I mean, uh. Welcome aboard the We Want It And It Doesn't Exist train, with your conductor, Krait's Brain? :D
I don't know that I could put together a coherent prompt, but I'll think about it. I just need ELENA THE SPACE MERC. PLEASE. What did she learn from Miles, and from Baz, and from Quinn? Give me all of her zany adventures with the Dendarii, working her way up the ranks and watching Miles from the outside as he dives in and out again, no longer a shadow over her and increasingly a stranger. Give me her gradual growth into the power and position she holds, and her shifting opinions on Barrayar/her father/the Vor/the military, and the developing bonds she builds with the people she works with every day. (One imagines that Barrayarans don't have much respect for mercenaries; give me Elena's feelings about being one of them, and how they change!)
I like Werst a lot, too! He should definitely get more moments in the spotlight. (Plus, quite aside from his own merits, more Werst = less Craig?)
What is it with MilSF woman protagonist/designated dude LI always being a NOTP, sigh.
Huh. Hadn't really thought about it, but - yep. Except Paul Tankersley; I quite liked him and Honor together!
