Title: Died in unknown circumstances
Author: jetta_e_rus aka Georgette
Recipient: thewhiteowl
Rating/Warning: gen, PG-13 for the dark and character's death (all in-canon)
Summary: when Emperor Yuri had decided to kill all Vorbarras, he gave no quarter
Author's Notes::
translated from Russian by Georgette with the beta-reading of quietann who has all my hearty thanks
This is a free entry. thewhiteowl wanted "a story about young Aral, maybe in the Mad Yuri war". This story is not about Aral himself but about one of his relatives, however there is Mad Yuri's massacre in all its obviousness.

Intimations of Maturity
by kassia06
Written for avon7, who wanted Miles and Ivan being friends. "Cousins" might be a better word for what they're behaving like here, but, either way, it's a lot of Miles and Ivan. It's overlong, for which I apologize. I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Warnings: Um, there's like, one swear word. Does that count?
Summary: Ivan and Miles go on a double date. Takes place before The Warrior's Apprentice.

Title: Cattilara and the Demon
Author: nishatalitha
Recipiant: silver05
Rating: PG
Notes: Silver05 wondered what was in the letter Iselle wrote to Bergon in The Curse of Chalion. Unfortunately, Iselle stayed stubbornly silent on that matter, but Silver05 also suggested that a story from Lady Cattilara and/or her demon's perspective would be interesting, and Cattilara was much more obliging. Thanks to my flatmate, C, and quietann for the beta.

• Title:
My Heart and My Honour
• Author: thewhiteowl
• Recipient:
altariel
• Rating/any warnings:
Mentions of rape and torture, so, um, no under-10s? Rather less graphic than the books, anyway. Contains traces of Miles. Is ridiculously long.
• Any other information: This fic owes a great deal to ajhalluk, both for a very thorough beta-reading, and for mentioning some author called Lois McMaster Bujold so often that when I saw a book called Cetaganda on a library shelf, I said, 'This seems familiar...'
• Summary:
altariel requested a 'missing scene' (e.g. his face-off with Aral from The Vor Game, or the conversation with Cordelia about Serg, or the moments before the drop from the balcony).
Being permanently unable to make up what I'm pleased to call my mind, I did two missing scenes, weighing in at a total of >8000 words.
Set during the closing part of The Vor Game. Gregor dealing with power, what his father was, and growing up.

My Heart and My Honour
Part I: Aral

I'm not quite finished with Cordelia's bit yet; it should follow tomorrow.
