This is so weird, I feel like Bujold announced that she is writing fic, and I don't know why (expect that 98% of people who remember Jole do so because of your series), but it feels a random (but awesome) choice.

He's not going to be Arkady and will probably not be queer in the slightest (I remember LMB kinda hinting she thought the Vorkosiverse had enough LGBT characters (or words to that effect). I do hope that we learn more about Beta and Sergyar though. It does feel like you willed this into happening though. I mean a character with 500 words coming back as a title character 25 years later? WTF?

I did feel a bit like the last book was Ivan fanfic, so maybe that's just how it feels after a while with a long irregularly updated series? :)

And really she's been hinting at this--bringing Joke back for the brief but significant mentions he got in CryoBurn and Captain Vorpatril's Alliance indicates that she's had Jole in mind for something. Soon we'll find out what! :D

I have to admit that when I read this yesterday, I was all 'yay! more Arkady|Aral with Cordelia cheering them on!" And then I remembered that THIS WAS NOT CANON and I was sad!

So - clearly you must write more in this universe! Because in my brain this pairing is now truth :D

MY SHINY TIN HAT IS FIRMLY IN PLACE LET ME TELL YOU. Until I get absolutely jossed, I will be waving my little flag for ARAL AND JOLE WERE TOTALLY BANGING AND CORDELIA WAS CHEERING THEM ON. THOUGH NOT LIKE IN THE BEDROOM THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWKWARD.
