Why This Must Be Read:

Its an extended scene of what was going through Carolyn's mind as she treated Cameron for the plague in that episode. I'm personally addicted to fics that tie into the episodes. And this one gives us a look into Cam from another's pov.

She’d only really begun spending time with him in a non-professional manner in the last couple of days. Despite her best attempts to rebuff his invitations, Carolyn had eventually been persuaded into having lunch with the Lt. Col. in the cafeteria one day. Despite her best efforts she had been charmed by the man - there was just something about his easy confidence and positive attitude that she had found surprisingly endearing.

He certainly wasn’t the kind of man she was used to. When Carolyn dated, which wasn’t often, it was with the more scholarly men in her field. Men who were as addicted to their work as she was and whose ideas of a wild night were to have a couple of glasses of wine and watch back-to-back episodes of their favorite shows. They were all good men in the sense that they cared about their jobs and their patients, but none of them loved their jobs in the same way that Cameron did…or were as unflinchingly kind and generous to those around them as he was. She had seen the way he interacted with both his teammates and the rest of the staff at the SGC. He respected his superiors as much as he respected his peers and those he commanded. If Cameron had chosen medicine over flying, he would have made one hell of a doctor, she thought.
