Why this must be read: This story takes that old cliche, "aliens made them do it," and wonderfully turns it on its head: aliens make them not do it. McKay and Sheppard must undergo a ritual cleansing by...not having sex. Of course, they think this will be no problem at all: "Easiest diplomatic requirement we've had," McKay confidently asserts. Thus begins a long, long night together, a long night of not having sex, when the one thing you're not supposed to think about becomes the only thing you can think about. Resonant's spare, clean style opens up every line to subtext, richly developing something more than sexual tension between McKay and Sheppard, and revealing something about the nature of collegiality and friendship between men that changes when sex is thrown into the mix, when a realization is made that changes everything:

John felt a pang of something like loneliness. After tonight he was never going to be able to look at McKay the careless way he always had. His long fingers, his sturdy body, his oddly pretty eyes—this was no way to be thinking about a member of his team. But after tonight, he couldn't un-know what he knew.
