Title: Five Ways Ekaterin Never Met Miles at Twenty
Author: Sahiya sahiya
Summary: Regret . . . And what if she and Miles had met at twenty, instead of she and Tien? It had been possible; she’d been a student at the Vorbarra District University, he’d been a newly minted officer in and out of the capital. If their paths had crossed, might she have won a less bitter life? — p. 534, A Civil Campaign
Pairing: Miles Vorkosigan/Ekaterin Vorsoisson
Rating: G
Why?
A slightly bittersweet look at what could have happened. We get the full range of Ekaterin’s characterisation: from an Ekaterin who’s entirely taken with physical attributes to an Ekaterin who can look past the physical to Miles’ brains and sense of humour.
