    Summary

    Ah, here goes another poor bugger who’d risk his hide to keep Miles happy.
    Ivan Vorpatril, about most everyone. Especially himself.

    Or,
    in the months between Miles and Ekaterin's betrothal and their wedding, Ivan deals with invitations, seating charts, falling chandeliers, lifelong feuds, bouts of conscience, fits of terror and, worst of all, relatives.

    Summary

    Ivan always looked like an actor playing a model cadet in a training vid. This impressed the hell out of Kostolitz when Miles first introduced them, but he'd since amended the comparison to 'an actor in a training vid, who's perpetually on a break between shoots, and is eager to get back to a party – to which common folk are not invited -- going on in his trailer.'

    Miles looked like, well, Miles. That had taken some getting used to with the way Kostolitz had been raised. But Miles strategized like he was two meters tall and plasma-arc proof, and that fit Kostolitz's idea of a Barrayaran officer just fine.

    And four other perspectives.

    Summary

    They're having breakfast when he tells them. He only remembers because he'd dreamed weird again last night. This time it was an older boy, who was trying to stop a little golden-haired baby from crying.

    “What,” says Mom, in that flat voice she gets when she's trying not to sound surprised.

    “...what?” says Dad, who clearly hadn't been listening. That's fine, Shane forgets to listen too, sometimes.

    “I keep dreaming people I don't know,” Shane repeats patiently. He can be patient.

    Shane Hollander habitually ends up in other people's dreams, which is fine. It's a family trait, on both sides, to slip into the dreams of the people you love. What's less fine is how Shane keeps dreaming strangers.

    Or: like if a soulmates au took several detours.
