An icon of me with the Lord of the Rings hair. Doesn't it look like I just kind of pulled it forward and hacked it off so it wouldn't be in my face? That's because I did. Elvengirl told me my eyebrows could use plucking, but I kind of like how they look. Then again I've always been fond of bushy eyebrows.
So, anyway. This stupid Ivan/Byerly story I've been working on for ages; I've come to hate it. I feel like the guys don't act enough like guys, and the feedback I get from my beta reader indicates that my sense of dramatic timing is off. I had the climax happen about like I thought it really should, I mean, if such things were playing out in real life. I think I'll just post what I have here and hope someone can give me a clue, since I just don't know what the fuck I'm doing at this point.
Title: Adjusting Perspective
Author: Derien
Fandom: Vokosigan series, Lois McMaster Bujold
Pairing: Ivan/Byerly
Rating: PG 13 for some implications
Summary: Byerly's reputation is in danger? Also, weapons runners from Jackson's Whole.
Notes: No more AU than any slash, but borrowing some artifacts from "A Deeper Season" and "What Passing Bells" universe. (At least I'm reasonably sure that's where I picked up the flower shop girl, although I gave her a name. But that's certainly where the androgenesis idea came from.) Miles is with Ekaterin, Gregor is with Laisa, Ivan's at loose ends.

Chapter 2
