Why This Must Be Read: To me it says a lot, not only about the story, but also about an author who is capable of making me care for a pairing that I wouldn't normally ship. Synecdochic takes what we've seen in canon and has expanded upon the little nudges, talk of cooking breakfast, mutual respect and created a very plausible, very real, universe with two people who've been in love for years and didn't realize it because their friendship was just that important. This is set in her Satellites universe and gives us a glimpse of how Cam demonstrates to Sam that he's in for the long haul and care he's willing to put into things.
Snippet:
And stops, because Cam's kneeling in the far corner of the room. He's shirtless -- well, that makes sense; it's ridiculously hot in here, even though the windows are no more than empty holes in the walls where panes of glass once rested -- and he's wearing a pair of jeans that are loose and battered and faded, holes in the knees and paint smeared everywhere on them. There's a tool belt, riding low on his hips. He's got a prybar slung through it, and his mouth is full of nails, and he's painstakingly fitting another strip of wood into place against the bare studs of the far wall and hammering it in.
