Why This Must Be Read: Because I read this years ago as one of the first Sheppard/Weir fics I ever read, and it's still one of my favorites. It's short, but wonderfully written with great characterization that captures Sheppard and Weir's relationship at the beginning with a deft hand. I admire lone_pyramid's ability to convey a whole relationship (and its' transition from one point to another) with what she once called just a ficlet. Personally, I think that's not giving the fic enough credit. It's insightful and, yeah, let's not forget - hot.



The times they went to each other were sporadic, but there was a sort of pattern to it. Any mission that put John in a near-death situation was guaranteed to drive them together for a night, though he was hard-pressed to predict which one of them would crack first; it was split pretty evenly if she would go to his quarters or if he would make his way to hers. But the human need to reaffirm life ensured they would find each other after the more dangerous missions.
