Journey's End by Brenda Anders (PG)

crack_van with two stories that have the deepest emotional resonance for me - which is as good a reason as any for recommending something, don't you think?
Journey's End is the first RGB story I read when I returned to fandom in general after a four-year moratorium on any fanac. In it I first encountered the concept of "smarm" - that soul-deep buddy-bonding - and found that I liked it very much. Almost all of Brenda's stories have that same emotional satisfaction for me.
Hypothermia stories are virtually a cliche of smarm-fic, but that does not mean that they can't be done beautifully. And Brenda does it very well here, weaving a very nearly tragic, wonderfully introspective tale emphasizing the Peter and Egon bond.
