Summary:
A reader writes:
So, I’m not experiencing any problems yet, but I’m about to enter a very professionally (and personally!) awkward position at work, and I’d really like your advance on how to handle it. Long story short, my mother is about to become my direct supervisor. For a year. And there’s literally nothing I can do about it. Help??

My slightly inept searching can't find the Captain Awkward Answers Aral Vorkosigan one, though. Sadness.
Edit: Found it. Not by the same author, and not about Aral and Cordelia, which was *my* assumption and therefore not, in and of itself, a problem. https://archiveofourown.org/works/8924812/chapters/20443798

Thank you for finding this - I didn't have the oomph. And now I have something to read tonight :)
