Why This Must Be Read: I love the buoyantly fun and sincere Birds of a Feather, in which Lorne teaches Cadman to fly a jumper at Sheppard's request. This story has everything I love, from Sheppard and Lorne dealing in their usual humorous and capable fashion with the mundane details of running the Atlantis military installation, interactions between Cadman and Lorne, and flying, my absolute favorite story theme. The author beautifully captures Cadman's joy when she first realizes what flying feels like. It's an equally electric moment for Lorne and the reader. One can almost feel Lorne tip just then from grudging respect for his subordinate to friendship and the possibility of something more. This is a gen story, despite their chemistry, but I count Cadman becoming just as smitten with the jumpers as Lorne and Sheppard. This fic also gives a nice little nod to wickedwords' wonderful The Jumper Lesson, which I highly recommend.
