Non-fully accepting, non-fully bashing Slash

[atheniatrue.livejournal.com]

I was reading Mutual Misunderstanding by Ayama_chi and realized when I was done that one of the reasons I liked it so much was because of how the relationship between Sheppard and Lorne was handled and how Sheppard reacted to the whole thing. In most of the Slash stories I read one of two things happen: 1)even if the characters don't jump one another right away, usually the reluctance is because of individual preference or 2) Everybody military(and sometimes the ones in the pairing as well) are all at the extreme end of homophobic.

So I am looking for something along the lines of Mutual Misunderstanding. I would prefer a Sheppard oriented pairing. Specifically, where one of the two does have a reasonable "I am in the military, so it simply isn't done or thought about as my job is more important" attitude and it may even be that it simply wasn't thought about on any real scale before, but it isn't some over the top negative reaction either. Basically, where one of the two hadn't ever been attracted to men, they realize it is a big military issue, but it sort of develops anyway.

Thanks in advance.

I just remembered this one for a different search, but it might sorta fit (some of) what you're looking for too: Close Enough (http://archiveofourown.org/works/60822) by fabularasa. ~18,550 words, McShep, but not HEA.
