An unexpected problem with the kitchen sink having eaten most of my evening, the fic will have to have a third part, which will either be posted tonight (soon!), or on July 31. I'm hoping for tonight, and I will definitely sprint to the finish line, but I can't promise it at this point.

Note: Written for summer_of_giles. It was supposed to be ready for my first day on June 29, but it wasn't and katekat1010 and elizabuffy were kind enough to let me off the hook. Thank you. Part 2 will be posted later today.
Note 2: The title can be translated, literally, into "when the sky falls on our head." French speakers amongst you who have read the adventures of Astérix et Obélix will recognize the reference.
