Captain Vorpatril's Alliance
I read it! And now there are spoilers of a generally superficial nature.
Before actually reading the book, I peeked just enough at one of![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ellen_fremedon's posts about it to see an observation that it felt like fanfic, and when I was capslocking at people about it over IM, I kept saying THIS IS MY FAVORITE IVAN FANFIC EVER.
And that's basically how I feel about it. I loved it a lot, I am a sucker for canon het ships, and I think basically it's a story written by an Ivan partisan with the thesis YOU SHUT UP, IVAN IS AWESOME AND HE DESERVES TO BE HAPPY. And I'm okay with that! It was a lot of fun to read.
AND THAT SAID CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE PART THAT MADE ME GESTICULATE WILDLY AT MY COMPUTER SCREEN IN SHEER DELIGHT WHEN I GOT TO IT. BECAUSE I ALREADY CHANGED MY JOURNAL SUBTITLES TO "ALL ABOUT COMMODORE JOLE'S NEW SAILBOAT".
:D :D :D :D :D
MY TIN HAT, YOU GUYS, IT IS NEVER, EVER COMING OFF. Cordelia! Telling Ivan all about Jole's new sailboat in a chatty family update letter! Because when Alys and Simon visit Aral and Cordelia on Sergyar, naturally they all hang out with Jole! On his shiny new sailboat!
:D :D :D :D :D
Also, ahahahha, man, if Tej meets Aral and Jole she's going to KNOW. I have to figure out what to do about that, down-arc....

Not quite sure I buy into it, but it does fit into canon quite nicely, and I certainly see what all the chortling over Jole's sailboat was about [g].
