Still Waters by DC (PG)

Fandom: TOUR OF DUTY
Pairing:Friendship: Lieutenant Myron Goldman -- Lieutenant Johnny McKay
Author on LJ:DC’s Journal
Author Website: No personal website
Why this must be read:

In the episode “Nightmare,” McKay's helicopter is shot down and he is written off by his chain of command. Badly wounded, he survives alone in enemy territory until Goldman, of all people, organizes an unauthorized rescue party.

“Still Waters” is a follow-up to “Nightmare.” McKay is appalled to realize he’s afraid to fly again. Normally careless and self-centered, he finds himself thinking of his mother and how his loss would have affected her. I like this story because it makes good use of canon, and features an uncommonly thoughtful, vulnerable McKay, as well as a supportive Goldman. The author does a nice job with atmosphere, vividly describing the setting, from the misty gloom of the flight line to the noise of the Officers’ Club.
