I agree about the energy -- gosh, it's a bit like jumping the shark, isn't it? Miles gets married and WHOOSH. I re-read a lot of the books, especially ACC and Komarr, and one or two the early ones with Miles at his most manic. But I barely remember what has happened post ACC except Aral, of course.

And yes, there is terrific fic out there. Though I admit still my favorite is the crack cross over of AJ Hall's where Draco Malfoy materializes at Vorkosigan Surreal and then, most especially when he apparates into the back of Ivan's lightflyer on top of a dozen roses.
