Author's Notes: This is a very long story (over 51,000 words) and there is a lot of McShep, McBeck and Beck/Shep interaction and emotion so I think lovers of those pairings who aren't necessarily into threesomes would get something from this fic.

Thanks: Many thanks to Bluespirit who offered me such wonderful encouragement and support and great beta advice while I was writing this monster. She also made me with the perfect title graphic. Thanks also to Sergeeva for comments and kindness :-). Big thanks to Phoebe for the medical beta :-) Any mistakes are my own.

Extract

Even in the shade, his forehead was beaded with sweat that dripped down the side of his face and into his beard, and he could tell by the heat in his shoulders that the lacerations had become infected. If he turned his face he could just about make out the purple swellings that criss-crossed his back in long, hard, raised welts. He was sweating off more than he was taking in and he longed for water but knew from experience that they'd get food and water only twice a day, at sunrise and sunset. Slaves were fed and watered after the horses – the Karkarans knew their priorities.
