The life she had not been able to imagine was not a difficult one.
I got that. And it hurt.
Oh Valen, you're breaking my heart with this fic.
It should have been true.
That's our Delenn, re-writing history the way it should have been.
"You were their knives for a thousand years. We remember."
Yep. The Minbari were just like the Drakh, only more genocidal.
Ack. There are too many painful and beautiful lines in this fic to count. I am shattered by the end. And then this:
perhaps I will have learned enough to deserve a place by his side in another life."
*cries*
You broke my heart when it was Dukhat and not Lennier in the last section, but I can see that's how it has to be. It's this chain of destruction going on from teacher to student. Delenn didn't begin it, and she can't end it.
I don't know if she will be able to be with Lennier in a future life, not after this, any more than Dukhat can be with her.
Do you know where Lennier is? Or do you not know either? Gods I want a happy resolution to this, but I just can't see one.
Ack. This is so beautiful, it's everything about the Delenn/Lennier dynamic that tears me apart and is just so right. I'm so glad you write this.
