In which my luck continues to be very good
Because I got a couple of belated presents!
schemingreader committed meta for me! It's for Your Own Good, Severus, which has some very smart things to say about why some of us find Snape and dubcon interesting and it's full of great insights and wow, it left me feeling very lucky indeed. Go, read!
And THEN, to top it off, a double drabble arrived in today's mail fromsnakeling. I will boldly claim credit for being one of those who pimped her into the Vorkosiverse, and my efforts are well repaid here: with a clever Ivan/By double drabble. Ivan's rather convoluted and intelligent cluelessness never palls, for me:
"Oh, no. Oh, nononono. You can't mean that. It's the most stupid plan ever, even by Miles' standards." Ivan look at all three men in turn, Gregor (his 'let's see what happens' smile on), Miles (twitchy and annoyed), Byerly (three seconds away from bursting out laughing, the bastard). "It's never going to work. I'm a, a womanizer! I have never once had an affair with a man! People know that! What makes you think they would believe that I'm sleeping with Byerly Vorrutyer? Of all men? This---" He shook the flimsy in his hand for emphasis. "----sounds like the set up of a bad romance novel, to be honest."
Gregor flushed, and Miles grinned maniacally. A horrible suspicion formed in Ivan's mind.
He turned towards Byerly, who straightened away from the wall he'd been leaning against, stepped forward, caught Ivan's face in his hands, and kissed him. Ivan made a small humphing sound, low in his throat, resisted for, oh, all of three seconds, then yielded to the soft insistent mouth as he'd wanted to do for ages (not that you'd get him to admit this even under fast-penta).
When they emerged for air, even Gregor was grinning.
"Not a word."
