yuletide reveal

[lotesse]

I'm trying not to put too much symbolic weight on this new year; I want to, but I'm not quite ready to declare the new beginning, not just yet. If I pay too much attention to the passage of time, it feels like it's slipping away from me, but I'm not ready to stop letting it go.

For yuletide, I wrote:

The marriage plot (2403 words) by lotesse
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ekaterin Vorsoisson Vorkosigan/Miles Vorkosigan, Aral Vorkosigan/Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan, Georg Vorthys/Helen Vorthys
Characters: Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan, Helen Vorthys, Aral Vorkosigan, Ekaterin Vorsoisson Vorkosigan
Additional Tags: Marriage, Awkward Conversations, Feminist Themes
Summary: “And so I suppose they'll be married,” Helen said, sitting down in the antechamber of Aral and Cordelia's suite with a sigh and toeing off her shoes.

(it was hard to do, a bit; everything I want to write comes out so intense and personal atm that I have to do a lot of facing-up to myself. I wanted to recognize and affirm all the concerns that y'all have articulated about the speed of Miles and Ekaterin's marriage, but also to honor the very real way the ship helped me personally. Reading Komarr while I was still with my Ex was like a blow and a promise all at once: the blow of recognition, but also the promise that if I could just get away from my own Tien, love like Miles' would potentially become available to me.)

I was gifted with two more Vorkosigan Saga fics, both about Ekaterin, which was great fun:

Night, Vorkosigan House (2069 words) by kalirush
