I posted a new Vorkosiverse fic to AO3 a few months ago, for Yuletide. Figured I can post it here, too?

Title: The Entirely Beautiful
Author: little Alex
Ratings: PG-13
Spoilers: Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen
Summary: How Aral Vorkosigan and Oliver Jole got together, from Aral's POV.

Hope you enjoy it.

Current Mood: accomplished

I didn't do any Vorkosiverse fic for Yuletide, but I did do a Chalionverse fic. (BTW, with the addition of Hallowed Hunt and Penric and so much stuff in the same 'verse that isn't even tangentially related to Chalion, LMB is asking for us to start calling it "World of the Five Gods" (5GU). Which makes sense, but hasn't really caught on, so whatever.)

Title: On the Nature of Miracles
Fandom: Chalion Saga

Title: The Princess in the Tower
Author: beatrice_otter
Fandom: Vorkosigan series
Characters: Yuri Vorbarra's Sister, Xav Vorbarra, Ezar Vorbarra, Piotr Vorkosigan
Written for: ExtraPenguin's prompt in the 2013 Bujold Ficathon.
Summary: Princess Nadezhda's civil war

Title: The Offer
Fandom: Vorkosigan
Characters: Aral's unnamed sister, Piotr Vorkosigan, Ezar Vorbarra
Wordcount: 4182
Summary: Fedosia Vorkosigan has spent the last decade administrating her father's district in relative obscurity. She liked it. The Emperor's proposition, on the other hand …

Fic on AO3

( Fedosia Vorkosigan did not often see her son. Or her father. The first she regretted very little, and the second not at all. )

Timeline note:
I am using the timeline put together by Tel, which has been very helpful.
The timeline is indexed to Ezar's birth year. I am assuming that Fedosia was born the same year that Aral's unnamed first wife was born in canon, the year Ezar was 35, and that she married Ges the same year Aral would have married Ges' sister (the year Ezar was 53 and Fedosia was 18). Ges died the same year Aral's first wife died in canon (Ezar 55, Fedosia 20), and this story takes place ten years later (Ezar 65, Fedosia 30). Ezar died at age 77, twelve years after this story. In canon, Serg and Kareen were married when Ezar was 68 and Gregor was born when Ezar was 72, the year after the Komarr invasion.

Title: By The Seashore
Author: beatrice_otter
Fandom: Vorkosiverse
Rating: teen
Characters: Simon Illyan/Alys Vorpatril
Word Count: 1,736
Written for:

ana for the 2013 Bujold ficathon
Prompt: Simon gets broody and tells Alys he wants a child of his own. Anywhere in the time line you like, so it could happen or he changes his mind or...up to you :)
AN: Sorry it's so late! My muse dried up and life got in the way and then the ficathon was over and this got shoved into the back burner for a while. But here it is at last.

Summary: There are times when having a perceptive lover is inconvenient. But Simon wouldn’t have Alys any other way.

At AO3.

Title: King of the Mutants
Characters: Miles, Ma Mattulich
Stats: Rated G; no archive warnings (but this is a horror story); 843 words
Summary: There's another side to every story.

I've been watching the

spook_me ficathon for years, and never quite had the right focus at the right time to participate. This time I did, and it was a blast. I don't think I would've written anything this creepy without some kind of push, and spook_me was perfect--just the right blend of "here's something to write about" and "... but don't let that box you in."

Fic post:

Title: Goshawk
Universes: Vorkosiverse, "Person of Interest"
Characters: Simon Illyan, John Reese, Harold Finch, Aral Vorkosigan, Alys Vorpatril
Rating: PG/Teen, gen, warnings for suicide reference, past rape/torture/Serg being Serg.

Summary: As Simon Illyan burrows into Harold Finch's history and investigates threats against ImpSec, his interests and those of Finch and Reese inevitably come into conflict.

Sequel to Sparrow (which should probably be read first). AU PoI/sorta-canon Vorkosiverse crossover. Spoilers through Barrayar; references to PoI canon but no actual spoilers.

I am actually quite astonished that so many people have read "Sparrow" (one never knows, with crossovers) so thank you and I hope you enjoy this one too!

Characters: Ivan, Miles. No pairing.

Words: 2800

Notes: Written for the Psychic Wolves for Lupercalia challenge. An alternate universe based on A Companion to Wolves; take canon warrior culture, add semi-sentient telepathic wolves, shake, stir.

Summary: Miles is crazy about becoming a wolfbrother. Ivan, not so much.

Excerpt:

The second his mutie freak of a cousin was unilaterally uninvited from visiting the cubs, things were going to explode -- noisily, hostilely, and all over the place -- and if there was one place *ever* where Ivan did not want explosions, it was in a closed room with a nursing she-wolf.

Two recently posted fics, both part of my Simon Illyan Is The New Black season:

I meant to mention here earlier a fic a lot of you have read already (thank you): the heart is hard to translate, gen with some M/F, though really Simon/chip. It is a "Simon sniffs out intrigue at a state dinner" story, with bonus Barrayaran Magical Realism (or something slightly more technological/neurological than that). I don't know: the party is in Simon's head; let's go with that.

Next, and even more wacky, is a (totally gen this time) crossover adventure blending the Vorkosigan Regency with "Person of Interest" (the American TV show). Sparrow's summary goes: ImpSec analyst Harold Finch and ex-Armsman John Reese are both lonely outsiders; together, they fight crime. Though that will change, if Simon Illyan has anything to say about it.

Should be comprehensible to all readers, familiar with the show or not. I don't even know where this came from, but it was a heck of a lot of fun to write.

Summary: Before being deployed for the Escobar-Barrayar war, Captain Cordelia Naismith goes to have a talk with Aral Vorkosigan's estranged ex-wife.

On AO3

( Cordelia paused to gather her thoughts before pressing the chime. She wasn't quite sure why she was here—it wasn't as if she expected to see Aral at all on her mission to deliver weapons systems to the beleaguered Escobar, and what could his ex-wife could tell her after all these years, anyway? )

( Duv Galeni sat in the parlor at the Koudelka residence and sipped his coffee. Across from him, Mark Vorkosigan did the same. It was almost amusing, how studiously they were focused on their drinks. )
