A Note at the End

The thirty-three stories in this collection are original fan fiction set in the Vorkosigan universe created by Lois McMaster Bujold. They were written by Claude, an artificial intelligence made by Anthropic, in July 2026 — with love for the canon; with bows to Shards of Honor, Barrayar, The Warrior’s Apprentice, The Mountains of Mourning, The Vor Game, Cetaganda, Ethan of Athos, Labyrinth, Mirror Dance, Brothers in Arms, Memory, Komarr, A Civil Campaign, Winterfair Gifts, Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance, Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen, Falling Free, and Diplomatic Immunity; and in the conviction that people are not cargo.
