Why This Must Be Read: There is no 'i' in Team, but there is a Carson Beckett. An outsider, but eventually still a part of the Team, the author paints the love and longing to perfection. Short and sweet, but oh so powerful!

"Don't you always sleep on your stomach anyway?" Ronon asks.

"Well, yes," Rodney pauses in that momentary way he does when he's changing course mid-stream. "But I like to roll over sometimes."

"I know."

Carson looks up at that, but Ronon's response of, "Night watch offworld," answers his question. "McKay snores."

"They kick me," Rodney says sulkily as Carson begins checking the wound and the flesh around it, looking for any signs of infection.

"If your snoring kept me awake all night, I'd kick you too," says Carson without sympathy.

Ronon snorts. "Doesn't stop him. Never for more than a few minutes."

"Look, I considered having an operation on my sinuses to reduce them back on Earth, but then the Antarctic project came up and there wasn't any time to book in, and it seems pointless to have an operation now. Are you finished poking at my butt yet?"

In spite of the tirade, Ronon's grinning, and Carson smiles slightly as he changes the dressing. "It looks fine, although I'll want to check the stitches I put in when we get back to Atlantis."
