Weekly Bujold-based Fic Challenges' Journal

This week's prompt: birth
As

philomytha pointed out over on LJ, LMB often deals with reproductive themes. Given that it's the beginning of the year, often represented as an infant, this seems like a good time to play with those themes a bit.

This week's prompt, then, is birth. Could be literal birth, could be more metaphorical. Fic of all lengths and art are welcome. And, if this doesn't spark your muse, past prompts are always available for potential inspiration as well.

Also, so far there's just

philomytha volunteering to help rotate the prompt postings. Anybody else care to help out? The more who volunteer, the less often your turn will come up. :-)
