August 31st, 2021 10:11 pm - 100 days of enemy recs: 33. Vorkosigan Saga
A third of the way through! Only 83/100 left on the spreadsheet! :D

Most of the really popular ships in (English language) Vorkosigan fandom aren't particularly enemy-ship-ish, so it's easy for me to sometimes forget that actually Shards of Honor is, among other things. an absolutely iconic enemies-to-lovers romance novel. And that basically the rest of the entire series is about the ripples that original cross-cultural romance is still leaving on Barrayaran society.

So here are some stories that may not be entirely classically enemies-to-lovers but are still about that.

  • Shelter and Solace (10432 words) by Dira Sudis

    Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Civil War, Childhood Trauma, Sad Kid, Refugees

    An AU that branches at the end of Shards of Honor where, instead of Cordelia seeking refuge on Barrayar, Aral comes to seek refuge on Beta.

    An AU where Aral's first wife lives, is a person, and thirty years later they even manage to talk civilly to each other.


  • Vorkosigan's Day (4580 words) by Philomytha
    Fandom: Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold

    Aral gives his annual talk to the Barrayaran Imperial Academy about ethics and the Komarran conquest, and the first Komarran cadet really wasn't prepared for who Aral had become since then.


  • Lilies of the Field (7814 words) by raven
    Chapters: 1/1
    Fandom: Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
    Rating: Not Rated

    Relationships: Simon Illyan/Alys Vorpatril, Aral Vorkosigan/Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan
    Characters: Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan, Alys Vorpatril, Simon Illyan, Gregor Vorbarra

    Cordelia gets a small taste from the other side of what you have to deal with when your head of state decides to marry someone for love from a planet that half of you still consider mutual enemies.
