rivkaDAMN YOU LOIS BUJOLD.
I knew it was coming. In the first place, I knew that it had to happen in this book; I had heard that it was the reason why we waited eight years for the next book after Diplomatic Immunity. But also she telegraphed the ending. I was totally expecting it.
Still.
"The man has carried me since I was five years old," answered the Emperor of Barrayar. "It's my turn."
Still had me crying in the damn hospital cafeteria.

YES! WANT!
I have fantasized for years about plots of which Bujold would probably comment "looks like a job for fanfic woman." Imagine Ivan dropped into the Barrayaran equivalent of the plot of Heyer's Cotillion - that's like the awesomest fantasy sequence ever, isn't it?
And given that Bujold is Bujold, I suspect that there is stronger, darker, better stuff about Ivan lurking in her head than there is in mine.
