(another note - there's a Lois McMaster Bujold quote in here: "While we live, we cannot disengage.")
Summary: Unbroken AU: the power of Orden is seductive, and almost impossible to resist - no matter who wields it. When Zedd's Spell of Undoing on Dahlia is interrupted, Richard and Kahlan don't have the luxury of a reality where they don't already know what it means to be a Rahl. And turnabout is fair play...
( Richard and Kahlan had been fighting Darken Rahl, evil tyrant, for so long, it had created a kind of intimacy... )
