Simony

Rafal was fed up with Rhian's delusions of True Love. After the Vulcan fiasco, after following where the stories go at night, after seeing Gavaldon, Rafal reaches his breaking-point sooner in Rise, and decides to confront Rhian.

Simony (noun) = the buying or selling of something spiritual or closely connected with the spiritual.

This is a canon-divergent fic.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I wrote this fic BEFORE the publication of Fall, so don't expect this to follow canon at all. This prediction was incredibly incorrect.
