Okay, reccing two Vorkosigan fanfics in the span of one week might be a bit much, but it's not my fault if the good Vorkosigan fics go out at the same time, damnit!

A Covert Affair by [livejournal.com profile] sahiya
Ivan/Byerly
Ivan's life used to be much less complicated, back when he was dating women.

Why you must read it: Okay, beyond the part where I adore this pairing, this fic is awesome. The characterizations are just right, which is not that easy to do with Ivan, the writing flows delightfully with a tone of hysterical humour very close to Bujold's. The story is one about coming to terms with one's life and identity, mainly as being in a samesex relationship on Barrayar, but in broader maturing way as well; and that's a theme really not easy to tackle right and she did it with an extremely deft and sensitive hand.
Besides, it's got Aral in it. You must read it.
