i'm dirty diana, and i've got the keys to the van this month. *revs engine* my atlantis reading habits are kind of idiosyncratic, and i'm unlikely to be reccing the same pairing more than once. you'll either find that awesome, or annoying, i guess. but hi.
Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: John Sheppard/Evan Lorne

Author Website: bluflamingo fic
Why this must be read:
A sexual relationship between the military commander and his male 2IC would be against the regs in a bunch of ways, and just plain difficult to navigate. So it's hard to write fic that deals with that balance, of John and Evan being hot for each other, and at the same time being the responsible, too-practical guys we see in canon. The author manages it by having the sex thing begin before the coworker thing, and if the sex keeps going after that, well. John was never *that* fond of the rules. Events run their own lovely, logical line in ths story, keeping the sex reasonable and the guys guy-y, while still managing to be unexpectedly romantic.
A week later, Lorne’s gone, no explanation. John gets a letter eventually, saying that he’s been re-posted to the deep space telemetry project in Colorado, which John can completely see needing pilots, and that he’s going to be out of the country a lot, and hard to get in touch with.
