Title: At Last
Gift for: beccastareyes
Artist: gardendoor
Rating: G
Fandom: Miles Vorkosigan
Characters: Miles/Ekaterin
Warnings: None
Artist notes: Brushpen with Photoshop color.
Summary: Miles and Ekaterin, happy in their lives and with each other. I wanted to draw Miles with his Auditor chain and the grays he still wears to remind him of his Dendarii days, and Ekaterin in the blue that Miles thought would match her eyes when he first met her on Komarr, with her hair less tightly bound to signify how much less confined she is in her new life.

Illisidi and conversational bombs. Yes, I have the same reaction of hoping for these!

I was stretching the point of their similarities a bit to justify using the icon *g* though I'm definitely a fan of brilliant articulate heroes with excellent instincts (and the combination of SF and historical style societies). Miles is likely to create a huge dizzying spectacle while solving his problems, often gets himself into messes in the first place, and it's simply fun to watch him plot and scheme. He is definitely a force of nature.

Bren doesn't need to create his own problems or dizzying spectacles - he has atevi and human politics for that *g*. I like seeing the contrast between his internal struggles & uncertainties versus his outward calm and sure instinct, and the way he just keeps navigating his way through everything.
