concept:

When Miles Vorkosigan is 17, the most lucrative cargo he spots is a haul of medical equipment. It hasn’t been sitting as long as the canonical Felician, but there is a little slack time from distaste at its destination: Jackson’s Whole.

He makes the trip. He runs into predictable kinds of trouble. He runs into a far more unpredictable kind of trouble when—well, possibly someone recognises him? Or possibly he just runs into a kid who looks maybe 14, and otherwise exactly like him.

There are sensible ways of dealing with this, but I think the Miles way of dealing with this involves eventually dragging back home with 50 kidnapped clones, an assortment of semi-random refugees-slash-criminals, about half an accidental mercenary company, and one baby brother in tow.

and if any of you had, just hypothetically, written, say, 178 vorkosigan saga fics, and were considering writing more, 

I’ve got about ninety million WIPs already, but I’ve got the writing bug today, so ask and ye shall receive, at least to the tune of a little ficlet :-D

Rereading shards of honor I realized how much Cordelia and Miles think alike when in a rough place. Especially looking at early Miles and Cordelia escaping Beta.

The beating up of that therapist and the crazy stories Cordelia came up with to trick her way off planet (with a very new pilot Artie Mayhew) is very miles. Especially the one who spun crazy stories to help both Baz and Mayhew and then his wild gaining of the dendarri.

Miles just had to follow through instead of running from all the repercussions of his stories.

So Really Miles gets it from his mom.
