Linger Long by Shunda (NC17)

Pairing: Sheppard/Weir

Why this must be read: Written for the Sheppard/Weir Ficathon, Shunda gives us a post-The Siege (Part 3) story that, while now AU, is nonetheless engaging and well-written. A happy, celebration-style fic for the most part, it also contains a trace of angst for those who don't necessarily like everything all happily-ever-after.

After the first attack, the entire crew knew of the young Marine's efforts to fight against the Wraith stimuli invading his system. Life in the city had returned to its own brand of normalcy by the time Ford was well enough to return to earth for a several months' long quarantine. The news of his return was like a shot of adrenalin, boosting morale, acting as a beacon of hope. Another victory unclaimed by the Wraith.

Elizabeth is happy that Ford is back, she really is, but her gaze finds John and she starts as anticipation slams into reality. He's here, he's back, he's safe, try to ignore him, she chants in her head. Her eyes linger just a bit too long, and she wonders if the entire city notices.
