Summary:

Vorkosigan Vashnoi: for years now, it had loomed large in Dr. Ekaterin Vorsoisson’s mind. Perhaps it was inevitable that Ekaterin’s work in planetary ecology and recovery would lead her to a fascination with the ruined city, and a meeting with its tall, serious Count.

Summary:

“To dare to pluck a rose,” a sweet, melodious voice murmured, sounding close, too close. Ray jumped and dropped the flower. The guy who had snuck up on him was too good-looking to be true. Eyes more blue than the sea. Waves of crisp, dark hair. Lips as soft and pink and curled-up as a rosebud. And also wearing a kilt.

Summary:

Seeing the way the two heads, brown and white-pale, drifted together as the boys sat enjoying one last respite before the coming dark, Merriman knew that Will’s loves were braver, in their way, than his own, and he honored the spirit that paid its homage in spite of fate. That accepting grace was a challenge he had yet to master, his inclination still drifting to bitterness and inexorable grudge. Will hated not, but loved, and cared, and tried, and went on. In that, there was much he could learn from the young Old One who had once been his pupil, and Merriman was not too stiff-necked to deny the lesson.

Summary:

As Ekaterin worked her way through the medical and disability systems of the capital city of her home planet, one name kept coming to her notice: Miles, Lord Vorkosigan, founder and chair of the Barrayaran Disabled Children’s Crusade. The materials branded with that organization name, or that referred to Lord Vorkosigan personally in their metadata or introductory sections, were consistently reliable, up-to-date, and compassionate and humane in outlook, actually useful resources instead of technical-medical jargon or over-broad unhelpful platitudes.

Summary:

“Does your ma know you're this silly?” she demanded tartly.

He nodded, comically sad. “The few gray hairs she has on her head are my doing. But” - with an exaggerated change of mood - “I send her plenty of money, so she can pay to have them dyed!”
