Title: The Apology
Characters: Kou (Clement Koudelka, here a lieutenant and Vorkosigan's secretary) and Aral Vorkosigan (here the Imperial Regent, a retired admiral, and a Count's Heir). Both of Aral's wives mentioned.
Summary: Missing scene from Barrayar (aka the second half of Cordelia's Honor); Aral apologizes to Kou for his reaction in the library.
Author's Notes: Aral typically makes his actions serve more than one purpose, and this is no exception... not that Kou notices it here. Also, I wanted to call it The Library Incident, but that applies to so many things, and in this particular book really should be the night of the assassination attempt.

I was expecting Simon Illyan to look a bit like Illya Kuryakin, and he does.

I was taken by surprise when Duv Galeni looked like Kerr Avon and Elena Bothari-Jesek looked like Servalan. X3 LAughing like a loon at my desk is a go!

(Elli Quinn also looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it...)

Kris Longknife and Miles Naismith Vorkosigan.

Don't get me wrong, it would be EPIC. And they have so much in common! Which is, of course, part of the problem.

Entertaining as hell on their own, though.
