Why this must be read:

Missing scene from near the end of Barrayar (aka Cordelia's Honor). Alys visits Cordelia in the Imperial Residence.  The RCK captures both Cordelia and Alys.  This fic explores the reality of being a woman versus the roles of being a woman, and how two women from such very different cultural backgrounds can be good friends despite their disagreements.  It's also about the intersections of personal and political.  Cordelia, at the end of Cordelia's Honor, is basically the Emperor's foster mother, and she knows she needs help to navigate the intricacies of Barrayaran society.  Of course, she turns to Alys.
