    This author does the reverse of Bujold's usual and asks "What's the BEST thing that can happen to these characters?" and turns those good things into a cracking good story. If you like Cetagandans, read this. If you like Ekaterin, read this. Does something rare in Vorkosific by putting Nikki front and center and not ignoring him in favor of Miles' biological children. A bit over the top on the good fortune, but what the hell, it's the happyverse. Happy doesn't mean simple - the plotting and politics are enjoyably complex and byzantine.

    Summary

    This Miles fanfic novel of manners is in canon to A Civil Campaign and Winterfair Gifts, but AU to Diplomatic Immunity.

    Besides the devil making work for idle hands, and a runaway plot-bunny that most unnaturally mated with a New Year Resolution, it's mostly a result of upending LMB's creative rule of thumb about when in doubt making the worst possible thing happen. Suppose really good things started happening, and Miles was there to run with them ...

    And it really is a novel of manners--those 175,000 words had to go somewhere. There is a great deal of conversation involved while not a lot happens--though somewhere deserving does get spectacularly invaded, I'm happy to say. But if you don't mind lengthy manners and quite fancy a surprising outbreak of galactic peace in the summer of 2804 ...
