Midnight Train by miss-zedem (PG-13)
Many thanks to the mods for letting me post my collision crossover rec a day early - I'm off on holiday for a week now, so unless I have internet access (unlikely) we'll be taking a short break from recs. I promise I'll come back with some that will make it worth the wait.
Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS/STARGATE SG1
Pairing: Cam Mitchell/John Sheppard
Length: about 5k I'd guess

Why this must be read:
Midnight Train is a slight au, in which John ends up as Cam's military physiotherapist after the crash in Antarctica. I love how miss-zedem writes Cam;s confused attraction to John pretty much from the beginning, and how he goes back and forth between 'let's be friends' and 'no, let's be professionals.' I love how she writes John in this - still very recognisably John, but happier and less pressured than our John, cooking food Cam will like anf flirting with him and being so supportive and positive the whole way through.
And, as an added bonus, though they're neither of them in it much, miss-zedem does a lovely job with both Carter and Lorne, particularly Carter as the supportive, sensitive friend.
The first time Cam meets John, he's kind of unconscious. There's a vague impression of another person in the room, wearing different color scrubs from the nurses and doctors, bringing a different... energy, or something. Calmer, more laid back.
"Hi there," he says, and it's a weird accent, part Southern drawl and part California beach bum, all mixed up with something else Cam's not awake enough to place. "My name's John, and I'm gonna be your waiter this evening." Sounds of pen scratching on paper, then something plasticy being placed somewhere near his right ear, probably on top of the monitor or maybe the bedside locker. "Actually, that's a lie - I'm gonna be your physical therapist for as long as it takes you to get your ass out of that bed and back to work. But people like waiters more than they like physical therapists, right?"
Cam blinks slowly, and John leans closer, like he's telling Cam a big secret. "Basically, I'm gonna be feeling up your legs in a second. Don't get excited, it's nothing personal - well, it is, which is why I introduced myself even though you're still pretty out of it, huh, Cameron? I think it's only polite to be on a first name basis before I start groping you."
