Date: April 22, 2009
Word count: 2,600

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Pairing: Carson Beckett/Evan Lorne
Rating: FRT
Disclaimer: The characters of SGA are not mine.
Spoilers/setting: Some time after "Whispers"; no spoilers for the rest of season 5.
Summary: "So is playing cards the only reason you're here?" Carson asked before Lorne was done dealing the first round of cards. / "Not really," Lorne admitted. "But can we pretend I am just a little while longer?"

Note: Written for lgbtfest, prompt #1215: Stargate: Atlantis, Carson Beckett/Evan Lorne, clone!Carson Beckett/Evan Lorne, Lorne came out to Carson once before, he isn't sure he can do it all over again. What if the outcome is different this time? Carson isn't who he was; Lorne has already mourned for him, but he finds himself unable to move on.

Thanks to mireille719 for the last minute readthrough.
