Here via network. I agree ACC is homage to Sayers and one in which the woman gets to do the asking and save the hero instead of the other way round, and I get Ekaterin thinking "well I know how it's going to end, and I will give in eventually, so why not just do it now, when my giving in loudly and in public would actually be useful to him" but after that I'd like them to agree on a five year engagement at least before she has to become Countess Vorkosigan, in which she can go off and gain garden design qualifications, set up a small business, or whatever she needs to do By Herself in order to Be Herself. She needs to find out who she is without Tien before she gets swallowed up by Miles, who tends to swallow people.

I'd also like the version in which Tien doesn't handily die and they all have to work that one out.
