(This may be why *I* am still single - I tend to be drawn to relationships that make very good stories...)
I mean 'drama avoiding' not in the sense of cutting down gratuitous angst, but of reducing canonical complexity down to romantic-stereotype simplicity, like a lot of Delenn/Sheridan fic.
How about Delenn/Sheridan canon? I was just thinking about them, as the only Former Enemies Must Boff pairing that I've seen that somehow manages not to be hot. Maybe because they never actually confront the one thing that makes their relationship most interesting? And yet, that is probably the better choice for their relationship.
