Continuing my Vorkosigan Saga book covers project! I started this one nearly 2 years ago, and every once in a while I’d pull it out, poke at it, and then set it aside again for a few months. A few weeks ago I finished all the different pieces and this week I finally put the finishing touches on it.

I’m really proud of how this turned out. Memory is an incredible book, such a significant turning point in the series, and also just a fun read. And while Memory doesn’t have the same level of questionable book covers as other parts of the series, I couldn’t leave this idea alone once I had it.

Cordelia Arrives on Barrayar

Was this comic confusing to read?

Please let me know. critiques welcome :)

Not sure if the comic really flows or is all that funny, but I entertained myself making it so here ya are. Kindof a shitpost? Vordarian, Serg/Vorrutyer (forgot they were two separate people until after I finished drawing) and young Gregor, Team Rocket posing.

one-way ticket, yeah — 8300 words, gregor vorbarra/byerly vorrutyer. kink exploration filth ft. gregor’s serg-related issues (and also his illyan issues, a little).

It was obvious enough what Vorrutyer had been sent for. Illyan—or, more likely, someone else in Gregor’s government, and Gregor could place bets on who—wanted to know whether Gregor preferred boys, and so Illyan had chosen one of his dirty angels to test the theory.

In which Gregor learns more about himself than he’d bargained for.

Welcome to the Vorkosigan Kink Meme!

This is a prompt meme being run hybrid on tumblr and ao3--there is also an ao3 collection where prompts can be both submitted and filled, but you are also free to submit prompts here on tumblr and they will be crossposted to the ao3 collection (and vice versa). Any fic or art that you want to post on tumblr to fill a prompt can also be sent to this blog.

ALL CURRENT PROMPTS ARE COLLECTED HERE

Send in an anonymous prompt here!

Prompt Guidelines:

Requests can be for anything Vorkosigan related. Kink of any kind, minor characters, rarepairs, wacky AUs, or more of the fandom's favorite tropes, whatever you want to see! Prompts can be very specific, almost a fic outline, or only a few words long. Lastly, don't forget to add any Do Not Wants (DNW) to your prompt if you have any. These are kinks that squick you out or story tropes that you don't want to see--anyone who claims the prompt agrees to avoid any stated DNWs.

If you have fic or art to fill a prompt, you can submit it on tumblr here or add it to the collection on ao3. I've put together more detailed instructions about that on the collection FAQ page.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out here or at my main, @curious-kat. I'm very excited to do this and I want to make it as smooth an experience as possible!

Have fun and go wild!

God, I love the way that Miles' past and present are colliding here.

I don't know when this was written chronologically, but Miles doesn't actually get to wriggle out of the consequences of his actions in The Warrior's Apprentice

and even though time heals all wounds, he doesn't get to wriggle out of having to see Elena again, either.

it's fantastically well written and I'm loving where this is going.

Also, "maybe we should send Gregor to the salt mine once a year, for his health", is making me laugh out loud.

NARRATOR: No record survives of precisely when or how Emperor Gregor first picked up knitting. The first public acknowledgement of the Imperial Hobby was in the thirty-eighth year of his reign, when the Emperor was forty-three. However, it is abundantly clear that the Emperor had been knitting for some years before this. Throughout this audio tour, alongside clips and reenactments, you’ll be hearing reminisces from Princess Olivia herself. Here’s one now:

P. OLIVIA: My father knit almost constantly inside the private Residence. I remember him reading me and my brothers to sleep as children: he would balance the handreader on his knee or the arm of his chair, and go on knitting over top of it. Never dropped a stitch, never skipped a line. And his character voices were legendary.

Gregor kissed her palm. “Yes, and I’ll bet you were a darling blastocyst.”

The uterine replicators allow for 90% of the plot developments of this entire saga. Entire planetary cultures and existences are only possible because of them, much less any individual character.

And also they allow for lines like this.

finally done with my Gregor playlist!! only took *checks notes* 2 years ... but it's finally in a state that I am happy with, so here it is, chronologically-ordered as always. Thoughts/comments very welcome, I always love to know of different interpretations of non-pov characters :)

I’ve been writing a Vorkosigan Saga fanfic about Miles’s children’s lives and the general socio-political situation on Barrayar after Miles’s death. The entire fic is far from complete, and maybe never will be complete, but at least I have written a few scenes I’m happy with. I’m particularly happy with a chapter in which Gregor contemplates retiring from being emperor and handing over the reins to his eldest son (named Xav in this fic). So I have decided to post the following scene, which is an outtake from that chapter, since it’s fairly standalone and can be understood even without most of the context from the rest of the fic. 

For some brief context, though: As the books imply that Miles will die (permanently) fairly young, considering his multiple health problems, in this fic, Miles dies at the age of 56. This scene takes place a few weeks later. Gregor (who is 62) has asked some of the women in his life – Cordelia, Alys, Drou, and Ekaterin – for tea to discuss the possibility of retirement with them. Laisa is present as well. Ekaterin is the POV character (though in this scene, she’s mostly just there as an observer). Btw, Simon is also already dead. Ivan is on his second career, as a diplomat.

‘I wish Aral were here, so I could talk to him about this. Or Simon. Or Miles,’ Gregor sighed and held his head.

‘Did you talk to Ivan about this?’ asked Ekaterin slowly. Alys raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.

‘Yes, actually I did. I managed to get a chance to talk to him after the funeral. Just about half an hour, since he had to leave immediately to get back to Rho Ceta, given the delicate political situation there. But he did give me some fairly straightforward advice.’

‘Which was…?’ asked Alys.

Gregor smiled. ‘He told me bluntly that I was a fool for not considering retirement sooner. He said that I should hand over the reins to Xav as soon as possible, and then take Laisa on a long and very leisurely jaunt through the Nexus, visiting all sorts of touristy spots and lying on as many beaches as possible. He particularly recommended the beaches of Ylla. I’m not entirely certain he was sincere about that last part, since I once sent him and Tej to Ylla as a punishment. But the rest of his advice seemed solid.’

Alys nodded in approval. ‘Now if only he’d take that advice himself and retire. And bring himself and his daughters back home to their grandmother who misses them so much,’ she added with a sniff.

Ekaterin, Cordelia, and Drou shared a look, while Gregor tried to come up with a diplomatic response to this. Laisa, a practised diplomat and familiar with Alys’s moods, put in smoothly, ‘We really couldn’t spare him right now, Alys, what with the continuing crisis with the Cetagandans. After all, Ivan is currently our foremost expert on relations with the Cetas.’

Alys looked slightly mollified at this undeniably true fact.

Cordelia tried to get the conversation back on track. ‘Do you think Xav is ready to be emperor?’

‘He’s twenty-five; he’ll be twenty-eight by the time this is a done deal. Surely he is old enough,’ said Laisa, a little maternal anxiety underlying her positive words.

‘I was five when I became emperor. Twenty-eight is certainly old enough,’ said Gregor with a snort.

‘Surely you don’t want his experience as a new emperor to be anything like yours?’ said Cordelia, raising her eyebrow.

‘No, my god, not at all,’ replied Gregor, with a shudder. After a few moments of contemplative silence, he resumed, ‘I suppose I’m not the most objective person to gauge this. After all, I’ve been emperor nearly my whole life. Being emperor is completely intertwined with my identity. I have genuinely no idea how anyone else – even my son – would handle the same responsibilities. But that’s also one of the reasons that I want to retire. Not just to hand over my responsibilities, I mean, but to find out who I am when I am not emperor. Who is Gregor Vorbarra? There are times when I’m really not sure. And I’d really like to know before I die.’

‘I know who Gregor Vorbarra is. After all, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with him, or married him, if I didn’t know that,’ said Laisa, leaning over to kiss him on the cheek gently. ‘But if you need to find out, then I’m happy to support you in that, darling.’

If you’re a fan of the Vorkosigan saga, I can’t recommend enough a fic I read recently called “I was out here listening all this time” by @lannamichaels​, wherein Gregor is an active member of a Komarran music online fan board. It’s twisty and fantastic.

Naturally, the fic includes a lot of discussion/worldbuilding of the music, and I was inspired to make a playlist! These are ‘ship tunes,’ space sea shanties originally sung onboard Komarran trade fleet ships. I had fun choosing real-world songs that fit the vibe, lyrics aside.

Check out the fic if you haven’t already, and enjoy some ship tunes!
