Begging for prompts

extrapenguinThe Penguin wants to write fic, but has no inspiration for stories! This is a problem.
To solve the problem, the penguin is reaching out to this blog's readers to give prompts!
I've ficced in the honorverse and Vorkosigan Saga, but I'm also familiar with Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, everything written by John Scalzi and Isaac Asimov, all of Larry Niven's sci-fi, and a truly incredible number of written SF verses. If it's literary Science Fiction, I've probably read it. (Unless it's Heinlein or Dune.)
If I figure out how to write a fic based on your prompt, I'll gift it to you on AO3. In any case, any prompts from the comment threads are free game to any passers-by.

- Bel Thorne and Cordelia Vorkosigan, talking about anything besides Miles
- Ivan, attempting to explain to his mother how he found the trip to Cetaganda
- Simon and Aral, talking about Miles ("Is he driving you crazy like he's driving me crazy?")
- the young Koudelka sisters, making mischief
- Byerly Vorrutyer, breaking hearts and saving lives for the Imperium
I wanted to provide you with some other SF prompts but I've got little or nothing; Honorverse is not my favorite, and most of my interaction with other scifi is all slash. Do you count Dr. Who is scifi? Occasionally I get plot bunnies there as well, but they're basically all day-in-the-life for Jack Harkness or Amy Pond.

...Actually, Ivan explaining his trip to Lady Alys could be very entertaining if written right. "So, Ivan, how was your trip?" she asked.
How the hell was I supposed to reply? "Miles did his thing of finding trouble and catalyzing it further, but don't worry, Mom, I was very popular with the ghem-Ladies! Let me tell you about my sexual encounters..."
