Why This Must Be Read: I stumbled across this gorgeous little fic while on the hunt for the actual fic I had in mind for this post. I'm sure you all noticed the lack of NC-17 in the rating and if you haven't fallen off your chairs that I'm rec'ing something less than an R, that should tell you how much I enjoyed this fic. I had a smile on my face from the opening scene, that only grew bigger the more I read. Kazbaby has captured the hearts of my two favourite flyboys with such care and skill. Humour, longing and the thrill of being out in public without the fear of recrimination and punishment, are believably written and catch at your heart. So if you would like to spend a moment with John and Cam in their unguarded joy, "First Step, Faith" will give you that and more.
Excerpt:
Cam's almost nervous waiting for the boat from Atlantis to deliver its passengers at the dock. To him the day was doubly important because it was not only the first date (in public and free of the fear of being caught) for him and John but it was also the fifteenth anniversary of the day he and John first met. Cam doubts John remembers that little tidbit but he could never forget it since it was the day he feel head over heels in love with a dorky kid with floppy hair.
He fidgets with the rolled up cuffs of his shirt, hoping that Sam was right that the dark blue was okay with his gray slacks. She'd assured him that it was classy and ordered him to stop being such a girl.
Finally he can see the small boat approaching the dock with several people aboard and walks up to the stairs and wait.
Doesn't matter how many times Cam sees John, he's amazed that the man is with him. John helps one of the ladies step from the boat to the dock, he's wearing his shades in the afternoon light and looking like a damn movie star (which Cam will never tell him because John will tell him that he's nuts) in his jeans and white dress shirt. When John walks up the stairs and looks up, smile immediately on his face when he spots Cam. "Hey there, stranger," he calls out.
"Hey there, yourself," Cam answers, smiling just as widely.
There are several cabs that John's fellow boat passengers load into and it's habit that keeps them from hugging until they're just surrounded by strangers. "Missed you," Cam says, enjoying the moment because it's another first for them and he wants to remember each one today.
"It's only been a couple weeks, but I missed you too," John says back, giving one last tight squeeze before letting go.

Date: 2013-10-13 01:46 pm (UTC)Absolutely enjoyed it.
Loved the holding hands and John's pleased surprise that Cam wanted that. Loved Cam cataloguing all their public firsts. Loved John and the guitar, Cam and the bracelets, the note at dinner. I was really worried when Cam was in the restroom, I was wondering if the bracelets turned out to be some kind of Ancient device, especially after your description of them reminding Cam of Atlantis' architecture. And to have it turn out to be fear induced. Don't you just love it when email conversations create such beauty :D
