So, um, I seem to have sequel'd Castle Down.

In the wake of the defeat of Vulpis, Jon has just been knighted, Stephen is following the legal path to citizenship, and all seems to be going well. But there are other countries in this particular jewel-studded fantasy AU, and life is turned upside-down once again when Jon finds himself playing bodyguard to a political refugee from the far-off land of Gi Foar, setting off a clusterf@#k of jealousy, political intrigue, and, yes, more unicorns.

Decorative capitals, as before, from Daily Drop Cap. Title this time around is from a Styx song.

( While Jon and Stephen hope for peace, Aasif and Kristen enact a daring if unappreciated rescue mission. )
