A 'fuck it, why not moment,' and then a complete stop and despite being thrown on the bed, strong implications in conversation to Weir at the end of the episode that to me at least pretty heavily implied he did not close the deal.
We're going to have to agree to disagree on Teer because to me, an awful lot of the conversation is veiled shots at Teer despite addressing a group. The fact that there was no arcing Sheppard-centric romance was seriously my favorite part of the show.
