Why this must be read:
This is a huge fantasy/space opera AU comprising 3 books and 2 timestamps to date. Although I believe Laurie plans to write more in this 'verse the novels are complete on their own. This has all the elements I really enjoy in an AU: really detailed world building but with familiar themes from canon and characters who are still very much themselves. Laurie has created a fascinating futuristic society which has lots of challenges for our two protagonists. I like the way the author takes the familiar storyline from the episode "The Girl Next Door" and weaves it into this new setting. It is also an interesting twist on all the "Blair as oppressed Guide" fics out there: he is still oppressed, but in this universe due to his status as a bastard. Set aside some time and immerse yourself in this long, satisfying story and don't miss the lovely artwork and fan mixes which accompany the fic and which can be found by following the link below.
Author's Summary: In a rigid class society, bastard Blair Sandburg has worked hard for his education and is currently doing research for his doctorate on the tropical planet of Quyllur. Jim Ellison thumbed his nose at what his father expected of him and became an Orion's Hunter, and then a Protecter. Their paths are about to cross when a new drug hits the streets of Cascade, New Rainier.
