fanfic recs

Everybody and their mother has been shouting about this fic, and if you haven't read it yet, You Should. It's Mitchell backstory with Sheppard in Afganistan; with Mitchell this fine, upstanding 'so what's wrong with you? I can't find it.' young officer, and Sheppard is slouchy and insubordinant and poised to be a great leader and poised to destroy his career. It's like oil and water, and their Afganistan missions are fire.

frostfire_17, props to you. Voices = perfect (especially for Cameron, who I think is difficult to get a handle on, this early), interaction = intense, payoff = huge. This is fantastic: Here Is No Water.

My favorite line, behind the cut ( because it's minorly spoilery, but powerful. )

Holy crap, right? Right.
