Oh! These are all gorgeous - I loved this: a hint of nerves under the cheer, skating around his eyes and the corner of his mouth, and this Whatever Mitchell was offering, or trying to offer, or not quite offering, yet. He wanted to say yes, so badly., and Lorne, so broken in the Last Cigarette piece...
Oh, very nice! I love the last line of "Last Cigarette." And "Unexpected" is just perfect. Such a comfortable relationship, and such great descriptions. Though you realize that now you've tired yourself into both allowing them to survive for seven more years, and in permitting their relationship to survive equally long. ;)

But on the bright side, neither of them is likely to die on the show, so at least that makes it easier :)
Wow, love "Last Cigarette" - you really captured the kind of frozen desperation/ weariness/ grief of the two of them at the front line of a terrible war. It nicely parallels Evan's emotional state in Two Weeks. I can hope that their brief time together helped them both, the way Cam is later able to help Evan. (Cuz otherwise I'm just hurting so much for both of them!)
eeee! So happy to get a glimpse of John & Cam in the future of Return'verse.
"Still With Me" - oh, boys! John reminds me of a feral cat, wanting to come in to the warmth but not sure of his welcome. Kinda twitchy and wary. And there's Cam, so patient, laying out the trail of cat food to entice him in. Not pushing too hard, cuz he knows that'll just scare him away.
"Say Goodnight" - Love Cadman, and the camaraderie she has w/ Evan. & love the last two lines!

Mm, definitely. Because he had Atlantis, where he finally felt like he fitted, and then had it taken away - it's a big, big risk to try again with these people. But Cam will win him round :)

Thank you! I think they're my favourite not-supported-by-canon-really-at-all friendship :)
wincing over his coffee mug - probably trying to drink it while it was too hot, again - and frowning at John. It shouldn’t have been possible to do both, John was pretty sure, but that was Mitchell for you.
I tried this. My face was scrunched up like I'd sucked on a lemon.
John's dislike of Sam, from his defensiveness about Rodney, to his jealousy over her and Cam is wonderful.
I love how raw John is and how much Mitchell wants to help him move on from his grief.

In the original fic, John seems surprised, where in this line there's an inevitability to it. So now I wonder how the two pieces mesh and the way these two are in denial.

In honor of which, I give you my lemon icon :)

The original one is about a few months after this - I think at that point, John's given up hoping that Cameron actually wants to sleep with him, rather than just comfort him, particularly since as far as he knows, that's all Cameron's ever wanted. If that makes sense.

Lorne deciding he doesn't care if people work out what's going on with him and Mitchell
I guess there have to be *some* perks to being the stars of a now-declassified top-secret project :)
