Summary: Gilded cages are still cages. Sheppard and McKay turn to each other to survive a life in slavery and afterward.

INSTANT REC!!! I had a blast reading this story, it had a lot of action, adventure, and plenty of drama and trauma for the main characters. I loved the character voices for Vala, Sam, and Teyla. This is a story I had couldn't stop reading until I finished, so I'm glad I started it on a Saturday after I had finished my homework for the day.

INSTANT REC!!!! This blew me away. I got tears in my eyes, I loved the character voices, and I couldn't stop reading once I started.

I enjoyed this story.

This was one of the best Common Ground episode tags I've ever read.

Wow I was riveted reading this story. I loved the outsider pov, the hurt/comfort, and John was pretty scary in a good way.
