I'm thinking about Aral Vorkosigan, as one does, and about "Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen," and I realized something.
Aral was so beloved by two people that even *after he dies* they want to create more pieces of him to love. I mean, Oliver and Cordelia could have talked about having children together, but... no.
Cordelia is like, "I've been wanting more children with Aral since I met him, and death is not stopping me." And also, "Here, Oliver, you should have some too because he loved you as well."
And Oliver is like, well, you're being Cordelia-odd but...THAT SOUNDS AWESOME. I'M IN.
