Lois McMaster Bujold
Well, fans can and do make up whatever they want to fill in the blanks, but I see the relationship progressing slowly from the traumas after the Pretender's War, through to increasing mutual respect as they each grow into their new jobs, to secret hopeless silent but not mutually unaware pining in the later years. To, with the chip removal and Simon's retirement, the glorious freedom that we see glimpses of thereafter in the books. So: not realization, but opportunity at last.

"Ethan of Athos" is one of my favorites and, perhaps, one of the most socially significant stories you've written because it demonstrates the power of encounters with the "hated other" to transform bigotry into respect. It's lack of popularity grieves me. I have wondered if a story about a planet made up of women who are equally suspicious of men (but for non-religious reasons) might be better received. Thoughts?

In a discussion with friends about Diplomatic Immunity, I mentioned having seen you say that you regretted not having made the plot resolution section with Ekaterin be present tense, from her POV, rather than described after the fact. Someone asked where I had seen that - and I can't find it! I had thought it was in an afterward, but I'm not seeing it. Do you remember where that might be? Thank you!
