Why this must be read:

A gently heartbreaking Cam story, in which the Cam/Daniel is almost incidental. Almost, but not quite. Written for the lgbtfest challenge, and so goes to a place and a theme that most SG-1 stories don't go. And it's always a great theme in Cam Mitchell fic, I think. Because Cam has, the most of al SG-1 members: that searching, yearning, that obvious gap between what he sees in the mirror and what others see in him. Here the author fills in the lines of that want, and makes it stinging and real.

And as always, Daniel is right there at the end, patiently waiting for everyone else to buy a clue.

He’s jolted out of his reverie by a sharp knock on the door. It’s Jackson, looking serious and tired and unfamiliar in loose trousers and a tweedy-looking jacket.

“You ready?” Jackson says, and Cam grabs his car keys off his desk.

“I’ll drive,” he says, and Jackson nods his agreement. Which – yeah, if they can't go kill bad guys, taking the Mustang out is definitely the next best thing.
