If you're waiting impatiently for Yuletide to go up, may I offer two odd (and kind-of Vorkosigan, but please read the notes!) pieces inspired by one of last year's Yuletide stories?

[archiveofourown.org profile] lannamichaels  wrote a wonderful modern-AU crackfic called Barrayar Expects That Every Fan Will Do Their Duty: Excerpts From A Fandom, in which the characters of the Vorkosigan Saga are fans of a TV show (with occasional movies) called Barrayar. A number of the commenters said they'd like to read some of the Barrayar fic (and slash) she described. I agreed, and hoped someone would write it--but not me, because it's not the sort of thing I write. That was, of course, tempting the gods; five weeks later I started coming down with a story.

This is a slash episode tag for a TV show that doesn't exist, which should be all you need to know to read it. (Well, that and there are some warnings in the tags and end-notes on A03 and in the header on my journal; please heed them!)

Title: The Wrong Ground To Hold (on Ao3 here), by [personal profile] ailis_fictive
Rating: Explicit (Really!)
Wordcount: 5475

And then, having committed that...oddity, I went back and wrote a scene from the climax of the episode:

Title: Blood Yet Must Flow (on Ao3 here), by [personal profile] ailis_fictive
Rating: Teen
Wordcount: 1060

I trust these are Vorkosigan-ly enough to warrant posting here, even if they're, ah, second-order derivatives!  ("The Wrong Ground To Hold" acutally has two Vorkosigan-verse easter eggs for the attentive reader...because I could, that's why.)
