Why This Must Be Read: One of Cam's less charming habits (to me, anyway) is the sheer recklessness that has sometimes endangered the team. In this thoughtful ficlet, set in early to mid-season 9, Daniel recognizes the root causes... and calls him on it.
The perils of expectations, the demand for perfection, and the support that comes with teamy goodness - it's all here, and it's all good.
"You don't have to do this, you know."
Cam looked up from his computer, surprised. "I don't?"
"I don't mean the report. You still have to do that."
"Oh," Cam looked momentarily disappointed. "What then?"
"You don't have to try so hard all the time."
