more Vorkosigan fic

I should note that neither this nor Protective Coloration were the stories I set out to write in this fandom. What I intended to write were some missing scenes with the various (more Byronic than the Byrons, and two-thirds awesome) Vorrutyer cousins during A Civil Campaign, but for some reason I seem to be having an attack of burgeoning backstory. Oddly enough, I think this is backstory for Richars more than any of the others, even though he's barely in it, because that is pretty much the only way to write a story in which Richars is an even vaguely sympathetic character.

Five cousins, various equations of protection. Gen, but has references to rape, abortion, homophobia, and (probably) prostitution.
