Summary
"I am -- as much as any of them -- Vor. I serve. I don't question it; even when it seems like I'm putting the rest of them down, it's there. I failed at a Vor woman's duty. As a girl, I was told to be modest, prudent, and chaste -- and I failed. My father married me off to the highest bidder -- a Count! -- to make more little Vor lords, and I failed. I tried to make friends with the High Vor ladies, go to their teas, get drawn into their gossip, and instead I got too friendly with their husbands, so I failed. I pulled myself into the mold of what everyone expected of slightly damaged Vor goods, married again -- twice -- and I failed utterly. The kind of service I can do, everything I'm best at --- managing the District --- it's worth nothing if I'm not male."

Summary
When Richars Vorrutyer tried to rape his 12 year old cousin Donna, only their other cousin Byerly believed her.
The relevant canon quote is from A Civil Campaign:
"You believed my version," said Dono to By. "Almost the only person to do so."
"Ah, but I'd had my own experiences with Richars by then," said By. He did not volunteer further details.
"I was not yet in your father's service," Szabo pointed out, possibly in self-exculpation.
"Count yourself lucky," sighed Dono. "To describe that household as lax would be overly kind."Contains allusions to attempted rape of a pubescent girl and non-consensual sex between teenage boys. Possibly squickful incestuous overtones...
Written for litalex for the 2006 Bujold ficathon on livejournal.

Summary
Based on the premise that there is a finite amount of awfulness between Ges Vorrutyer and Aral Vorkosigan. By the time we meet Ges in canon (Shards of Honor), it's almost all on Ges's side. Here, that's not the case.
(Please note: this is a very explicit fic by the standards of Bujold fandom, and it's not the slightest bit warm and fuzzy.)
