Why This Must Be Read: The story follows Daniel at the cabin with the team, after Moebius. His feelings have been tamped down for so long, he's not sure whether he's reading the signals right, if this might finally be "it" -- if his feelings are reciprocated. It's a lovely slow, romantic reveal, with skillful portrayal, even through Daniel's POV, of the connection Jack has with him.

Excerpt:
Daniel turned, still moved to whisper. “You want another beer?”

“Naw.”

Daniel walked over and sat down beside him, and as soon as he did Jack bumped his shoulder, so of course Daniel bumped back. Jack bumped again, and Daniel had to chuckle as he bumped, yet again, in return.

“How long can you keep that up?” Daniel said.

“Keep what up,” Jack said, and bumped him.

Daniel shook his head and gave it up, smiling with one side of his mouth. But their shoulders were touching now. So what, Daniel thought. We can touch. We’re friends. His lower back and his gut and the backs of his thighs wanted to argue for something more in the touch, some kind of veiled potential, but it was the routine of many years to disregard his body’s entreaties regarding Jack and find a distraction. So he sipped his cold coffee, but he left his shoulder pressed against Jack’s, and as he consciously relaxed, his knee fell a little sideways and connected with Jack’s thigh. And he chose to leave it there. So what, Daniel thought again, to pacify his warning mind and his excited body, all at the same time. A bridge of neutrality between arousal and denial.
