* ''Synopsis:'' Ivan stops an unusual attack against Gregor in typical reluctant Ivan fashion. He winds up with anaphylaxis for his troubles, because of course he does.
* ''Comments:'' An excellent little story with a self-contained plot and very good character voices. Gives a brief look into Ivan and Gregor’s relationship dynamic, which is always fun.

* ''Synopsis'': What was happening on Barrayar while Miles was off accidentally creating the Dendarii.
* ''Comments'': Not much action, but very tense--gives the impression that Barrayar came ''this close'' to collapsing into civil war. Also great to see Gregor's perspective; he's portrayed sympathetically, even though in some ways he's an antagonist.

* ''Comments'' : The story starts slow but comes into it's own with the interplay of future Miles, past Miles, and Mark. The second story of the series "We All Want to Change the World" is even better.
