as promised, Bujold-fic

Young!Byerly, gen, contains at least one major spoiler for A Civil Campaign. Pretty hard to write a proper summary without giving away said spoiler, so I will just say that this is dedicated to everyone who has ever had to deal with That Student, everyone who has ever been That Student, and (especially) everyone who has ever been on either side of the desk when That Student suddenly turns out to be something other than what they seem.
