*** ''Literature/WorldOfTheFiveGods'':
*** Dowager Royina Ista tells of the close but non-romantic relationship she had with her husband's male lover, and how much her husband loved them both.
*** Adelis and Nikys's mothers were the wife and concubine of a Cedonian general, respectively. The two women became fast friends and their children treated each other as full siblings.

Added DiffLines:
* BigBeautifulWoman: While not all Bujold love interests are portrayed this way, there are several whose attractiveness to their partners is due to their size and not in spite of it; Laisa (Emperor Gregor's wife in the ''Vorkosigan Saga'') and Nikys (Penric's wife in ''World of the Five Gods'') are the most prominent examples.

* AnachronicOrder: Individual works tend to be in order internally, but she has a tendency to insert books into gaps in existing series, such as adding ''Barrayar'', ''The Vor Game'' and ''Cetaganda'' into the timeline of the Vorkosigan books, or inserting ''Penric's Fox'' and ''Masquerade in Lodi'' into the Penric stories.
