Miles Vorkosigan fanfic vignette

therealjae asked me for an entry for her Secrets vignette collection. She specified (for me) that it be from a science fiction book universe that I've liked. As luck would have it, I was just rereading Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold. This was my entry. Assume the standard fan fiction disclaimer here (i.e. characters are property of Ms. Bujold, etc.). I hope that Ms. Bujold does not harm me as I really like her stuff. I don't normally engage in fanfic of any kind.
