Why this must be read: This is a terrific little fic featuring a rare SGA slash pairing. James writes Beckett really well. I love the way she packs so much into such a short fic: the knocking theme, evolution of a romance, a misunderstanding, angst, humor, and a happy resolution. Perfection!

Excerpt:

The first time he knocked on Major Sheppard's door, he wasn't fully convinced he even had the right door. Carson had consulted the room assignments list on the server posted for just this sort of need --but all the doors looked alike and there was no actual numbering system.

But he'd knocked and waited, then the door had slid open and a very confused man stared back at him.

Carson had managed to stammer his offer -- not much as it was, a cuppa and an apology for what was, at that point, only the fifth time he'd begged pardon for nearly killing the man -- not to mention the commander of the entire SGC. He'd only apologised to the General twice, but he felt compelled to make sure Major Sheppard knew -- they did, after all, have to work together and chances were Carson would have another opportunity to accidently almost kill him.
