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.
