Why This Must Be Read: Evan Lorne is a soldier, and he has feelings. The first time I read this, I felt awful for him, for being having the man he called CO taken from him. And I fully supported his burning determination to help John not be afraid of being a soldier when he got older. This is part of a series, in which John Sheppard is de-aged, and I highly recommend the entire series, but this brief and powerful insight into just Evan is a good place to stop by.
That Lorne is missing his colleague (and, yes, friend) and that two hundred marines are missing their much-beloved CO... doesn't seem to matter in the grand scheme of things. They wear a uniform and call Sheppard "sir" and none of the cabal can really understand how much more than "boss" that really means or how much it hurts to be excluded from the life of a person who used to call them all his. Who will one day, god willing, do so again.
And so he's passed from hurt to pissed to resigned to furious to wondering if he should stop fighting Caldwell and the SGC so hard to keep Atlantis out of their hands because maybe the cabal needs to lose Sheppard to understand what they've done by imprinting their own disdain for the military upon the child who will one day grow up to be a soldier. But, in the end, he knows that he won't betray them to the SGC. He won't betray Sheppard like that. Because one day Sheppard will be himself again and he shouldn't be punished for the good intentions gone awry of his colleagues. Lorne has held the fort every other time. He'll hold it now. Even if it means not arguing when Kavanagh, whom the adult Sheppard dislikes as much as everyone else does, is considered more worthy to spend quality time with John than anyone with dogtags.
