Not sure what the policy is on how long you wait before de-anoning kinkmeme fills but I'm too excited about my FIRST anonkinkmeme fill ever to hold off, so here.

Fandom: Vorkosiverse
Title: Enjoying the Opera
Characters/Rating: Alys Vorpatril, PG-13/R
Prompt: Simon Illyan/Alys Vorpatril, (semi) public sex. Alys Vorpatril is as proper as it gets. But just like Negri sometimes permitted himself a private judgment, she embraces impropriety, on occasion.
Summary: Lady Alys Vorpatril enjoys the opera for many reasons.

Title: Lunchtime Gossip
Rating: G, gen
Summary: Martin Kosti just wants to eat his lunch, and doesn't understand what these strange people want from him.
Author's Notes: So back in ... 2008, I think, there was one prompt at the Bujold ficathon that really sparked inspiration -- The prompt at the time was "Prompt: Martin (from Memory) enlists in the army and says something innocently about his temporary work for Miles. An experienced soldier realizes that Martin must have seen a lot of fascinating things about the whole Illyan\Haroche scandal and tries to get information out of Martin. He has trouble doing so because Martin doesn't know what is so special and why anyone should want to know about his job." I didn't sign up for it because I had so much other stuff I was working on, but I've been working on different drafts of this ever since. I actually had several complete drafts of this written that were totally different, but that I wasn't satisfied with. Year later, though, I've finally come upon a version I like -- or perhaps I'm just sick of it and want to be done!

( 'Have I got a juicy tidbit for you,' a cheery voice said from behind Corporal Fedor Golovin, following a low whistle. )

Some other snippets.

( Some Su Li (Harry Potter) rambles discussing practical Muggleborn overachievement )

( A throwaway line/idea for Iron Man fanfic )

----

( Another BujoldFest False Start )

So basically, these are the fanfics that I started for the fest, but never ended up finishing. Or my ideas for what I would have written. I'm not going to continue working on them, so up on my lj they go ...

Prompt: The first stirrings of a free press on Barrayar (any era)

( gossip rag, anyone? )

Prompt: What Piotr thought the first time he met Cordelia and at the moment she brought Pretender's head
Note - The final version of this was actually submitted and and be found here.

( You'll note similarities because there were some ideas I knew wanted in it -- I just wasn't sure how. )

I should also mention that I really, really like the last line of the final version. XD

Prompt: Elena Bothari and Elena Visconti's meeting on Escobar.
Note - Final version can be found here.

( Just a few sentences, really. )

Prompt: Mark finds out the real story of Miles' "resignation".

( These were just ideas I got down on paper, but it didn't really grab me, so that's why there's no more. )

More to follow in next post. :)
