Summary: "Such fine metal a peasant could not possess, with little time to hone a sharp blade. Why, I imagine it was a dreadful experience."

Beta:
lilithilien who kicks so much ass she beta'd for me, then with one hand tied behind her back, came up with title and summary.
A/N: re: the warning - There's no non-con or dub-con, no gory graphic violence, no graphic baum-chicka-wha-wha, but it's admittedly dark and possibly a bit warped if you think at all like me.
This is written for everyone who watched the show and wondered how and why everyone is so remarkably well-kept (other than to make viewers drool at the pretty people in shiny armor). I would apologize for the direction my brain took for such a light-hearted show in finding an answer - but I'm saving that for another fic I have in mind.
