My apologies if I've missed this in canon or fanon, but what was Aral's first wife's name? I can't think of where to look, and it seems rude to write a fic about her and never identify her by name.
...And now that I've flipped through the relevant passages of the canon, I really really have no idea anymore of anything except that I am a crazy-eyed Aral apologist. *g*
It's ok. This stupid fic as conceived has one little exploration of Lady Vorkosigan's mental state. That part was fine. And then I veered totally off the rails and Negri knew that she was pregnant by another man and ... encouraged her to end things so as to leave Aral vulnerable for Ezar's machinations later... yeah.
I just wrote a nearly-five-thousand-word fic about Aral and Piotr because of one conversational detour in the Aral/Jole fic I'm currently working on which already got edited out. I feel your pain. *g*
I adore Aral bunches! I just think there might be some interesting potential there to play with unreliable narrators (one might need to come up with plausibly Vor reasons for the accused men to lie, or something).
