Oh bounteous and beautiful flist...

If all goes as it's been going, the story that ate my brain should conclude within the next day or so. I fear I cannot be the least bit objective about it, though, so... would any of you amazing and lovely people be up for a beta? Anything from word/grammar critique to "What the heck were you thinking!?" would be highly appreciated.

The tech specs: It's McKay/Sheppard, probably about 8,000 words when complete, contains some very necessary sex, and is a sequel/explanation for this.

Any takers?
