Summary: Leo and Riario are immortal now, right? But when Vanessa and Nico return from a diplomatic visit they find that Leo has fallen victim to an assassination attempt and has not yet revived. An increasingly distraught and paranoid Riario is guarding the body lest someone bury Leo. It's left to Vanessa to try and calm Riario and convince him that they will figure this out, that's he not alone.
Content Notes: Character is (probably temporarily) dead.
Author Notes: Takes place within the Immortal AU, Blood of Kings. It takes place after the most recently posted chapter of that series, after the war/Crusade when Leo and Riario are in an established relationship. I may expand on this later and as such it is not yet posted elsewhere, though concrit is welcome.
A revised and expanded version of this fic, including a happy ending, is at my journal and AO3
