Brava! That's very believable as canon we didn't get to read, and there was Gregor being quietly perceptive and amused, and By-ness too!

thank you! **blush**

I'm still pretty new to fanfic, but I think that story is one of my better efforts so far.

There's considerably more Bujold fic at (not surprisingly) bujold_fic. The biggest deal is novel-length Gregor/Miles slash (A Deeper Season, see http://lookingglass.lightgetsin.com/ads01.html), but tales_of_josan did a really nice series recently, I am helping jetta_e_rus with editing a translation of a Russian Illyan/Aral slash novella It's a Long Way to Escobar, and there was a Bujold ficathon earlier this year which is indexed at http://community.livejournal.com/bujold_fic/16423.html ...

Yes, I saw the ficathon. I shall have to check out the other links; thanks! Aral is a good character for slash given that he's canonically bi.

oh, um, and, the "Novella That Ate My Life" is Ges/Aral... lots of story and a little bit of sometimes-twisted sex. I don't write pr0n though...

Oh, good, 'cause I'm not keen on it myself. Do you have that posted anywhere?

[quietann.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not done yet! I am trying to finish it before lightgetsin and sahiya post the sequel to A Deeper Season, because their stuff is just so completely better than anything I or anyone else out there could write...

But I have posted excerpts (drafts of scenes, really) at:

http://community.livejournal.com/bujold_fic/22557.html
http://community.livejournal.com/bujold_fic/27356.html

There is a little bit of R or NC-17 material in the first, just so you know.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't call any of those drafts. :-) And Ges is so likable here!

Blush again!

[quietann.livejournal.com]

Ges does start out likeable. But I have added things to show that even at the beginning, he's a bit deviant beyond just liking boys...
