Summary: Regret . . . And what if she and Miles had met at twenty, instead of she and Tien? It had been possible; she'd been a student at the Vorbarra District University, he'd been a newly minted officer in and out of the capital. If their paths had crossed, might she have won a less bitter life? - pp. 534, A Civil Campaign
Why: Isn't this an awesome idea? Seriously, I was thrilled with this one, and since it's Sahiya, of course it's well done. I think that my favorite was the last one, but all these are just really great. Sure, I wouldn't trade Ekaterin and Miles's real relationship for the world, but it's still a lot of fun to think of what might have happened if only they had met sooner.

Summary: Gregor was in a closet. It smelled like Ivan's socks. And it was all Miles's fault.
Why: Sahiya is one of the immensely talented authors of A Deeper Season, the classic Gregor/Miles story, so it probably should come as no surprise that I loved this. Sahiya has some really great comedic timing that had me snickering the entire way through this. I also really loved seeing a younger Miles and Gregor. Oh, and Ivan! I'm always an Ivan fangirl, but I don't think it's bias talking when I say that Ivan is amazing in this story. Not to mention the dialogue; there are so many great lines in this story that I found myself stopping quite a few times just to re-read them and laugh properly. In all, this is a really fun romp that I highly enjoyed.
