Fic: lean on
I wrote a fic! For Chocolate Box, where loads of people left fantastic Vorkosigan prompts. I really wanted to write more treats but I had the flu half the time so not so much writing happened. And then when I did have writing time, well, my brain has a frustrating tendency to hare off in the wrong direction when I see a prompt: viz lots of people wanted Ivan interacting with any of Miles, Gregor, Aral, Laisa, Ekaterin, By... so I stared at those prompts for a while, and then came up with a plot bunny for Ivan talking to his mother instead.
But anyway, I finally got to use my favourite Aral/Simon quote as a fic summary for lean on aka the time Aral tells Simon not to use Miles as an assassin please. Because when I saw that conversation referenced in ACC, I went OUCH, and have been meaning to write it up as a fic sometime and finally did it. And I hope to finish the Ivan & Alys fic, and also something for @karanguni who continues to have the best Aral/Simon prompts and who I really hope isn't tired of me writing them yet.
And in my other fandom, False Value is out, I have read it, I love it, and I don't think it's spoilery to say: if you were frustrated by the lack of Peter-Nightingale interaction in some of the previous books, you are going to like this one. Longer review when I finish rereading it.
