The Emperor's Curve, by the Yuletide Fairy

2007-12-25

[Vorkosigan]

Title: The Emperor’s Curve
Author: Yuletide Fairy [info]yuletidefairy
Summary: A Barrayaran Political Science Thesis.
Characters: Gregor Vorbarra, Cordelia Vorkosigan
Rating: PG

Why?

This wasn't written for me, but it could as well have been. A defining moment of Gregor's upbringing, that proves a wonderful hindsight into Gregor's relationship with Cordelia.

Two To Make Peace, by Kathryn Andersen

2007-09-05

[Vorkosigan/Doctor Who]

Title: Two To Make Peace
Author: Kathryn Andersen [info]kerravonsen
Summary: “It takes one to make war, and two to make peace.”
Characters: Miles Vorkosigan, the Doctor
Rating: PG

Why?

Although it helps to have a general idea what Doctor Who is about, it's not necessary to be familiar with the actual show, which helped in my decision to choose to read this story.

Miles' voice was spot on, and from the little I've seen of DW, so was the Doctor's. Very enjoyable story.

Ekphugion, by Shaye

2007-09-04

[Vorkosigan/New Battlestar Galactica]

Title: Ekphugion
Author: Shaye [info]fourteenlines
Summary: Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started. - Greek proverb
Characters: Aral Vorkosigan, Cordelia Vorkosigan, Miles Vorkosigan, Ivan Vorpatril, Gregor Vorbarra, Lee 'Apollo' Adama, William Adama, Laura Roslin, Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace, Sharon 'Boomer' Valerii
Rating: PG-13

Why?

Under Shaye's talented pen, the Vorkosigan and the BSG universe mesh wonderfully. She confronts the characters from both shows, pitting their characterisations subtly. I just wish she could have written more.

A Maze of Twisty Passages, All Alike, by Merry

2007-08-25

[Vorkosigan]

Title: A Maze of Twisty Passages, All Alike
Author: Merry [info]merryish
Summary: Thanks to some rather unsavory family connections on his mother's side, Ivan Vorpatril had had occasion in his life to be half-killed by a truly impressive array of instruments and circumstances.
Characters: Ivan Vorpatril, Gregor Vorbarra.
Rating: PG

Why?

There just isn’t enough Ivan/Gregor interaction in the books, but Merry remedies to that masterfully. A hilarious tale, completely in tone with canon.
