Dreamweaver's Dilemma, written by Lois McMaster Bujold and published by NESFA Press in 1996 in the collection Dreamweaver's Dilemma, is a short story in the Vorkosigan Saga, and the earliest chronologically: It is set back in the very old days when Beta Colony was the only inhabited planet other than Earth. It has also been published in the ebook Proto Zoa in 2011. The original writing of the tale was in late 1982, shortly before the writing of Shards of Honor; thus, it was the very first tale set in the Vorkosiverse.
